Default Best Place for Nitrous
Hey i was wondering where the best place to put a nitrous bottle is. Although i havent bought the kit yet, i want nobody to know i have it and i plan on using a remote bottle opener. I also have TTops and i still want to be able to put the ttops in the back rack. Is there any other place to mount it? now i know im probly gonna get flamed for saying this but.... in the fast and the furious they had theirs mounted under the seats. I cant find a bottle small enough to do that but it seems like it would be a pretty good idea.... flame on!

Actually the bottle would have to be so small that it would not last long enough.Most people put the bottle in the spare tire area.If you do not have your airbag and air conditioning it will fit in that area.If you are trully wanting a hidden system we can plumb a system inside your intake.If you want a dry system check out our Halo system.It can easly be hidden also.

oh the system would be direct port, im getting a FAST 90/90. If the bottle only lasts for about 5 runs then im fine with that. I dont plan on making this a track car, the nitrous is just a safeguard in case i run up on any cobras.

Try doing a search on this section, I know most of us have posted pics of our mounted bottles.

On a z28, the 2 most popular spots are in the spare tire area, and on the hump between the rear seats.

Best place for the nitrous is in the bathroom with a locked door. Then open the bottle all the way and enjoy!

I built a shelf/floor wrapped it in auto carpet, metal strapped it to the fender, and bolted the bottle brackets to the shelf/floor.
