what size fitting do i need to run a braided blowdown line on a N.O.S. bottle. I want to mount the bottle between the back seats.

I used the hard line NOS tube and mine is mounted in between the back seats. Not sure what the size is .

It would look best if you just put a -8AN 90* swivel hose end on the bottle. And then just get some cheap -8 braided line. It doesn't have to hold pressure, braided vacuume hose will work.


Just to give you an idea.

Use -8 all the way to the bulkhead fitting. I have dual 15# bottles with plumbed intoa -8 Y connection to a single line going to the bulkhead. Its on a C5 but it shouldn'y be much different. My.02

Rules just say vented to exterior. You can use any hose w/ any attachment that will pass tech. Example= silcone hose w/hose covers, as long as it is
FIRMLY attached.

That is true but I would highly reccomend steel braided hose so you know its going to be there seeing as though its not usually tested.. Most of the reason why it would pop would be too high of pressure so if you had silicone hose for the blow down and the ends came loose you would have one pissed off medusa in the back of your ride..

aren't most burst discs set at about 3,000psi? i'd want to use line that was rated for high pressure so it vents outside the car and not just bust those hose.

Hose is opened ended so see's no real pressure. My track allows clamps and hose, however, I use braided and an fittings. Looks good and is durable.

Don't use rubber hose and a hose clamp. Definetly use AN lines (should be teflon AN lines).

And most importantly, make sure you use a bulkead fitting where it exits the car. Don't just push the hose out through a hole. Because the tube will whip around like a firehose on nitrous, its super violent.

Want to hear a good one. My buddy on his '03 Z06 has a piece of green garden hose clamped on the stock blow down tube. It runs down under bottle and goes no where. Hasn't passed tech yet. I just say hmmmm... oh uh ok.
