Default Question on mounting of solenoids

Dry/Wet/??
The performance will be the same just take longer to hit. The delay will be from solenoids to nozzles. If wet you just need to watch delay time from fuel on to
n20.

I have nx (wet kit). I will be running my fuel line next to the n2o line. Will this take care of the delay time with the fuel?

Nitrous is under more pressure so you could run lean for a split second depending on the lenght of the lines.

Dont think id run two long lines from the noids to the nozzle, seems t me you would have too long a lean spike.

That is a really long run from the noids to the nozzles. 5 ft plus depending on routing.. I think that is too long of a run... You will see a pretty good lean spike..

Just keep in mind.. when mounting noids, you want the best air flow to keep them cool, heat is the enemy! You want to try and keep them as close as possible, too far away could result in a lean condition, also won't hit as quickly

Thanks a lot guys. All of you basically answered the same way. Looks like I have to find a better place to mount. Thanks for answering my question.

Check my web site, my normal location is on the pass front head. Easy to make a mount for that location. Works great and your much closer. You could even mount fuel noid right on the end of fuel rail, then n2o noid on head mount. Lots of choices really.

WE carry custom solenoid mounts for the ls1.They bolt to the passenger side head.This will give a nice clean install.
