Default Blow down tube adapter

I have an NOS 15lb bottle with an Earls blow down tube, but it doesn't have the adapter fitting for it. Where can I pick this up at?

Also, where is the best place to route the tube too? Are there any "rules" as to where it is routed according to exhaust and such?

the blowdown tube must vent outside of the car incase the burst disk ruptures.
nitrous express makes an adapter that comes with burst disk.
i may cut my pipe and clamp a hose instead of drilling a new hole into the car.

You can get the NHRA Pressure Fitting from any of the sponsors, Nitrous Direct, NX both carry NOS parts.

You can run the Earls tube from the Blow Off, and then if needed, attach a hose with a clamp to the tube and route it a body plug. I ran mine down to the spare tire wells body plug. I cut a X in the plug and squeezed the hose thru the X so it help seal as much outside tire smoke etc from getting inside. GL

I was going to either route it out of the spare tire well or make new hole, I didn't know if there were any rules as to a certain distance from exhaust or anything. I know it isn't flammable but just trying to do it the right way.

Thanks for the advise.

BTW, CAT3, what is the 3rd line you have running into the top of you lid? is that another jet?

Frost, rule just states it has to be routed to outside atmosphere, and since the bottle is in the well, it was quick and easy to drop it out the bottom. I left about 3" hose off the end of tube. It clears the exhaust fine. The center line is from one noid to a brass fitting, pinned thru the lid and assmebled to brass "T" There is a jet holder in the line for a single jet, but I run it open as with the 1st stage. This is Koolrayz old setup, and on one stage I went from 11.53 to 10.61. Now I have to wait to get back to the mainland so I can get to an open track.
