Default Purge guys come inside!

The purge kit I have doesn't have an exit line long enough to purge out of the engine bay. The kit just had this 12" long solid metal tubing that exits the silinoid.

Shat did you guys do to get the purge to exit your car? Can anyone post any pics for me?

And lastly, I have the lightning noids and they have an exit on the bottom and side! I'm not sure which exactly is the exit for the purge.........my fuel and nitrous noids are the same! I was assuming they all exited on the bottom and I was to plug the side ports on all the noids. Is that correct?

Thanks

Jon,
You are correct. All the NX solenoids exit out of the bottom. You will plug the side port not used. AS far as the purge line. We sell sticks of hardline up to 3ft long. Or you can go by your local parts store and get 3/16 brake line. Or you can take the piece supplied with the system and cut it in half and run vacume hose connecting both ends of hardline.

WE are working on a solution to being able to ship a hardkine style tubing that is easy to work with for the guys running purges. I think we have found a winner but I need alittle more time.

That sounds like a great Idea!

I think I'll take your advice and go get some 2/16 brake line. But what do you recommend I do to have the exit set up at the window?

Should I cut the solid metal piece that came with the purge kit in half and use one half from the noid and the other half to mount to the window? I could run the brake line inbetween........

Or do you got a better plan/advice??

2/16 would be a 1/8.. 3/16 is what you are looking for.

Cool!

But for information's sake and to help me get my purge hooked up, what did you do initially to get it working?

It almost looks like fish tank tubing or something like that.

my kit came ready to work man , the only thing I bought was that brake line that they told you in this thread, was 20" long so I just cut it and there. What kit do you have, do you have a link? and what is exactly what you need after reading what they said here?

You can use, poly line, copper line, brake line, SS line and/or SS braided line. What I personaly use is braided through the engine bay, then to poly when the bends get complicated. I would never rice my vette by splicing in a piece of vacuum hose. Use the good stuff and the correct fittings that are worthy of a Corvette. I have what ya need in the garage when ya come over (trick braided all the way).

At one time I used the braided line with a T-adapter at the end, with 10" of refridgerator line curling up. Now i still have the T-adapter but I'm useing The plastic line from lowes used to run water to your ice maker. this way is more flexible and I ran it out of the Nostriles, rater than under them. My avatar shows the old way shooting up.

i used 1/8 copper tubing, it works perfectly, and wasnt expensive.
i pieced together a Tee fitting for it, because apparently Tee fittings with 4an, 1/8 compression, 1/8 compression are really rare!

Thanks again Robert! I think I'm just going to do what you suggested. I'm going to hit nitro daves home page or nitrous outlets homepage and get me a nice purge cap like you mentioned.

I'm also going to get a longer bottle releif tube so I can vent the bottle out of the rear.........but I still want the speaker box to fit so I may have to play with it.

go to any autozone, advance auto, or any thing similiar and get cooper tubing for an oil pressure gauge. It cost me $4 and its 5 ft long. So I could have run my purge any where i wanted.

Well I got the line routed now! So I just need to get a nice end fitting that will look nice and professional.

Then this project should be complete!............for a while.
