Before I finish wiring the kit, I'd like some opinions on this. I have the dual fan nozzles mounted on the open element K&N FIPK and directed toward each other. My concern is... being that it's an open element filter, how much nitrous will be lost before being sucked in by the MAF. I have 125 jets in it now but before spraying, I'll start with the 75s on a wideband dyno.
The first image is one of the fan nozzles.

I think that will work nicely as long as the nozzles are pointing towards Centerline.
I bench flowed those nozzles in a blackwing application heres a vid.

I think your pattern will collide right in front of the opening and every bit will get sucked in under WOT conditions.
Post a dyno with AFR if you can.

Well from my experiance, having the nozzles so far from the MAF and aimed at each other, you will likely at the minimum see a lean spike or condition for some time. Then progressively catch up. what happens in the open air box, you create a sort of null area where the streams meet, and this along with the fact that the air cleaner is pulling air from everywhere besides the bottom of the box, it takes some time for velocity to get high enough to really pull the mix up to the MAF wire for a good reading.
If you must use this location, it may be benifical to cut the deflectors off the nozzles and turn them into straight shooters. The MAF will see a much better and quicker cold stream, for a non lean spiking run, or to at least minimize spike.
I have nozzles similar, and a location (both like Beers) in the neck of the CAI. Why does this work better? It's at a point of air stream collection that will offer max velocity at all rpm ranges, and thus a much quicker/denser reading, and absolutely no lean spike. Plus they are more angled from the get go towards the MAf, (no 90* turning that needs to be done by air flow/vacuum).
Now with all that said, there is no absolutes, so you will just have to try things out and see. Keep us updated though.

Thanks for the information, guys. Excellent vid, Beer. That raises my confidence. It seems the streams will collide right where I need them to.
Rob, I understand what your're saying and can see why directing them at the MAF would be a better stream, I'm just concerned that too good of a stream will freeze the MAFS. That's why I spent the extra $$$ on these fan nozzles.
I have the window switch set to engage at 3100. At WOT and this RPM, shouldn't I have a pretty decent air velocity prior to nitrous engaging?

As for intitial velocity, I doubt it as an open filter pulls equally from every square inch, so the max velocity will be seen in the neck where all the air comes together. Actually it's like the "Venturi Effect", where the air in a carb gets chocked down in the venturi; this will speed it up and increase velocity. Air flow will take the path of least resistance to get into manifold ie: air path closet to MAF/throttle body.
Now with all said, you may be ok, but likely will see a lean spike at a minimum. As long as this doesn't last more than a second it will do no harm, as long as it's not to great and you don't mind. But if it's lasting to long or is very lean you may want to consider some of the options suggested.

We put my single nozzle set-up in the neck and it froze my maf. i couldn't figure out what was up. Then i relocated it above the filter and it hit hard. Im not an expert but this was my experience.

I have the FIPK. Mounted my dual nozzles on the outside element first however got a lean spike and was difficult to get it richer. I moved them inside, and after a few itterations, ended up about 4.5" away from the maf as shown below. You can see the f'd up mesh on the side from first install.

If not what were your syptoms of the freezing MAF?
By the way, there is a reason that we can freeze the screen on dry hits and sub artic like alaska cold will not freeze the screen, ie: humidity.

I used the tape a few threads above the ends. There's no way it could possibly get in there to clog the noid. I refuse to use the paste for two reasons... 1) it doesn't seal half as well; 2) I once had a few pieces break away inside of my purge leaving it stuck open. That stuff is a mess and impossible to clean out if you ever need to take something apart.
