Default Wanting to clean up engine bay....solenoid placement suggestions needed.

The nitrous kit "works" great. It's just not the most appeasing to the eyes. I'm wanting to clean it up a bit. I don't have a problem getting shorter lines (which is better anyways) either. I'm not looking for it to be hidden (although, that's fine too) because the bottle between the back seats kinda gives it away. Here's what I've got now.....any suggestions would be appreciated. PLEASE post pictures of your set-ups.

There's a lot of options. I went with this: http://www.harrisspeedworks.com/shop...cat=372&page=1

It looks good but the symmetry goes away once the purge gets added.

I have the HSW throttle body bracket and I like the way it looks. It looks a bit empty without a fuel solenoid but yours should fill it out nicely. Other than that I just put black loom around all of the wires.

i put my battery in the trunk of my T/A and mounted the solenoids in its place up front, hidden under a custom battery cover that i made

sheetmetal, black spraypaint, and a little time. I used cardboard for a template


all lines, purge and N20 & fuel solenoids are hidden pretty good.

98TADriver, why does your IAT sensor wiring go so far out and around?

Black widow, huh?

I've looked at the DP systems, very nice, but not in my price range. I want to clean up the bay without breaking the bank.

I have my noids on brackets but i dont really like the way its setup right now. Have you had any trouble with the noid being zip tied? I might just toss the bracket and zip tie it where i want it.

i've had no problems at all. just keep in mind that the noid is going to want to jump when it opens. i have the zip tie holding onto the noid when the fitting meets the noid, then it attaches to that ac line directly underneath it. the steel braided lines help to keep it from sliding up the ac line.
