hsw plate kit installed here are a couple pics i have so far still in the process of cleaning the install up, but here are a couple of pictures. I just have to drill 3 holes and the install is complete. Car is going on the dyno hopefully thurs or fri and to the track sat
looks good...i just recieved my HSW plate kit aswell.....my question is this, when u (we) mount the bottle in the spare tire spot, the pressure guage faces the other way, how do u check ur pressure?
Just spin it to see the pressure. It looks great! I got my kit from them last year and it was the same damn price as the plate kit was this time around. I shoulda waited, I haven't even used it yet.

Nice set up!
Can you possibly measure how long the lines from the solenoids to the plate are?? Looks like there is plenty & could maybe take a little less.
I am going to use an NX kit that I have, with the HSW plate...
You'll probably want to bolt down the side of the 860 bracket, it is likely to rattle with no bolts through those 2 holes & into the floor. Mine rattled when I had that bracket like that before.

Very nice. A couple of questions. I just recieved the same kit and while looking at it this morning I was wondering if you could just put the solinoids right on the plate and discard the lines from them to the plate? Would there be any disadvantage to doing this? Also I was wondering where and how you routed the feed line from the bottle to the solinoid? Thanks and again it looks great.............
I asked the same question awhile ago about moutning the solenoids on the plate. The answer I got from Matt@HSW is that you should be able to do it, but the inlet side to the solenoid is a different size and thread than the jet holder/fitting that goes into the plate. You'd need to get a conversion fitting and then mount the solenoid. That would cause the solenoids to stick way out from the plate.
I was going to do the same thing, but here's the deal:
You will have a massive lean spike upon the initial hit. There is a reason the the N2O line from the noid to the plate is longer than the fuel line. If they are both directly on the plate there is not a way to get the fuel there at the same time as the N2O.

Here is a link as to what they will look like mounted to the plate itself. This is a dual dry shot plate, but the concept of mounting them will be the same.
Im not sure why you would need a bottom exit solenoid over a side exit, you can obviously see that you can do it from this link

EXTENSIVE testing was down on the hose lengths to eliminate any kind of lean spike. Jmill96z pointed out the varying hose lengths and yes this is the reason for that. 1000psi vs 58 psi, i am sure you can figure out which will get to the plate discharge points the fastest. I dont think it will be a massive lean spike, but you are likely to pick up a small one as a result of each having to the flow the same distance. the one thing on your side is that each distance is very short, hence it wont be that big of a spike

This may sound off the wall or not feasible, but would there be any way to make the fuel noid fire .25 sec before the n2o noid?(I don't know, maybe not a smart idea) I really like the setup with the noids on the plate, but I'm just concerned about the spike.
