Default nos plate is horrible for noid locations. suggestions?

Alright…..here is the problem...i bought a nos plate kit and a nitro dave stand alone. Anyways, the stand alone is mounted on the driver side where the battery goes and I have the noid brackets for the pass side head. Well why the hell did nos make the plate that you can only mount your noids on the driver side. For those who have the nos plate you know what im talking about. Where do you mount your noids with the nos plate. I should have never got rid of my nitro dave plate!!! I didn’t want to mix and match my nitrous goodies so I tried to keep it all nos. now ive spent 2 days trying to figure out where to mount the noids and purge. My car seems to have everything on the driver side.

/rant. Does anyone have suggestions for noid locations with the nos plate kit? Yes I have done a search but there isn’t really too much on the nos plate. Remember the noids have to be on the driver side.

What KIND of NOS plate?

On a carb style plate the solenoid brackets are reversable and bendable. If you need to drill 2 more holes in the brackets.

it's really not that hard. all you had to do was a little thinking. There are decisions in life that you will have to make, which are a lot harder than where to mount your solenoids. Why do you need to mount everything on the driver side? If you had read the instructions, all your solenoids would have been on the driveside anyway.. the fuel jet fitting on the plate can be moved to face the other side if you tighten it. this is how i have my NOS plate kit mounted.. and LOOK, i even fit my purge solenoid in there!

All 3 of mine are on the passenger head. Run the fuel feed line to the noid under the TB and from the Noids to the plate over. Worked out just fine.

are you guys liking these plates? I've had 3 NOS plates give alot of trouble on the dyno already. One kit was a 3 bolt TB LS1 and the other two where 90mm plate kits. Same thing on both, hit real lean and studder.. Two flat out wouldn't get the fuels in (about 14:1 AFR) NOS told us theres some defects and to drill it out. We did that and they would be 11-12 for half the run and 10 or less the other half. At this point I'd never reccomend one of those kits to anyone.

Have you watched it with a wideband? All of them have been lean or had bad lean spikes when htey hit. The NOS tech line told us in 2 different cases that you have to go back and drill the fuel side because theres a flaw in manufactuering that doesn't allow the two holes to match up cleanly.

That looks really good. Do you happen to have anymore pics of how you mounted the noids? I would like to change mine and get the fuel noid closer to the fuel rail to limit the travel.
