2.6 Nitrous Solenoid Mounting and Installation
1. Hold the nitroous solenoid securely (like in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid or
block the inlet outlet of the solenoid.
2. Install nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/4 NPT) using liquid Teflon in the inlet port of the
nitrous solenoid.
3. Install 4AN X 1/8 NPT (Blue straight fitting) using liquid Teflon in the outlet port of the nitrous
solenoid.
i. Remove nitrous solenoid assembly from vise.
ii. Attach solenoid-mounting bracket to the bottom of nitrous solenoid.
iii. Verify desired mounting location for nitrous solenoid.
4. Install nitrous solenoid. If solenoid-mounting location is difficult to access, leave solenoid loose so
the solenoid inlet and outlet port can be easily accessed.
5. Leave wires loose for electrical system installation.
6. Attach nitrous feed line to solenoid. (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/4 NPT)
Pictured here is the Performer RPM solenoid mounted on an Edelbrock
intake manifold using a modified solenoid bracket. The modifications
performed to a solenoid bracket depend on many factors. The
considerations of solenoid placement are the same for both Nitrous and
Fuel. The modifications to the solenoid bracket pictured is just an
example. The modifications for all system brackets will be different per
your application.
The line length between the Performer RPM fuel solenoid and the jet fitting
on the injection plate is 8 inches. The line length between the Performer
RPM nitrous solenoid and the jet fitting on the injection plate is 12 inches.
Other factors or components that could potentially interfere with solenoid
placement are:
*Water neck/thermostat housings
*Water fittings
*Distributor housing
*Vacuum advance canister
*Air filter housing
*Throttle linkage passageways
*Valve covers and valve cover fasteners
*EGR passageways
