2.4 Nitrous Bottle Installation
After you have determined the location and orientation of the nitrous bottle, use the following procedure to install the bottle:
2.4.1 Street Car Installations
1. Disconnect vehicle’s battery.
2. Determine the location of the bottle within the confines of the rear of the vehicle.
3. Once a mounting location has been determined, raise the vehicle (following all safety practices involved in working on a
vehicle from under the vehicle) and verify that there are no fuel lines, fuel tank(s), brake lines, emissions equipment, or
structural members in the way of potential mounting bolt locations.
Note:
It may be necessary to remove the fuel tank depending on the location where you install the bottle.
4. Install the rubber insulators within the bottle brackets.
5. Slip bottle into the mounting brackets.
6. Using the mounting bracket bolt holes as templates, mark an area for each of the brackets with chalk, metal marking
pen, scribe, or marking pen to locate the bolt placements for drilling.
7. Wearing your safety glasses, drill two (2) 3/8” mounting holes for each bracket.
8. If heater blanket is used, brackets must be installed 8 1/2 inches apart from each other.
9. Install the bottle mounting brackets using “Grade 8” bolts, nuts and flat washers (not included with kit). Use fender
washer underneath the vehicle for sheet metal mounting.
10. Tighten the mounting bolts using a thread locking compound (not included with kit).
11. Mock up Safety Blowdown tube on bottle to find where tube will go through floor.
12. Mark floor where tube appears it will go.
13. Wearing your safety glasses, use a 1/2” drill bit and drill through floor on mark.
14. Install Safety Blowdown tube on bottle and cut off excess tube so that only 1 to 2 inches are protruding below floor.
Shown here is a bottle with a bottle bracket properly installed with the rubber
insulator. The distance between the bottle brackets is somewhat adjustable.
Remember, mount the short bottle bracket at least 1” from the bottom of the
bottle, and never cover any of the bottle label with a bottle bracket.
Do not attempt to install the bottle in the bracket without the rubber insulator.
The bottle hoop on the bracket is designed to include the thickness of the
insulator.
