2.5 Nitrous Feed Line Mounting
1. Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line too close
to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires.
2. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle.
3. Feed nitrous line along proposed route.
4. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle.
Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive. Shield painted components or sensitive
system components like electrical, fuel lines, brake lines or suspension components to prevent them from contacting main
feed line. Rubber hose can be slid over and retained as a chafe guard.
5. Leave nitrous line loose pending installation of nitrous solenoid.
2.6 Solenoid Mounting
Use the following procedures to install the Performer nitrous solenoids:
Note: Remember to use Teflon paste only on pipe threads. Do not use Teflon tape.
Hint: Placement of the solenoid is often limited by the lack of possible mounting locations in the engine compartment.
However, if possible, observe the following suggestions:
Solenoid Safety Information
1. Keep solenoid and lines away from exhaust components.
2. Trial fit the solenoids with all lines attached to ensure a proper fit.
3. Solenoids may be mounted sideways or upside-down, if necessary.
2.6.1 Preparing To Mount Your Solenoids
1. Locate the EFI solenoid bracket, solenoid “tee”, and solenoid mounting screws.
2. This solenoid bracket can be modified (bent, twisted and/or cut) to allow for easier installation in areas with
minimal clearance . Please look at the photo on the next page of a typical solenoid mounting location, and adapt
your bracket according to the needs of your particular application.
2.6.2 Nitrous Solenoids Mounting
1. Hold one of the nitrous solenoids securely (like in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid or block
the inlet or outlet of the solenoid.
2. Install nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/8 NPT) using liquid Teflon, in the inlet port of the nitrous solenoid.
3. Install one of the 1/8 NPT male sides of solenoid "tee", using liquid Teflon, on the outlet port of the nitrous
solenoid. The female port of solenoid "tee" should be facing outward.
4. Install the remaining 1/8 NPT male end of the solenoid "tee", using liquid Teflon, into the inlet port of the second
nitrous solenoid. Rotate second solenoid so that it parallels the first.
5. Install the 3AN Flare Tee (blue “T” shaped fitting) into the outlet port of second nitrous solenoid.
6. Using liquid Teflon, install 1/8 NPT pipe plug into remaining opening of solenoid " tee ".
a. Remove nitrous solenoid assembly from vise.
b. Attach EFI solenoid bracket to the bottom of the solenoids.
c. Verify the desired mounting location for the solenoid assembly.
