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 Preparations
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.
Preparing To Mount Your Solenoids
1. Locate the universal solenoid mounting brackets and solenoid mounting screws.
2. These solenoid brackets can be modified to clear almost any potential interference in the engine compartment. Please
look at the pictures or potential solenoid mounting locations and adapt your brackets according to the needs of your
particular application.
Pictured here is an unmodified Performer solenoid
bracket with a modified bracket with solenoid
attached, ready for installation in the engine
compartment.
The modifications can be performer by clamping the
solenoid bracket in a bench vise, or by using wide
jaw pliers.
