HackAbuse's NAWZZ Setup
Alright, I think I've got everything squared away as far as stealth goes for the bottle and buttons.
I have Decided NOT to get a bottle heater. After a lot of research I have learned that even with a 400 watt heater, the bottle takes almost an hour to change temp from 60-100 degrees, when 97degrees is optimum temperature.
So I revamped my entire thinking process.
I wrapped the bottle with an oversize 50 watt heating pad, then I bound it with a rope to put pressure on the heating pad. After that I slipped on my NOS Bottle Blanket, then wrapped that in a small cotton blanket and stuffed it all in a large backpack.
The result - A super insulated, easy to carry, easy to hide bottle.
Every night when I get home, I unhook the bottle, carry it into my apartment and plug it into the wall. When I wake up in the morning, I unplug, then hook it back up in the back seat of my car. The bottle is so well insulated that I can leave it in the car all day during 30 degree weather, and when I get home, it's still warm to the touch!
Triple Insulated:
Gettin toasty for the next day of action:
The bottle Hookup:
Inconspicuously Sitting in the backseat:
I ordered DynoTune's Dual Purge kit so now I needed to wire a firing button for that. I figured I'd wire a new button for the nitrous firing button too while i was at it.
I considered my options, and I decided to mount them between the radio and HVAC controls. I put one pushbutton on each side (Nitrous on left, Purge on right) and a bright red LED in the middle so I know when the arming switch has been activated. (The amring switch is a big red rocker switch down by the E-brake. The Result:
Awaiting action:
Armed in the light:
Armed in the dark:
Now all I need to do is a complete "NAWZZ" tuck.
The solenoids in the engine bay will be moved directly above the radiator fans, underneath that lip. Then, the spray nozzle will be moved to the bottom side of the intake.
Lastly, All visible steel braided lines will be covered with appropriately sized vacuum tubing to make the nitrous system COMPLETELY invisible to someone who doesnt know cobalts very well.
On another note, I took my car to my hometown today to get an oil change done. I watched the guy pull it in and pop the hood and immediately his eyes grew wide as he trotted off to tell others.
Within 5 minutes pretty much everyone working there was crowded around the engine bay pointing and smiling, haha it was pretty funny.

I'd put it in the trunk, but I can't access the bottle valve as easily, I only turn it on when I'm using it, at any other time, it's off.

Blow down tube? Most tracks won't let you run without one. Plus when the track inspects your car, they are going to look at that and laugh, as they tell you to leave.

You guys are way too worried about his setup. I run my bottle behind the drivers seat, and its not going anywhere like that. Also, laying it over towards the console puts it at the right angle, I can see my gauge and reach the valve. Win-Win to me. The backpack idea is sweet! Props for the originality.

I don't understand how that's unsafe.
Yes, if in some unexplainable event the bottle was to get over pressurized, the burst disk goes off, and I pull over and let the car air out
