The location of my Solenoids is rather sneeky and is 100% Hidden from view.

This location is under the driver side headlight.
I have since wire loomed the lines and protected them but forgot to take a picture.

Took a couple pictures of the 2nd hidden arm switch.
Don't want anyone else who might be driving my car to be spraying. What they don't know won't hurt them.
The push button and LED is for my Wideband LC-1 (Reset, Calibration, Status, etc.)
This is also the future location of the Bottle Opener and Heater Switches.

This is the Flexible Blow Down Tube I put together. It comes out of the trunk next to the battery.

I installed the ZZP Throttle Body Spacer and it was a pain.
I had to move my K&N Intake about 1/2 inch towards the drivers side of the car using washers under the bracket. This did make the fittment much better than it was before and now I have no rubbing on the PCM. :)
I also had to file some of the intake tube down by the throttle body for a smoother transition.
I was disappointed where ZZP choose to tap the spacer (Top and Front), I was hoping to go on the bottom.

Trifecta Tuning this weekend, Dyno on the 22nd and Track Day on the 25th along with Videos!
I'm going with the 50 Shot, I also have 42's, 2.8 pulley, GM Cat back, Dual Pass w/ Option B, Intake. Should be a fun car!

Cool beans. If you have any questions i'll try to help out. :)

NX kits are fun, are they the monster solenoids?

Not sure, it's the black, one piece unit that holds both solenoids.


Anyway, where are you guys purging at?
I'm debating about purging through the hole above each fog light (Dual) or just a single by the winshield.

Awesome sir. Good choice on that kit. The box makes for a pretty clean and easy install. Let me know if you need a hand.

Waiting on the videos as well.

They are definitely coming!
But, I won't be getting the tune for another month and then I will be in California for a week. So don't hold your breathe until September.

Clever hiding spot under the cups, but wouldn't that be akward to reach in their for the push button while trying to drive?

you got a pressure gauge? curious how much longer it takes to build pressure both initially and after a shot with that 15lb bottle.

Dont forget to use your purge! I had a brand new bottle and since the line were empty when i hit it (this is my best guess anyways) it only sprayed fuel until the n20 hit and backfired. Lesson learned! Still don't have a purge and havent used it since but when i do again i'll just do a quick purge into the intake before i start the car when i plan to use it.

Anyways, I've learned a lot about using nitrous since i installed my kit, let me know if you have any questions.

Yes, but my arming switch and purge push button are under the steering column, Hidden but very reachable.

The switches under the cup holder are for my Wideband (Calibration, etc.) and eventually my heater and opener. The key switch under the cups is only needed for when others drive my car. No N2O for them, sorry.

Thanks for the comments!

That key on switch is awesome. I like the way its hidden.
