Really?

im all for N2O, but mounting your bottle to a block of wood is ghetto. make a mount so you can attach it to the floor of the hatch, or anything other than a stupid slab of wood......

That's a really clean setup! I like it a lot. I've been figuring the pricing for my own kit, but a shop recently quoted me at $750 for install

I don't think the DIY approach will work for me, I'm not inept when it comes to mechanics, but a toasted motor isn't worth the saved cash in the long run.

I don't see a reason why I can't? I won't spray though until after the tune.

Don't be afraid to DIY. The zex and the dynotune comes with good instruction. Hardest part of the installation is figuring out where you want to mount everything.

Good luck with your system! I didn't know that it cost over a g to go with laughing gas. I'm interested in how it turns out also.

The kit itself, is just above 700. You can piece a kit for cheaper but I wanted it all the same. Also adding in the other items is what bumped the cost up, I just wanted to be safe and secure when doing this.

Default Update Day 3 of install.

Okay guys we finally finished. The blow down tube did become an issue but I ended up getting some copper tubing and everything is a go now. The new switch that I installed is for the bottle heater. Any questions feel free to ask. Thank you all for the positive support. Question to those of you out there that are running nitrous though. I know I have asked several of you about upgrading the spark plugs. I have yet to install them b/c well will our cars run fine on them even though I am not spraying all the time? The research that I have done on our plugs is they are pretty cold already. Input is greatly appreciated.
