Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Well its been a while since I did a writeup on anything so here we go. I had some time and I wanted to finish my nitrous setup since the track is opening soon. I wanted to mount my gauge, switches and I also needed a momentary button.

This is what I started with:

The first thing I wanted was that the light to go on when I opened up the cover. I thought it would be gay to tie in the lighting to my gauge lights becuase than at night you would see my ash tray glowing. :-\ So I used a rocker switch from radio shack and had it activate when the lid was opened. Here's the switch in the closed/on position:

When its open/off

Since I don't have slicks and 4:10's spraying in first and second would be a waste. I don't like window switches since IMO they have too many problems so I wanted a momentary button. I drilled and resesed my stock shift knob:

Drilling this thing was a pain in the ass, especially with the 2 small holes to run the wiring through. I definitely thought I would screw up my shift knob:

Didn't turn out too bad. I wish I could get rib of the H pattern so I could blend it in a little better but I don't think it turned out too bad:

As for the gauge and switches I made a templet and cut out a piece of aluminum:

And for the final touch a constant reminder of the golden nitrous analogy; "Nitrous is like the hot chick with STD's, don't hit it unless you can deal with the consequences." ;)

Nice and stealthy:

Here's the bottles, too bad I'm probably trading one of them for a turbo:

Under the hood is nothing special but its still not done yet. I'm going to try and mount everything so you can't see it that way tech can't bust my balls. But I'm still waiting on some 4an lines.


Let me know what you think. :6

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

The license plate frame gives it away! Nice install.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

looks pretty bad ass ;D

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I don't normally like Mustangs, but yours is the sex. I love clean installs, man this motivates me to start on my crap :y

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

i like it...nice template lol

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Good stuff always been a nitrous fan. Direct port kit?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

wow, what a good idea. genious.....gets me thinking.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Yeah but my license plate is all bent up and the car looks like ---- without it. And besides how often do you read license plate frames?


Was a direct port: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1553371 ;)

I'm using the solenoids and everything off my old direct port and now its just a single fogger on the Mustang. Thats why I'm waiting on some lines to finish it.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

nice, looking good

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Looks good man, that template came out tits, wish I had aluminum stock just laying around, Id be making ---- like this all the time

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I like how simple and clean the finished product turned out. For a super stealthy look you should paint or use a permanent marker to make the button on your shifter black

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

i love it! gives me ideas on how to make gauge pods on the 4 door. what did you use to gut the aluminum?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

solid work ------

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I gotta say, that is one clean install. Especially like the STD ridden reminder :)

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Nice n stanky, I like it.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Clean and smooth. I LOVE it. :y The quote is pretty funny too. LOL. The picture behind it is GREAT!!! I LOVE the idea. Looks good. The shifter isn't bad just; I KNOW I'd be hitting that on accident and what not. Kind of gay to me to have it in. Looks ricer to me. :-\ To each their own. :y

He has to arm the system before the button on the shift knob will do anything.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I guarantee you have a scrap metal yard around you. Go there and buy scrap. Since they sell it by the pound you can get it for dirt cheap. I bought a 2x7ft piece of mirrored polished aluminum for like $10.00 It even had the blue protectve stuff on the polished side.


Yeah but the paint would eventually come off and look like ----. Since its a Mustang its never going to be a sleeper since everyone assumes a loud Mustang is fast. I just wanted something nice. Like I've always said having a nice clean interior is one of my pet peeves.


I just used my portaband and drill press. I did spend some time shaping it with my grinder and file. I was going to use really thin steel but I'm glad I didn't since aluminum is so nice to work with. The piece I used is actually diamond plate, I had to grind the diamonds off the other side. :8


With the way I shift I'm not going to hit it accidentally. And even so I took it into consideration. Here's the wiring diagram:

http://www.hmt-tv.com/hmt/matt/Mustang/DSC00797.JPG


Its tough to see but you need to first arm the system with the toggle switch, than it has a WOT switch so it won't spray part throttle and than the push button. So its a pretty safe system. I also don't understand what you think is ricey. :-\


Thanks for the compliments guys. :y

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Very nice install... very clean. Are you going to hide it all under the hood too????

Joe

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Thanks Whitey and Jon, I see now. Still, (for me atleast) the button would be hard to control if choosen that route vs. the WOT way. I apologize for the rice comment, but my reasoning: The automatic stick shifters with the button on top, and the fact that it's open and kind of like the F&F where you hit the button to spray rather than it being WOT instead. It's clean and I agree to mold it in would be ALOT cleaner and get rid of the shift pattern, but just looks like a fighter pilot joystick. :-\ No doubt its done well and it IS your car and not mine so I'm glad you like it. :y What's the purpose to partial spray? So it won't hit all at once? Buddy's is hooked up to V-TAK not sure if it has to be WOT or not.

EDIT: 1) Toggle arms it 2) WOT arms it again 3) Push button sprays it Correct?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Looks tits, nice install. How much are you gonna be spraying? 100 shot?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

toggle arms, wot active's the power to button, when button is pressed, hold on!! :y

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I don't build show cars, the button isn't there to look cool, if you think its ricey or gay more power to you I don't care. Nowadays everything is considered rice anyway. The button is there becuase with 4:10's and nitrous there will be no traction is 1st and 2nd so its the best way to control the spray without a $500 nitrous controller. Its there for a purpose

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Looks great.That is a great way to hook it up nice and stealthy.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

what does no traction in 1st or 2nd have to do with button placement?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Word. I understand thank you. The shifter is an EXCELLENT spot for it, just isn't MY first choice and to be honest it is VERY functional there. Don't have to go from shifting to pushing buttons to shifting and stuff.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I like the buttone on the shifter but I hate the stock shifters in those mustangs.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I won't be spraying it in first or probably halfway through second so the button is so I can manually activate it when I want.


I have a steeda Tri-Ax shifter

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

that install's ------- sick. i love it! :y

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

i want to something similar to that if i ever go nitrous. i really don't care for the kits that only use a WOT switch. i would just like to have more control over when it sprays.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

you know the WOT stitch is just a switch you can take it out and wire any typr of switch you want in there

ooh and clean ass install whitey

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Solid work. I like the picture of the broad :D

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

simple and legit! need i say more?

NEUMAN

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

haha someone called whitey a ricer... :1

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

yeah those stock looking mustangs are a dead giveaway huh?

NEUMAN

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Wow...that is just sick >:D What size shot are you going to be running? Stock block?

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I love the set-up idea, but like Samson, I don't think it looks right. The button is kind of sticking out, and looks out of place.

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

I don't see why you all are so worried about the button? All I would do is mabye take a sharpie to it..lol

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

Yeah but the paint would eventually come off and look like ----. Since its a Mustang its never going to be a sleeper since everyone assumes a loud Mustang is slow. I just wanted something nice. Like I've always said having a nice clean interior is one of my pet peeves.


haha jk, although most domestics around here fake the funk, exhaust and intake and they think theyre a rocket ship, but the again, the imports think a wing will make them faster so eh whatever

Re: Whitey's Nitrous Install.
 

------- nice work man.
