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 ****:
Drilling this thing was a pain in the ***, especially with the 2 small holes to run the wiring through. I definitely thought I would screw up my shift ****:
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:
Test fit:
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."
Final result:
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 *****. But I'm still waiting on some 4an lines.
Let me know what you think.

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?

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.
