Got nitrous? Where shall i mount the bottle

[ibiza_95]

Out of the two locations pictured below which of the two would you say looks the best?

Theres the first one, which is along the length of the car, it doesnt fit between the cage and the rear of the car however, and so the valve has to go on the other side of the cage which im not sure about.

Then theres this one which is on an angle. I had visioned it being like the first one but i think it looks a bit cramped so was then swaying towards the angle.

Cant really decide. So what do you think?

how about horizontal ? left to right ?

 

[ibiza_95]

not keen on the left to right idea
it all depends on the position of the siphon tube aswell... got to try get that right at the back of the bottle in the middle. This could be fun

 

[Fl@pper]

angle looks tidier and less restricted valve wise to be honest

 

[ibiza_95]

yea i think angle was the best idea

mounted it that way anyways
now just got to figure out how to make it look neat in the engine bay

 

[Fl@pper]

whats sort of jet system are you running ??/

 

[UncleFester]

Left to right and at least then if the lid pops off ... it goes out the car and not through you?

 

[ibiza_95]

its got a release valve should the bottle pressure go way to high, not aimed at me or the passenger

im running it as a wet system through the intake via a fogger, not direct port, just a single entry into the inlet stream, shouldnt be running more than about 30/40bhp jets

sounds like fun, tidy it away underneath then i guess, at least if you remove it you can hide the cover/seal afterwards

anywhere solid you could tap/drill a fitting hole ?

everytime i see a turbo manifold or turbo for sale i remind myself - sod it just get some gas

 

[ibiza_95]

well ive never actually used nitrous yet, so itll be interesting to see what happens with it lol...
ive got a charge pipe just before the throttle body and the instructions say to mount 6-12'' from the TB... my only concern is that there is a bend at about 6'' away and id preferably like it to be before the bend, ie: firing straight into the manifold, if i do this however, it means mounting it in a silicon hose, not the end of the day but not sure how well itll work, thats a job for tomorrow anyway, planning all that, need to get a stainless bracket made for the actuators too

under boost pressure would it make much difference anyway the nozzle runs at a right angle already? mind you cleanest flow the better as always - neater then
