Nitrous plumbing A1A...??..
I did some re-plumbing and new solenoids on my crossbar setup this weekend. Since this thread popped up again, figured i'd give you guys a peek behind the curtain.
Bored/ported small body nitrous solenoids. No nitrous jets at all, orifices in the solenoids themselves serve as the jets. About 450hp worth of total jet area when the bottle is up to temp. But I don't like waiting for a bottle heater if things get spontaneous, so the system uses a dial style fuel pressure regulator which allows me to quickly adjust fuel flow for bottle temp. Fuel side has a restricted return line that goes back to the tank...
The fuel sides have jets, but they are Holley jets that have had their threads turned down to be a slight press fit into the pipe nipples that attach the fuel solenoids to the plate...
Yep, that's an old Weber 625 Carter clone. The carb doesn't need to be big when a large percentage of the overall mixture comes in below the throttle body. Blows people's minds when I pull the air cleaner top off to fake a metering rod change...
Here's a pic of my extreme drop base that i made to hide the nitrous system in plain sight. Basically cut the outer base section off and added a ring section to lower the element. Had to make a special throttle cable bracket that comes up at a steeper angle...
The finished install doesn't really scream nitrous, just a little no compression pump gas 355 that cranks about 100psi on the starter...
