I cant seem to find how to run the line from under the hood onto my pressure guage. where do I drill? any ideas on how to? im in the middle of the install right now.

 

Run it through the hood release boot which is in the driver side wheel well. Just remove the covering in the wheel well and push it through. The same place that you would run an amplifier power wire. Are you going to run a nitrous line into the cabin into the back of a mechanical gauge? I remember reading here on the .org about someone who did that and the gauge line exploded or something and sprayed him with nitrous. I highly discourage running anything for a mechanical gauge into the cabin.

yes. I also read that post before too. I dont remember the details but it may be that he didnt use the restrictor fitting on the solenoid manifold which slows the flow of nitrous so if it does leak, it wont blow off, it will just leak

 

it should be safe, otherwise autometer wouldnt be too rich right now....
I'm just not too fond of the idea of 1100 psi of nitrous pointed at your face...

 

I am not big on running a nitrous line inside the cabin, esp to the pillar.

I know Autometer mades a electronic nitrous pressure gauge. That would be a safer route and easier to route.

 

You need to drill a hole in the firewall that's big enough to fit a 8AN line. Run it by the driveside kickpanel and up to the a pillar. It's tight but it can be done because I've done it.

 

humm nitrous pointed at my face..not too comforting. id gothe electronic route.

 

Chris Rado likes his Nitrous and Gasoline up close and personal. But he is a professional. Its also pointed at the back of his head not his face.
