With the line routing handled, it's time to mount the bottle in the trunk. Mark the location of the holes in the bottle mounting brackets. Be sure to check underneath the car for exit locations so that you don't drill into something for an unwanted surprise (brake lines, wiring, fuel tank, and so forth).

With the nitrous oxide jet in place, the solenoid can now be installed. The fittings were secured using the correct AN wrenches to prevent damage to the fittings (an adjustable wrench covered in tape will work in a pinch -Ed.).

Only two fasteners need to be removed to free the pressure sensor. Have a rag handy because there will be a small amount of fuel spilled.

This fuel adapter block is from the GMS kit. Here, we install the AN fitting for the additional fuel line. There is another port on the backside of the block that we won't be using, and it was fitted with an AN plug.

The length of AN fuel line is routed to the fuel solenoid and attached. The solenoid can be rotated to clear any obstacles and tightened in that position. Now, except for the wiring, we're ready to go.

Install the relay on the inner fender near the main fuse box and complete the wiring connections according to the instructions. Try to situate the window switch inside the car to protect it from the elements. Set the window switch to the desired rpm parameters according to the detailed instructions, and you're ready to get the bottle filled.
