Has anyone got a number for tweeqd automotive? Cant find one. PM'd him on here but too impatient ha

DusheR · 10th July 2009, 00:05

maddison where did you mount your solenoids?

adzvtr · 10th July 2009, 01:28

if i remember rightly his are mounted on the left hand side of the inlet manifold.
mounted mine in the right hand scuttle bay, but anywhere close to the inlet is gd

maddison_vts · 10th July 2009, 01:47

as adz said, mine are mounted to the left of the inlet. doesn't really matter where they are mounted though imo, ideally you just need to keep the nitrous line as short as possible.

longer line = less power

Mount it in the glovebox

I have seen an installation, with the actual bottle in the engine bay!

Dangerous if you ask me.

hmm just because I have read that they need to be mounted in the coolest place posible. Next to the firewall is one of the hottest supposingly. Thats where I was planning to put mine though.

VtsTom · 10th July 2009, 10:14

Had mine in the scuttle.

Never had a problem with them. Nice to have them out of the way and not taking up room and clutter in the bay.

Had my jet in the back of an airfilter.

i read that too, from what i've read and seen the best place to mount them would be in the scuttle like the pics above, but it will work wherever you mount them, obviously the better places will achieve the best possible results.

DusheR · 10th July 2009, 17:06

Would it be ok to still have my bonnet spacers when they have been fitted?

maddison_vts · 10th July 2009, 17:26

i don't see why not, it doesn't matter if they get a little wet, as long as they aren't submerged i can't see there being an issue.

DusheR · 10th July 2009, 17:49

Rock on. Ive been tempted to bid on this as tweeqd isnt getting back to me:

Dude, one thing i will say is that you may want to invest in a bottle warmer. Last alot longer and alot better results.

I pikied it up with a blow torch at times, that or a hot water bottle

Ha cheers yeh Ive heard its good for increasing the power aswell. Im going to hopefully get the full setup in time, progressive controller etc. Beauty of it it can be moved car to car.

adzvtr · 10th July 2009, 20:12

my bonnet is raised, have no problems with the solenoids, warming the bottle doesnt really make to much difference as have tried this my self, but will make minimal differance if using on strips and tracks, wouldnt really worry about it otherwise

£315 was a very good price to be fair.

bottle warmers, something that has been said to me on a few occasions but i've never done it because of how expensive a genuine WON one is, apparantly its worth it though.

DusheR · 11th July 2009, 14:57

Cheers for all your comments. Im waiting on my credit card coming (9 months 0% wooo I smell VTS engine + WON) I have a few questions:

Where would I run the Nitrous feed line. Inside, outside? Right or left hand side?

I have a raceland induction kit, where would I mount the jets? I know that the closer to the throttle body the better.

Im planning on having 2 pillar gauges, oil and nitrous pressure. Anyone know any good white faced gauges?

VtsTom · 11th July 2009, 15:13

Auto Metre gauges from the states are awesome. But bloody expensive

You will have to drill a hole in the inlet pipe of your filter. I had my jets about 4-5" from the tb its self.

Nitrous feed line ran from my boot, under the carpet, under the dash and out through a grommet in the scuttle iirc. WON kits have hard plastic lines, much better than braided ones. Try not to kink it, will have detromentle effects.

Possibly a safe bet getting a WON person to fit it for you. At least then you know its all 100%.

You might want to look into remote bottle openers. Stopping to get in your boot to open the valve was a massive pain in the arse.

Also, do you know where your local N2o supplier is? I had to travel 15 miles each time which added to the cost alot

adzvtr · 11th July 2009, 15:14

ran my nitrous line down the left hand side found a grommet the line can go through mount the jets in the scuttle, with the fogger in the alloy piping of the raceland, i think that is thsame induction as maddison, which i think is better standard of intake piping than mine

DusheR · 11th July 2009, 16:53

tweeqd has been in touch. Might be getting his kit

someone is ment to be buying it tomorrow but if they dont Im getting it. I hope they dont haha.

I pretty confident that me and a mate could fit it. Im a plumber myself so pipes are my speciality ha. But once everything is plumbed in Im assuming it will need setup? Like to give the best nitrous/fuel ratio?

Do you think drilling and tapping into the raceland piping will be good enough? Bit of lock tight and some silicon? I think Ill probs tap into the 90degree bend on the outside.

Yeh Ill look into them thing cheers. Didnt think of that. VTS engine or nitrous contoller next?
