NOS system hookups

Hey guys. I have the Pro-line NOS accessory kit (gas tank, bottle, regulator, fuel pumps, hose). I've been scouring the boards here looking for a pic on how to hook all this stuff together properly. I used the search, but don't see anything coming up except how to make the bottles. I have an idea of how it should go, but would really like to see how the parts hook up on other folks rigs. Or, maybe even a 1:1 pic for reference. Thanks for any help!

Oh come on...nobody knows how this stuff hooks up? I'm assuming- Bottle to pump, tank to other pump, out of both pumps to regulator, then single line out of regulator and disappear into the framing as if going to engine. Anybody got a better idea?
 
Found this pic. Still not a clear indication of all the parts though.

from the pic it looks to me like the regulator piece is a fuel regulator, and the other piece looks like a fuel filter assembly.

so with that being said I would mount your NOS bottle where ever you want it, then take a short piece of the hose and run it out of sight.

then mount your fuel cell where ever you want it. and run a piece of hose from the tank to the filter assembly and then from that to the regulator and then out of sight.

hope this helps. and this is just based on what I can tell from the pic.
 
Nos is a name brand but whatever. The nitrous bottle is under pressure so it gets plumbed straight to the intake with no pump. There should be a solenoid between the bottle and the intake if you want to make one. The fuel side would go: cell - pumps - regulator - motor. Warren mentioned filters but there isn't any included in the kit so you would need to make those to if you wanted.
 
Looks like the cell has a second fitting for a return as well? If so, it should go


cell--pump------------fuel Rail-Pressure Regulator (on rail)----------cell

Nitrous would go directly from tank to intake.
 
bottle then hose, then solonoids, then hose to the intake. your WOT switch, and FPSS are wired to the silonoids. also if your running an RPM window its wired to the silonoids as well.
dont forget your blow down tube. NHRA and IHRA both require it. dont forget your bottle warmer too.

be careful though, your floor boards may fall out :lmao:

Cool, thanks guys. I'm not going for an absolutely authentic hookup. I just wanted a general idea so it looked somewhat logical in how it was put together. Seeing as how some components could be closer to the engine or other areas, they could go unseen and not fabricated. was just trying to avoid the inevitable know it all post from someone saying, "Hey stupid, you got the pumps hooked up backwards". :)

Really appreciate the input though. I'm a modeler and builder, not a mechanic.
 
to clearify as mentioned earlier they are not pumps, more like electronic valves. the bottles pressure alone moves the nitrous threw the lines.
they are also usually mounted in the engine bay so if you just wanted to run just hose from the bottle to the firewall that would technically be correct and you wouldnt have to fool with the included silonoids."thumbsup"

There aren't any included solenoids.
 
hmm the first pic by the OP shows the twin solenoids and what looks like a FPSS.
i assumed those were included, but ive never seen one of the kits in person:oops:
 
Ok, it would seem this system is more complex than I first thought. I kinda like the idea of making the missing components. I think I may even hinge my hood so I can put some of the parts near the engine. I haven't done a battery mod on this rig and don't intend to, so the hood hinging would just be for showing off the engine details and hook ups.
Not sure though, I wasn't intending to go that far. Looks like I have some more research to do. :)

Could be solenoids, could be external fuel pumps.

Maybe the fuel pump is in the tank and you don't need those, maybe the nitrous system is dry and doesn't need solenoids.

Lots of ways to look at it. Really just whatever you want to do.
 
in my opinion they are solenoids. the giveaway to me are the nipples on the top of them, the label direction, and the fact that there are two of them mounted next to each other not inline.
plus with the blue color its obvious they are copying Nitrous Oxide Systems which is what I have, mine are mounted the same.

the supply line is unhooked (right fitting) and the T is just for dual nozzles.
