Nitrous Feed Line Mounting
1. Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line
too close to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires.
2. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle.
3. Feed nitrous line along proposed route.
4. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle.
Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive. Shield painted components or
sensitive system components like electrical, fuel lines, brake lines or suspension components to prevent them
from contacting main feed line. Rubber hose can be slid over and retained as a chafe guard.
5. Leave nitrous line loose pending installation of nitrous solenoid.

Solenoid Mounting
Use the following procedures to install the Performer nitrous solenoids.
Note: Remember to use Teflon paste only on pipe threads. Do not use Teflon tape.
Hint:
Solenoid Safety Information
1. Keep solenoids and lines away from exhaust components.
2. Trial fit the solenoids with all lines attached to ensure a proper fit.
3. Solenoids may be mounted sideways or upside-down, if necessary.
Nitrous Solenoids Mounting
1. Locate the EFI solenoid bracket, solenoids, inlet fitting, outlet fitting, plug, solenoid tee, and solenoid mounting
screws.
2. Hold one of the nitrous solenoids securely (like in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid or block
the inlet or outlet port of the solenoid.
3. Install the nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/8 NPT), using liquid Teflon paste, in the inlet port of the
nitrous solenoid.
4. Install one of the 1/8 NPT male sides of the solenoid tee, using liquid Teflon, on the outlet port of the nitrous
solenoid. The female port of the solenoid tee should be facing outward.
5. Install the remaining 1/8 NPT male end of the solenoid tee, using liquid Teflon, into the inlet port of the second
nitrous solenoid. Rotate the second solenoid so that it parallels the first.
6. Install the 3AN X 1/8 NPT (blue straight fitting) into the outlet port of the second nitrous solenoid.
7. Install the 1/8 NPT Male Plug into the female 1/8 NPT hole on the solenoid tee. Be sure to use liquid Teflon on
the threads of the plug to prevent leakage.
8. Verify the desired mounting location for the solenoid assembly.
9. After the mounting location is determined, tighten all the fittings.
10. Remove the assembly from the vise and mount the solenoid bracket to the solenoids.
11. Leave all wiring loose for electrical systems installation.
12. Connect the main nitrous feed line to the inlet fitting (4AN X 1/8 NPT nitrous filter fitting) of the first nitrous
solenoid.

Placement of the solenoid is often limited by the lack of possible mounting locations in the engine
compartment. However, if possible, observe the following suggestions:
