Never change pressure settings of the safety relief valve on the nitrous bottle valve. Increasing the safety relief valve pressure settings may create an explosive bottle hazard. Identify the gas content by the NOS label on the bottle before using. If the bottle is not identified to show the gas contained, return the bottle to the supplier.
Chapter 1 Introduction to your NOS Nitrous Oxide Kit 1.1 General Information Kit Numbers 05176NOS/05176TBNOS is intended for use on 1992-1997 350 GM LT-1 engines. 125-150hp increases are common with this kit. Torque increases of 160-200 lb./ft. over stock are common.
1.3 Kit Components Before beginning the installation of your NOS kit, compare the components in your kit with those shown in Figure 1 and listed in Table 1. If any components are missing, please contact NOS Technical Support at 1-866-GOHOLLEY.
2.1.1 Street Vehicles Accurate calibration of your NOS nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature. Mount the bottle away from heat sources, such as the engine compartment or exhaust system, and away from windows, where the bottle is exposed to direct sunlight.
2.3 Bottle Installation After you have determined the location and orientation of the nitrous bottle, use the following procedure to install the bottle: NOTE: Numbers in parentheses ( ) refer to the parts list /assembly drawing number for the component (Figure 1). Figure 4 shows the installation assembly for Kit Number 05176NOS.
2.4 Spray Nozzle Installation—Kit Number 05176NOS only Find a suitable location for the fan spray nozzle in the intake inlet duct. Check for interference between the spray nozzle and the nearby components. The recommended location for the nozzle is generally 6-8 inches before the throttle body. NOTE: On vehicles that feature mass air flow sensors, the nozzle needs to be mounted between the sensor and the throttle body (downstream of the sensor).
NOTE: It is best to mount the solenoid assembly in a location that minimizes the distance from the nitrous regulator to the fuel pressure regulator. 2.6 Solenoid and Regulator Mounting—Kit Number 05176TBNOS only Use the following procedure to install the nitrous solenoids. CAUTION: Do not overtighten the vise in the following procedure, or the solenoid will be damaged.
Place the #67 flare jet (22) into the flare jet fitting (supplied with the NOS throttle body), as shown in Figure 5. Connect and tighten the 2 ft. 3AN x 1/8” NPT line (16) to the solenoid outlet and from the NOS throttle body flare jet fitting inlet, as shown in Figure 6.
Bleed off the residual fuel pressure at the fuel rail test port. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of the fuel rail test port. WARNING: The fuel system in LT-1 powered vehicles is designed to retain a fuel pressure of approximately 30 psi after the engine has been shut off.
2.11 Electrical System Installation Use the following procedure and refer to Figure 8 for the electrical system installation. WARNING! Death or injury may occur from working on a charged electrical system. 2.11.1 Electrical Installation—N O System Disconnect the car battery at the ground cable (if not already done). WARNING! Binding or dragging of the throttle linkage will create a potentially dangerous stuck-throttle condition.
Figure 9 Microswitch Mounting Location Figure 10 Microswitch Installation Install the toggle arming switch (32) in the vehicle interior, within easy reach of the driver. Connect terminal #1 (labeled “volts”) on the arming switch to an ignition switched +12V source, using the fused red wire provided.
Connect terminal #3 (labeled “ground”) of the arming switch to the ground. (You may elect to skip this step. If you do so, the light in the arming switch will not illuminate when the system is armed). Connect the open post of the microswitch to one wire from each solenoid (either wire will do, the solenoids are not polarized) using the blue wire provided.
