Component Installation
1. First, you will need to remove the Performer plate, gaskets, lines from solenoids to plate, and solenoid mounting
brackets that you had previously installed with your Performer Nitrous System. When you remove your old Performer
Nitrous Plate, be sure you remove all of the gasket material with it.
2. Install your new Performer RPM Nitrous Plate (Item A) onto the carburetor pad using the 2 supplied gaskets
(Items B) with this system.
When installing fittings into the solenoids only use Teflon Paste. Do Not Use Teflon Tape. Teflon tape can break free
inside of the fittings and travel through the system and end up clogging your nitrous or fuel jets or solenoids causing
sever engine damage.
3. Hold the Performer RPM Nitrous Solenoid (Item C) securely, such as in a bench vise, being careful not to harm the
solenoid or block the inlet or outlet of the solenoid.
4. Install the 4AN X ¼" NPT N2O Filter Fitting (Item J) into the inlet port of your Performer RPM Nitrous Solenoid using
Teflon Paste.
5. Install the 4AN X 1/8" NPT Straight Blue Nitrous Fitting (Item M) into the outlet port of your Performer RPM Nitrous
Solenoid using Teflon Paste.
6. Install 1 of the 1-Up Solenoid Brackets (Item E) using two of the Solenoid Mounting Screws (Item F) onto your
Performer RPM Nitrous Solenoid and mount the solenoid in the same location as where you had your Performer Nitrous
Solenoid mounted.
7. Install the 12-inch Steel Braided Nitrous Line (Item H) from the outlet fitting of your Performer RPM Nitrous Solenoid.
8. Once you have made your jetting selection from the next page, install the appropriate nitrous jet into the plate fitting
and install the remaining side of your 12-inch Steel Braided Nitrous Line onto the nitrous fitting of the Performer RPM
Plate with the jet
(Item I)

teflon paste.
