i took my nitrous kit off a few weeks ago just for the hell of it...i wanted to sell it but i have kind of talked myself out of that. my question now is where have you guys ran your wires into the truck from the engine compartment? i had them running up under the truck into the cab before and it was ghetto...i need some insight as to where to come in and what size wire to use...i'm thinking 12 gauge stranded wire should suffice. thanks in advance!!

i drilled a hole about 1-2" away from where the throttle cable comes thru the fire wall. i squeesed a gromet in there and ran some wires thru. not for nitrous but it seems like an ok spot for wires to go thru. i use alot of zip ties also.

 

where does that come into the cab at? i know the location in the engine bay you are reffering to...but not on the inside...what side of the throttle cable also...right or left from the bay view

 

i don't remember exactly but the reason i went there is because you can use that cable as a reference point and know where the hole is going to end up. just stick your head down there with a flash light and look.

 

what size whloe did you make and what size grommet did you use?

 

I just ran the wires and nitrous line through the factory grommet, taped it up and replaced the convoluted tube covering. All you can see is the convoluted tube running over the brake booster to the main cover.

I took my actual N2O hose from benind the seat, to the passenger side, in a valley under the plastic piece that clips down and covers the carpet / door jamb. From there, I took the hose under the pass front carpet. There is a 1" access hole from the bottom of the cab. I punched out the cover and ran the hose out there. Then it goes along the frame and to my solenoids on the pass side engine compartment.

I have my wires going in a similar pattern to the drivers side area. I made a small power point for all my accessories under that drivers side kick panel. Makes it much easier to wire in new stuff.

 

oxidizr...is there plenty room in the existing grommet? and on another note, where did you put your purge to make it come out right there? i always ran mine out of the bow tie cuz i had a bulls eye one before, but it's gone now.

i also used the factory grommet. there is plenty of room. including my fans i had about 5 wires running through there.
