Default Main Feed Line Routing

Those of you that mounted the bottle in the cab. How did you route your nitrous line? Were you able to use an existing hole or did you have to make a hole in the firewall and/or under the cab?

For those that ran it in the bed same questions.

I am hooking up the nitrous but was hoping to not drill any new holes in the truck.

I have my bottle in my cab. I drilled a hole in a pop out plug in the rear corner of the cab and used a rubber gromet to protect the line.

your going to have to reguardless for the mount. unless you make a bracket to bolt it to the bed mounts.

in the cab you need a blow down tube that will need a hole.

in the bed you can run it and run the line through a small hole but nothing bad .

Do you have any pics?

Also, how/where did you run the wiring for the activation switch and purge?

For the blow down tube I thought about using the vent that is on the back. There is one on each side.

Don't have any pics of the feed line, I mounted my switches in the little pannel left of the gauge cluster. That's pretty mush the normal spot that everyone puts them. Nitrous Outlet makes a switch pannel that fits in there, as long at you aren't 4WD.

Did you have to make a hole to run the wires into the cab? What wire did you use to get the rpm signal?

One of the easiest places to get rpm signal is the passanger side injector plug. I will let someone who know what color for your year of truck but this is where I pulled my tach signal from.

Wires you should have plenty of room in an existing gromet to fit the few wires you need through.

If you go inside the truck with the bottle then the feed line could be routed out the vent in the back corner like someone said. Then the blow off could also be done the same. You just need to get a hose style blow off tube and run hose out of the truck.

I used a coil ground wire for my tach signal. And I used the large gromet in the firewall to run my wiring. I believe you can use the tach signal on the back of the gauge cluster and the TPS signal from the throttle pedal wiring. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I used the big grommet where the existing wiring comes through under the drivers side. U can't use the wire behind the cluster for the tach Bc its a serial wire. Use pin 10 on the green connector on the PCm, it's white. And for you're tps signal use the purple wire on the tb/tps
