Intake Tube ? What are you using?

[SHO_OFF]

Hey guys, so I'm going to move the Nitrous tap from the Throttle Body and want to mount it in the Intake like was suggested. Anyway, wondering what people are using instead of the rubber tubing?

Are you talking about mounting to the snakes? Is this a dry shot?

Why would you move it from the throttle body?
This is the best place for it.
As long as you have it lined up correctly, you won't have any problems.
I have sprayed a 100lbs this way with zero problems.

It is the Dry kit. I had posted a few weeks ago about the Jet location and people were saying that 6" from the Throttle Body was the rule of thumb. The motor I pulled it off of was blown, and that was his 2nd motor in 2-3yrs that he blew. So that was my initial concern about the location. The difference is that Fred (rubydist) and I are doing a full 3.2 swap and have the motor tore down to the block. Soaking pistons, 3.0 cams, etc. so I will be starting with a new motor if you will. And it sounds like he ran his hard. Just want to be able to play, but play safe. Going to run a 75 shot.

Also to answer LOUDSHO92's question, I am talking about the tube between the Throttle Body and the MAF...

I have seen it installed in this section of tubing.
They make an adapter/jam nut fitting that you can use.
I have also seen it "RIP" right outta the tubing from the initial hit of NOS.
This is why I recomend tapping the throttle body for the nozzle location.

Thanks for the info! It has already been tapped into the throttle body. I'm guessing he just ran the bottle a LOT!!!

It's simple, you just buy a different piece of tubing. Anything that is a 45*(?) elbow like the stock rubber tube. Then tap the new tube for the nozzle, install and don't worry about it.

True. I was thinking of the stock rubber elbow.

Yea, I tried that once. It ripped right out of the elbow just like you said. oops!

They make silicone elbow tubes that have molded-in bungs to mount nitrous ports, vacuum lines, etc. You'd just want a large washer under the nut to keep the port from ripping out.

Edit: This would work well. http://www.siliconeintakes.com/prod...d=500&osCsid=5aedb201c564369689016f480e8d006c
