Default Nitrous installed wrong, need help

I let my local shop install my NOS and everybody else tells me it's installed wrong, that it's not supposed to be connected to the return fuel line, but i don't know where it's supposed to be connected to, because when i push the button I don't feel it going and I have a 75 shot

Here are the pics so you can see where it's connected to.

i could be wrong but being infront of the fuel pressure regulator(i forget what nissan calls it) you may drop som fuel, but i think it is your wide open throttle switch if you have one...it may be on the wrong wire....if you werent getting fuel your car would be way lean instead of just no change....it sounds like your silinoids are not opening

i believe nissan calls it a damper. Anyone with a install, could you take some detailed pics, close ups and all angles, i need to know where to tap too. That aam adapter is too $$$ for what it is and the other adapter out there is on backorder.

**there's no return fuel line (we have a return-less fuel system)**

the AAM fuel tap gets the fuel on the other side of the fuel dampener (regulator)...but if you're not feeling any difference at all, I doubt that's the problem. I just tested my install today on a 35 shot and could feel the difference...if you're spraying a 75 shot and not getting enough fuel, it could be really bad for your engine!

i have had two nitrous systems in our cars tapped into the same place. dont worry about it, it is fine, only problem is if you want to put the car back to stock you have to buy a $100 line....


its fine!!!


now i read that you cant feel a 75 shot, you should definitely feel it, make sure your bottle pressure is up to 900-1000 and make sure the bottle is open. if you are still having any issues, i would call the place that installed it for you and ask them to check it out...

your tap looks fine.

But if your not feeling 75.. you might have other problems.

i would test the silinoids again

the nitrious is connected to the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator, tell me people, that youall mean to tell me that our cars do not return fuel back to the tank. My notrous only recieves fuel between shifts, I just need to know wher the fuel feed line is or the fuel filter is at.

My friend told me to type that

the fuel tap looks fine and if your "solenoids" are working, then your problem is probably in the nitrous controller. not sure what you are using, but if you have a window switch or full throttle switch, i would check to make sure they tapped the right lines and are recieving the correct signal. let me know if you still have trouble. you can look at the pics in my post if you need help, https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200733
