i had a line a long time ago rub against a sharp edge for months and finally broke while i was driving, i just got high as hell, it was fun!!!
ok, kidding on getting high but nothing happened. i was told a while ago that it was pretty much the same as medical grade but they add sulfur so you can smell it ...

EDIT: They do add oxygen at the dentist, about 50:50, I was there a few weeks ago. And if inhaled in high concentrations, he did say it was toxic. However, as far as running the lines inside the car, I would think the highest danger of leakage exists at the fittings, not along the length of the hoses. And since most people place the bottle under the hatch... However, it does seem it would be an easier route to go to run the hose under the car.
Has anyone found any other place to mount the bottle besides behind the driver? I was thinking of pulling the spare and making a bracket to mount the bottle in its place, under the carpet mat, and make a better fitting, aluminum, cover for it. I suppose there is no place outside the passenger cabin. Battery compartment too small?

nitrous help
New to the site and the import scene. I am an old chevy small block guy and can build a 350 chevy with my eyes closed. Has anyone installed the Edelbrock nitrous kit on their Z. I got everything tightened but i am having a hell of a time with the wiring! I got it right but my service engine soon light comes on and the temp gague doesnt work. I rewired it stock and it still didn't work with a wire extention. I had to remove that 3'' wire because it didn't produce enough resistance to the ECM. I think that is the same problem i am having with the fuel enrichment module on the nitrous system. Has anyone had similar problems. HELP PLEASE its driving me nuts! The nitrous works and it goes like HELL but that light and code wont clear!

EDIT: tried to find the thread that this guy installed and tested the edlbrock on the dyno. Make a long story short...he didn't make the power promised by edlebrock and coverted everything to NX wet.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into a NX kit. I was bored the day before Thanksgiving, JEGS was right down the street, and wanted a little project for my daily driver. I liked the idea of being it practical and Edelbrock, in my experience, makes some solid equiptment. It works good for what i wanted it for, just some minor glitches. I got an old trailor queen in the Garage (79 Camaro). Thats where most of my money and time go. I am trying to adjust to owning an import and i like it so far, but i'll always be a camaro guy.
