Nitrous line plumbing...
Hey folks,
Where do you guys route the nitrous feed line to the engine? I don't want to make a hole in the firewall, but I couldn't find any spare holes with grommets in them. Am I not seeing correctly?
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
Thanks

I ran the nitrous line through the grommeted hole in the spare tire well and then zip tied the lines off following the driveshaft. I snaked the Nitrous line up through the engine bay, just to the rear of the wheel well (almost directly under the battery). Here is a link to a good install writeup. This is pretty much the same thing that I did.

Hope this helps.

I don't want to route it from the bottom of the vehicle because I want to mount the bottle right behind the drivers seat for easy access to open the bottle. I ran the line through the interior of the car already, and I found the big grommet for the ecu wiring harness. I just thought we might have a extra grommet that isn't being used.
I would hate to make a hole in the ecu grommet and maybe have a water leak because of it.
Thanks for the help guys

behind the battery u will find a RUBBER sprout with the factory harness running through it. just unwrap the black tape, run your nitrous line and wires through the runner sprout, and then make sure u tape it back up good. and your done.you can run the nitrous line along the passenger side and in to the trunk. now go get a beer!

I cant stress enough !!!--- Dont screw up with the hot punch. Its clean and watertite if done right
BTW---An improper seal on the main grommet on the Z WILL leak like a SOB.
Edit: ---Nice to have the Stainless line away from other wires so it doesnt Chaff them, Hence, the separate hole in the main grommet

Best to just run it outside as everyone has mentioned. It is safer as well. Also if you ever plan to track it, you'll need a blow down tube which will also require you to put a hole in the floor.

if you run through passenger side groumet , you wont have to drill or cut anything. you would just unwrap the tape around the openning and re wrap with electrical tape when your done.

Why do people mention that it is safer to run it outside the car? What is gonna happen if the line burst (never seen it happen BTW)? you'll freeze your carpeting? Nitrous oxide is a NONFLAMMABLE GAS!!!!!
