Default Nitrous throttle body plate

Does anyone make a Nitrous throttle body plate for the DE's? If not... is anyone working on one, or is there some reason it couldn't be done, on the car?

I don't know alot about nitrous TB plates -- do they use seperate nozzles, one on each side, or is it a fogger just like what I have now? Perhaps the biggest issue might be attaching the lines to the plate, due to limited space?

I'm not exactly sure which one you're referring to, but my buddy did a nitrous install on his M35 a while back. He didn't want to drill a hole in his intake tube, so he bought a throttle body spacer and drilled a hole in that. That's where he mounted (using JB Weld) his ZEX fogger - it seemed to work fine. I actually have that piece in my garage just sitting there and can be put up for sale.

Yeah, thats essentially what I'm referring to. Just wondered if there was something out there that already exists that I could bolt on and screw my lines to.

something like this would be sweet, but there wouldn't be any room:



or maybe this:



Too bad neither one is for our cars.

my nozzle is welded into my charge pipe. The space idea is good. Although nitrous companies recommend you install the nozzle about 6" away from the throttle body.

I can make them, I am planning on doing a pair for my HR.

What I did on my dads truck, was drill and tap the spacer plate on the side and thread the nozzle in, just have to make sure it's aligned properly and you have access to the lines once installed (would hate to have to pull the TB to change jets...)

As far as epoxying it in place (JB Weld or similar), bad idea IMO. Most companies offer a nut for mounting the nozzle in a tube, I've used those with success in rubber and aluminum tubing to mount nozzles.

If anyone has a spare TB I can pattern, I'd be happy to offer a blank TB spacer, or one drilled/tapped for 1/16th NPT (holley) or 1/8th NPT (all others) nozzle(s).
