VCN 1000

Ha ha ha!!! I got it!!!! Just cae in today!!. The VCn manual became my new Bible!!! I read it like 4 times and now itall makes sence, and looks safe. I got one quetion, do u guys think it is possible to instal the botlle on the backwall of the rear seat, so the bottle is in the trunk and when I unfold the seats the bottle is behind me. I saw some people instal the amps like that. How do u do that?? Thanks and let the NOS be with u [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i doubt the seat will be able to support the weight. there's really nothing there to attach the brackets to. i really haven't looked at it. it may work. where would you run the hose if you did it like so?

Yeah [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. I can not wait tll I put it on !! After I read the manual I think U need to be realy stupid or have lots of bad luck to blow it. It looks like I still need to buy the bottle heater, preassure meter an a safty valve. I am wondering ifthe stuff from NX will fit on Venom.

PerfectD3 : need to admit Let the Nitrous Oxide Be With U or Let Venom be with U does not sound as good as Let the NOS be wth u. And Yes I know NOS is a brand. But every one knows what I mean by NOs. Peace

like Honda Tuning. in the car, on the passenger side. i was going to run it under the car but it would have been a b!tch to do so.

on the passenger side floor board, behind the rug, there is a grommet that gives access to the bay. I run a NX kit. the heater will work. i'm unsure about the opener though. if the ***** are the same size on both bottles then it should.

as far as installing the bottle on the back of the seat... the trick is to slide a piece of particle board into the back of the seat. that gives you a surface to work from. i would go with a pretty big piece to support the bottle. (not thick, just overall surface area) that should give the efffect you are looking for. you can take a look at my ride to see if thats what you are looking for.

Do Not Mount Bottle on back seat!!

The Bottle must be facing the engine, and the opener should sit at little higher angle, it has to be mounted on a flat surface with the front a little higher, otherwise there is a possiblity that you will be sucking gas and not liquid from the bottle, and it would not give you the power you should have.

Trust me, it may look cool, but you will loose alot of function.

Well, the bottle should not face the engine, it should be sideways - so if u get rear ended the valve will not get damadged- and if I remember right the side with the valve should be higher?? I am not sure about this one. I think I will have a chance to mount it on the back wall of the seat. We will see next week when I will mount it, thx for feedback !!!
