Plumb the fuel system to the fuel solenoid. During this installation, we were able to simply use a 3/16 to a -4AN fitting that went into the fuel rail to make it super easy to attach the -4AN hose from the fuel rain to the fuel solenoid.

Install the nitrous purge solenoid. Use an appropriate fitting, such as T fitting for AN line. Mount the purge solenoid to the IN side of the nitrous solenoid. Install a purge line to the solenoid and run to your desire location, in our case we ran it through the windshield wiper cowl.

Install a threaded insert into the desired location of your intake tube to thread in the nitrous nozzle. Reinstall the intake tube, install the desired jetting into the nozzle then attach the fuel and nitrous lines.

Install the full throttle switch, either to the gas pedal or on the throttle body. In our case we mounted it below the throttle so the hammer of the throttle would hit the switch at about 98% throttle.
