I installed my NOS dry kit today. I could not find the right tap, so i used one that was VERY close. The man at the hardware store said with some thread tape it would seal. My question is, is with the nozzle installed there is a LITTLE play. Obviously it is not sealed totally and i was going to put some epoxy, or RTV to seal off the nozzle. Would this be a good idea? I have been to 5 different hardware stores in town and none of them have the tap i need, plus i really dont feel like drilling another hole in my throttle body. Also, the nozzle is installed in the TB after the MAF just like the directions say. How does the computer know to add fuel since the MAF is not reading the extra O2 coming in?

I tried posting in the pipes, boost and juice section but that place is dead, especially this late. Anyone got any thoughts?

maybe just buy the tape on ebay play it safe espically when dealing with nitrous lol that could be dangerous just my two cents

The instructions told you to put the nozzle into the throttle body?

a little play will be a BIG projectile in the event of a backfire coming up through the manifold. That little fogger will become the equivalent of a .45 so I would derfinitely recommend taking the time to secure it before you go juicin.

Just curious why you drilled into the TB with a dry kit?

Goosepoop302

yeah i agree with that ive seen how that can wip when u upen the bottle wiht the hose on

i also was told to tap the TB. i assume this is because with the strong threads in the TB can hold againstany force that may try to dislodge it

most of the nitrous companies sell threaded bungs that can be used to thread the fogger nozzles into intake elbows. IMO, replacing the upper elbow on an intake because of the drilled hole it has in itis a lot less cheaper than replacing a TB with a hole in it if you ever decide to remove, upgrade, or replace your nitrous system.

Well if i ever want to take it out it is drilled through the blue band and hose clamp for my CAI also, i can jsut spin the band to cover up the hole and i think that would seal it. Goose, you have pretty much the same setup as me, how does your nitrous feel? Your nozzle is tapped into the TB also?
