WHAT IS NITROUS OXIDE? Nitrous Oxide is a cryogenic gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen molecules. It is stored as a “gas over a liquid” which means that both liquid and gaseous nitrous oxide is delivered into your engine. It is 36% oxygen by weight, which is what produces the added horsepower. By injecting more oxygen (and a corresponding fuel signal), we create the additional power much like a supercharger or a turbocharger does. Nitrous Oxide is considered an “oxidizer” and not a fuel. Nitrou

1.3 Engine Operation Considerations When used correctly, nitrous oxide safely elevates cylinder pressures and temperatures while increasing combustion rate. These characteristics make the engine more sensitive to detonation. To ensure proper performance, engine and drive line life, the following tips are suggested: � Adequate Fuel Pressure and Delivery When designing your fuel system, plan on your pumps and lines flowing at least 0.10 gallons per hour per horsepower. The testing at Edelbrock wa

2.0 Performer RPM II Nitrous System Installation 2.1 Nitrous Bottle Mounting The nitrous oxide storage cylinder is typically called a “nitrous bottle”. It is an aluminum cylinder, designed and manufactured to withstand very high pressures. The valve on top of the bottle is a high-flow design that allows easy opening and closing which controls the nitrous flow to the engine compartment. Accurate calibration of your nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature. In vehicle

2.2 Bottle Orientation Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your nitrous system. It is important to understand how the bottle valve and siphon tube are assembled to properly orient the bottle in your vehicle and ensure that it picks up liquid nitrous while undergoing acceleration. All nitrous bottles are assembled so that the bottom of the siphon tube is at the bottom of the bottle, opposite the bottle label. An Edelbrock nitrous bottle cannot be mounted upside-down. Edelbrock does

2.3 Nitrous Bottle Installation After you have determined the location and orientation of the nitrous bottle, use the following procedure to install the bottle: 2.3.1 Street Car Installations 1. Disconnect vehicle’s battery. 2. Determine the location of the bottle within the confines of the rear of the vehicle. 3. Once a mounting location has been determined, raise the vehicle (following all safety practices involved in working on a vehicle from under the vehicle) and verify that there are no fu

2.4 Nitrous Feed Line Mounting 1. Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line too close to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires. 2. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle. 3. Feed nitrous line along proposed route. 4. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle. Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive. Shield painted components or sensitive system comp

2.6 Nitrous Solenoid Mounting and Installation 1. Attach the solenoid mounting bracket to the bottom of the nitrous solenoid. 2. Hold the solenoid securely (like in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid or block the inlet or outlet of the solenoid. 3. Install nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 6AN X 1/4 NPT) using liquid Teflon in the inlet port of the nitrous solenoid. 4. Install the blue 4AN X 1/8 NPT flare fitting using liquid Teflon in the outlet port of the nitrous solenoi

2.8 2-Stage Solenoid Mounting Information When mounting your solenoids in a 2-stage configuration, special attention must be paid to your system set-up. Be sure that you utilize the Performer RPM solenoids for your first stage, and the Victor Pro solenoids for your second stage. The Performer RPM solenoids may not be capable of the flow rates required by the high horsepower levels of the second stage. Please refer to the 2-stage wiring diagram to determine proper solenoid connections. 2.9 Nitrou

2.10 Nitrous Injection Plate Installation The Edelbrock Nitrous System injection plate is a precision-designed CNC-machined component. It has been designed to safely introduce a precise, metered nitrous and fuel signal to promote proper mixing and distribution into the intake manifold. The jet map (see Jet Map Information section) will give you the proper jets to use for each of the power levels available for this plate. The jet fittings are color-coded for use with nitrous (blue) and fuel (red)
