1. Our lucky car of the day to see big power is
this Nismo X Trail.
2. Since the X Trail still has the factory
intake system, the rubber elbow is removed to be
drilled for the NX Piranha nozzle. The rule of
thumb is to mount the nozzle at least 6 inches
away from the throttle body.
3. We then run the nitrous
supply line through a rubber grommet in the
firewall.
4. In this case, we ran the line through a
wiring harness boot on the passenger side.
5. Keeping things neat, we remove the side steps
and run the supply line underneath.
6. The other end will be connected to the 10 lbs
bottle that we will mount on the plastic tool
cover.
7. Here we see the hole drilled and the nozzle
bung screwed into place.
8. We wrap Teflon tape on the nozzle and screw
it into the bung. The nozzle end should be face
toward the throttle body.
9. The bolt that holds the brake master cylinder
is perfect to hold our bracket for the nitrous
and fuel solenoids.
10. A custom made bracket was fabricated and
holes were drilled for the solenoids.
11. Here's the big red fuel solenoid.
12. And here's the nitrous solenoid.
13. The consensus for the switches is that the
master arm toggle switch will be placed here
beside the foglight switch.
14. The go fast happy button will be placed here
above the drink cooler, near the steering wheel.
15. Here we have the toggle switch wired up and
placed in the empty plastic clip.
16. While it may seems like a rat's nest of
wires, removing the panel is an easy way to
locate a ignition on power wire to supply the
solenoids.
17. Once the ignition on power is located, the
appropriate taps are made and the panel is
screwed back into place.
18. Here the happy go fast button is installed
ready to be pressed.
19. Both solenoids are now installed on the
bracket, with the nitrous supply line attached
to the blue solenoid.
20. A brass T fitting is used to supply the fuel
to the red solenoid.
21. Both sets of supply lines are attached and
the outputs are also screwed on to the nozzle.
22. Here's the engine side install complete.
50hp nitrous and fuel jettings are placed inside
the Piranha nozzle.
23. The bracket is bolted on the plastic tool
cover to hold the bottle in place.
24. By placing the bottle off to one side, we
still maintain the X Trail's utility function
while providing an instant and additional 50hp
on tap anytime.
