Use teflon sealing compound sparingly
where symbol indicates. (Tape not
recommended on these threads.)

CAUTION!

As a safety precaution, the +12V

terminal of this product should be

fused before connecting to the 12V

ignition switch. We recommend

using a 1 Amp, 3AG fast-acting type

cartridge fuse (Littlefuse

®

# 312 001

or an equivalent).

Installation - Nitrous pressure

1. Check that you have all parts required for installation, and the

engine is cool.

2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3. Gauge mounts in a 2

"

hole. Use supplied brackets and nuts to

secure gauge to dash.

4. Drill 1" diameter hole where wires pass through sheet metal

(such as firewall) and install rubber grommet provided.

5. Connect the white wire to dash lighting or switchable 12v light

source, the red wire to switched +12V source and the black wire
to ground. (see diagram for details) Digital display will dim when
power is applied to white wire.

6.

Make sure the nitrous bottle valve is closed and there is no

pressure in the system.

7. Remove the main nitrous feed line from the bottle or the nitrous

solenoid. Install on in-line gauge adapter either on the nitrous
bottle or nitrous solenoid. Re-install the main nitrous feed line.
Install pressure sender and wiring harness. For mounting off
bottle in rear of car, use 20’ sender harness model 5223.

8. Open the nitrous bottle valve.

NOTe: Test all fittings and hoses for any leakage. If any leaks

are detected, determine the cause of the leak and

repair. Do not operate vehicle if any leaks are detected.

Installation - Fuel & Boost pressure

1. Check that you have all parts required for installation, and the

engine is cool.

2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.

3. Gauge mounts in a 2

1

16

" hole. Use supplied brackets and nuts to

secure gauge to dash.

4. Drill 1" diameter hole where wires pass through sheet metal

(such as firewall) and install rubber grommet provided.

(Grommet will require slit.)

5. Connect the white wire to dash lighting or switchable 12v light source,

the red wire to switched +12V source and the black wire to ground.

(see diagram for details) Digital display will dim when power is applied

to white wire.

CAUTION:

If you will be working with the fuel system, take care to insure no sparks
or flames occur. Do not smoke while installing the fuel pressure sender.

WARNING:

The fuel system is pressurized and often retains this pressure for an
extended period of time. Properly vent your fuel system before installing
the fuel pressure sender. If you are not familiar with the proper method
of venting, you MUST have this done by an experienced mechanic.

WARNING: Not compatible with Nitromethane, Methanol,

or 100% MTBE.

6.

For fuel pressure gauge, install the

1

8

"

NPT pressure sender into

the fuel system (See warning in next column). For Ford fuel injected
applications with a Schrader valve in the fuel rail, use adapter 3280
between the fuel rail and pressure sender.]

If unit is to be installed on a high vibration application such as a full race

engine or engine capable of high RPM, it is strongly recommended that
the sender be remote mounted to either the fenderwell or firewall, to
insulate from vibration.

Failure to remote-locate pressure senders

on such an application could result in gauge failure and potential
damage to vehicle and/or operator injury.
Braided stainless steel lines
are sold separately by Auto Meter, and can be used to accomplish this.

8. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable.

NOTe: Test all fittings and hoses for any leakage. If any leaks are

detected, determine the cause of the leak and repair. Do not operate

vehicle if any leaks are detected.

OPTIONAL SLIT TUBING RECOMMENDED

(AVAILABLE AT MOST HARDWARE STORES)

your nitrous kit
