Nitrous Express Pushrod Style 5.0L Plate - Manual

Pushrod Style 5.0L Plate Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your Nitrous Express EFI Plate system. Nitrous Express utilizes only the highest quality components
designed for the use of liquid nitrous oxide. To properly utilize these specially designed components and obtain the trouble-free operation that
this system is capable of producing, it is extremely important that you read all instructions carefully. Pay special attention to the important notes
at the end of the installation steps and the tuning tips listed at the back of this instruction sheet. The NX EFI Plate System is designed to operate
with stock fuel pumps and no timing retard, up to the 100 horsepower setting.
On all settings above 100 horsepower the following precautions should be observed:
A. An extra capacity aftermarket fuel pump must be used, 250LPH Minimum
B. High octane race type fuel, and/or timing retard must be used to prevent detonation.
C. Increased strength internal engine components and high performance head gaskets may be required.
D. Depending on compression and fuel quality timing retard may be necessary to prevent detonation. If you have an aftermarket ECU
tuner that advances the stock timing, detonation could be a problem. These aftermarket tuners can
be compatible if higher octane fuel
or NX Power Booster (PN # 16003) fuel additive is used.
To insure proper system assembly and operation, carefully read the following installation procedures thoroughly before beginning.
Before starting, carefully disconnect the vehicle negative battery cable. If there is any question about this operation, consult the vehicle owner’s
manual!
DO NOT use any sealer on flare connections, hose, or bottle connections. Use the furnished NX red liquid thread sealer; use no other sealing
compounds or Teflon tape.
Excessive tightening of parts is not necessary, snug is tight enough. If it is necessary to remove a fitting installed with the red NX sealer, heat
may need to be applied to release the sealing agent.
NOTE: Due to shipping restrictions all NX nitrous bottles arrive empty. Before beginning the installation the N2O bottle should be filled by a
NX accredited filling station. For filling station locations log on to

MOUNTING THE BOTTLE
The nitrous bottle should be mounted in the trunk area or outside of the passenger compartment. If this is not possible or practical a
NHRA approved blow down tube and vent fitting (PN’s 11708, 11709) must be installed. The positioning of the bottle should be as
shown in illustration “A”. This will allow the siphon tube to be covered at all times.
The mounting brackets should be assembled on the bottle with the short bracket approx. 2” from the bottom, on 10 lb. bottles the long
bracket should be place approx. 7” above the lower one, on 15lb bottles the upper bracket should be approx. 12” above the lower
bracket. Use this mock up as a template t o locate the four mounting b olt holes.
Note: Before drilling holes be sure to check for clearance beneath the mounting surface i.e.: fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines.
