nozzle location

rudebwoy · 02-13-2007

I am running a JG edelbrock intake manifold that has multiple ports on the back, I was wondering which location would be best running the nozzle from the back of the manifold, or tapping my intercooler piping and risk leaking boost?

Not sure of the type of intake you are using. Got a pic? Most of our users put it in there intake piping.The washer included with the kit is very good at keeping you from having a boost leak.

best pic I could find.

this manifold has plenty of holes on the back of it for vacuum lines etc.
I run 25+ psi on my setup. I dont like the idea of tapping the charge pipes.
the only concern I have about tapping it from the intake manifold is that all the cylinders will not get equal amount of the mixture. but then I guess it the same problem with just running it from the charge pipes. let me know what you guys think.

The metal is pretty thick on there so you might have to use a bung to mount the nozzle. The threads would not be long enough to go through that far enough to mate to the nozzle holder.

Intakes are computer designed to put equal airflow in all cylinders there for the alcohol added to the intake is dispursed evenly to the runners. I have personaly verified this on multiple vehicles by taking temp reading on each individual runners non were greater than 1 degree of other. Remember your talking about a fine mist mixed with 100's of CFM of air. Our nozzle come with a bonded washer that creates a air tight seal on any intake pipe.

ok so the best place is in the charge pipes, good.
now last tech question, how far away from the throttle body/plate is it recomended to tap for the nozzle in the charge pipe? I know this is probably covered somewhere already but since we are on the subject I thought I ask. thanks in advance.
