The next discussion will be on a much more simple system. A single nozzle system. This would be the kind of system that would be very easy to hide. There are plenty of ways to disguise a line and nozzle and with the amount of plumbing before and after the turbo, there are plenty of choices for discreet placement. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't a few secret systems already being used in some 'class' racing. Nitrous has been known throughout racing history as the favorite tool of choice, located in the cheat drawer of your favorite crew chief's tool box. In fact, if I were to involve myself in class racing, with what I know now, I would be very tempted to use my fabricating skills to come up with a stealth nitrous system. Why not? What are they going to do? Take away my name? Heck. Just a one second shot could make the difference of whether a record is made or not.
The first question about nozzle placement is where. Before the turbo. After the turbo. Before the intercooler. After the intercooler. Before the throttle body.
The next question should be wet or dry. Also, where you place the nozzle would have a lot to do with whether you go with a wet system or dry system.
Next question. How should the nozzle face? Should it spray upstream or downstream. Will where you decide to place the nozzle have any bearing on the direction it sprays?
To search for the answer to some or all of these questions try visiting the Wizards of Nos site/forum. There is some very interesting information there.
