How hard is it to istall a nitrous wet kit like a NX kit?

And how hard would it to install a bottle warmer?

an n2o install is pretty easy, but can be time consuming depending on how much custom work you want to do. I have roughly 10 hours in my install, but I hid everything pretty good. Here are a few pics of my install for some ideas.

I ended up putting my solenoids (n2o, fuel and purge) under my rain gutter. All the stainless lines are covered in wire loom for an OEM look. All my wiring/main feed line are in OEM looms. For the bottle mount I made a plywood deck for a solid mount.

All in all you could probably install a NX wet kit in 4 hours, but if you want a permanent install it might take a little longer to hide your wires. I would recommend installing everything at once, because you will have places to run wires already opened up.

You will need basic electrical knowledge to do the wiring, which is probably the hardest part of the entire process. Everything else is pretty much straighforward. I would highly recommend doing it yourself, so you can troubleshoot your system. If someone else installs it, you will not know the ins and outs of your setup

I agree, you should install it yourself. There are quite a few wires you have to deal with (around 20 or so), but it isn't too hard. Just time consuming. The physical mounting of everything is just a few holes
