Where To Mount The Bottle? - Honda Prelude Forum

PreludeVTEC01 · 12-11-2002, 11:54 AM

my nitrous kit is comming soon, but i have a Sub and Amp in my floor in the truck, i was wondering do you think there is enough room, its a 10 pound carbonfiber NOS bottle, if you guys could post some pics, it would help me out alot, and give me some ideas...

mount the bottle sideways touching the backseat, that should give you enough room. You might still be able to mount it the normal way depending on how much room your sub takes up.

backseat on the floor, right behind your driver seat. That way, if you gotta race someone, it's just a quick flick of the wrist away.

And another excuse not to have people in the back of your car. YEA!

yeah that's what i want to do...but i really don't want it that visible...don't you still have to position the bottle correctly with the siphon facing the right way? im assuming you tilt the seat back to hold the bottle in place right?

No, mount that sucker to the flooring. If you don't the bottle can wiggle loose, snap the SS line, and cause a white out in your car.

Here's mine:

mount the bottle to the floor inside the car? hmmm...i can see how that's would be convienient but i don't want an exposed bottle in the open like that...my dad would kill me if he saw it

That and the fact that you have to have a dump tube to run at the track like that. Just put it in the trunk and get a remote opener. I wouldn't want a nitrous bottle in the cabin, especially in an accident.

laughin, does your truck linning fit over it, or do you just leave it off?

Haha, here's the rest of my interior.

That's the way my interior looks everyday.
As you can see the floor paneling won't fit over the bottle, but if you pull the spare you can mount the bottle there and cut the flooring to accomodate the bottle. We did this one my club president's 10 psi LS and it looked very nice once he was done.

I had a special bracket made for my bottle to be mounted like so...

hp99hp · 12-12-2002, 01:03 AM

all i can say is WOW that is a nice ass setup

MJShelgosh · 12-12-2002, 02:59 AM

Hey thanks.. thats an old pic though... I took off the Altezzas.. and went with the stock ones.. after clearing them out.. and I put in a ZEX remote bottle opener.

PreludeVTEC01 · 12-12-2002, 09:24 AM

is that a venom bottle heater?

MJShelgosh · 12-12-2002, 10:32 AM

Nah... Venom doesn't make a bottle heater... that is the dynotune bottle heater... works like a champ.. and is pressure controlled.

hp99hp · 12-12-2002, 12:05 PM

sweet...that dynotune heater...is that the speedshop one you were talking about? and how much does it cost again?

MJShelgosh · 12-12-2002, 08:42 PM

If you check ebay from time to time.. he has the same heates on there cheaper than on his site...

Padge · 12-12-2002, 10:18 PM

are those twelves? whats it run to get them in the floor like that? I was thinking of doing that cause it looks so nice and so I wouldnt have to remove my subs everytime I took out the bottle.

MJShelgosh · 12-12-2002, 10:49 PM

Yeah 2 JL 12" I would probably go or 2 10"s now that I think about it.. I mean i am happy with what it put out. but my car rattles like a mofo and I have dynamatted alot... If your looking for tight bass.. stick with 2 10" if you want loud as hell.. go with what I got.. I actually picked up the fiberglass box for less than 100.0 shipped... some guy of HP.com was selling it. All the other places that I went to wanted like 900.00 for a custom job like that ... you can imagine what I told them. I found a few good links and some writeups on how to o the fibergalss yourself.. it really isnt that hard.. and itll save you a hell of alot of cash. The one thing I couldnt hide from was the damn bracket I had specially made for the Nitrous bottle.. ( ran me 150.00 ) but I can't complain. its exactly what I wanted and the install looks real nice.. plus other places wante 200.00 for a bracket to be made and they couldnt tell me how they would set it up or bolt it to the car.

Padge... I love your sig.. friggin hilarious!!

I'll take some more/better pics of how it looks now.. with the remote opener installed. As soon as I find the damn memory stick for the thing!
