I have installed several new cool things on my Armada; for performance, I installed JBA headers and exhaust, an Injen CAI and a TBS. I was a bit nervous to install a Cold Fusion Nitrous kit to my $50k Armada but I jumped in with both feet but not before extensive consideration to the installation process. It had to be clean and out of the way; I could not chance the wife complaining about it being in the way. I took some time and figured out a pretty cool way to hide a 10 pound nitrous bottle in my 2007 Armada. I hope the pictures come out on this post; from my engine, I ran the nitrous line down the dip stick, on top of the transmission, along the drivers side all the way back to the vents entering the rear drivers side fender compartment. From here, I drilled a hole in the side of the plastic vent cover side panel and placed a rubber grommet to give it a clean finish. I decided to remove the jack and jack storage mounting bracket. I also cut along the inner edge of the cover as to remove all plastic inserts/storage box but leaving the holes to replace the cover. By doing this, I was able to obtain enough space to store my 10 pound nitrous bottle and I figure a lot bigger one would fit as well. When I put the cover back on you will never see the bottle or any plumbing and the vents will allow for easy venting or a clean install of a blow down tube, you might even be able to splice right into the rear air drain tube that already vents to the outside. As for the solenoids, I removed the plastic cover and utilized the brass colored bracket holes by removing the original and replacing it with a fabricated piece of aluminum. This allowed for easy and secure install of the solenoids and routing of the hoses (A 9” section connects from the fuel rail adapter the others are 12” lines). Overall I am happy with the install and not that upset that I had to remove the plastic engine cover, nor do I care that I had to move my jack into the rear floor storage compartment; I like it there better anyways. If nothing else, I have a very large storage area. I hope this post will help some of you.
