Cooling Mist Install - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, actually pretty simple once you know where to hook things up. I way over-complicated it at first. Once I stopped over thinking things it went pretty quick. I'll post a few more pictures this weekend, travelling and still waiting on my gauge pod for the final install.

Mounted the tank with ratcheting tie downs for easy removal. No electrical is hooked up in the trunk, it all runs to the fuse box, under the back seat then the side molding.

Once I stopped doing it the hard way (Under the car) and did it this way it took less than thirty minutes.

Wiring looks more complicated than it is. I did a fuse tap into the secondary power plug.

Here's the existing firewall hole way up above the dead pedal, routing the meth line and boost line through it.

Installed the nozzle just outside the filter for the best distance.

I'll check in again this weekend and post more pics answer any questions.

Cool did you find a boost plug place , for the gauge, will do this mod next

bigsquirrel · 07-18-2011, 11:21 PM

Yeah, plug on the back, pain in the arse and it's bending my tube. Gonna have my tuner look for a better spot when it's in, I'll post pics of that this weekend.

Caliman93230 · 07-18-2011, 11:33 PM

Cool what gauge are you getting ?

bigsquirrel · 07-19-2011, 12:12 AM

The cgms controller is a boost gauge.

SC2150 · 07-19-2011, 08:23 AM

Were installing the same system today.

bigsquirrel · 07-19-2011, 09:36 AM

If you find a better spot for boost could you post a picture here?

10aSSee D · 07-19-2011, 10:19 AM

Good looking job! Ya that wiring looks intimidating!!! I will probably go with this kit. Don't need the boost gauge though I already have one installed on my Maggie just need to put it on my whipple once installed.

bigsquirrel · 07-19-2011, 10:24 AM

I thought the wiring looked tough to it's really not.

stanwilliams · 07-19-2011, 10:26 AM

The 1/8th pipe plug under the drivers side fuel rail should be boost under load. Any place in the manifold will be boost. It will also be show a vacuum until you place a good load on the motor. Same as any place under the blower on the manifold.

bigsquirrel · 07-19-2011, 11:14 AM

I swear I put it there first and got vaccum.

Caliman93230 · 07-25-2011, 03:57 AM

Any updates ?

epstein · 07-25-2011, 07:47 AM

you will get vacuum......... until there is a load on the motor
