Stand alone fuel system - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JustaCamaro · 04-17-2015, 09:18 AM

I have a boosted 2010 SS M6 that is getting ready for a small (100-200) shot of nitrous.
I have on good authority that a dedicated fuel system is the way to go on this.
Even a small drop in fuel pressure when the nitrous comes on is something I want to avoid.
I am looking for some advice on what other members have used-with maybe some pictures.
I would like something under the hood if possible to simplify the plumbing.

Here is my setup using Nitrous Express standalone fuel cell.

Thanks, I'm looking for something like that. Unfortunately that is right where my supercharger sits.
On your set up-how close does your throttle body come to the idler pulley?
Just by doing some measuring on my car-it looks like zero clearance.
I am trying to see where the ZL1 systems tank sits in the kit that nitrous outlet sells-haven't been able to find any pics.

Throttle and idler pulley is a pretty tight fit but it works. I've seen guys use Corvette idler pulley. In the new Camaro Now magazine it's an article in there with Fast intake swap that uses that corvette pulley.The Nitrous outlet tank is on the other side towards the front near radiator. I'm my opinion it looks better but at the time of my build I couldn't wait on it I had to have fuel cell the next day for my nitrous setup.

Thanks again for the picture.
That idler you are talking about-is it the stock C5 idler.
That Magazine does not seem to be available here locally.
I don't have much room on the right either. My Vortech system located the coolant recovery tank over there by the ECM.

I had to extend the wire harness and flip the throttle body over in order to fit the plate on mine.

GTKiller how did you mount that stand alone?
