Nitrous Oxide Install

Its traditionally known that with a nitrous kit, all you have to do is set it up and youre off. For beginners, its a matter of trial and error (plus repeated trips to the track) to find out what works the best for you. For seasoned vets, if your motor is receiving its third rebuild, then obviously you knew youd pushed it too far. It really is challenging to get your nitrous kit dialed in! If it were easier to do, wed have done it already. Actually, Venoms done the hard part for us. Its new PC Nitrous System is the first of its kind to be extremely user-friendly and can be configured easily like Neo and The Matrixs kung-fu tutorial program. It features drag, linear, and timed modes; low-bottle detection; and an optimal air/fuel ratio at any bottle pressure. Best of all, you can install it in quick time (roughly two hours) and can get it programmed through your PC in just a few minutes. We had Venom school us on how to install its VCN-2000 Nitrous System on a 98 Civic sedan, so well show you the same. Off the bottle and totally stock, this typical family car puts down a not-so mind-boggling 88.8 hp on the dyno at Harvs Performance Center. With the nitrous fully dialed, the max power was greatly blown out with a final 150.2 hpthats a 61.4hp increase!

1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Locate a path to run the wire harness. You’ll have to remove the factory airbox in order to get to the throttle body where you’ll hook up the throttle position sensor.

2. Using the supplied connector splices, connect the yellow cable on the Venom Main Harness to the TPS (throttle position sensor).

3. Next is the oxygen sensor. In some instances, there may be a one-, two-, three-, or four-wire sensor located on the exhaust pipe. Once you locate it, you’ll connect it to the main harness wire that is color-coded white.

4. You’ll have to find a signal that controls engine rpm input. You can find this signal from a few sources: ignition coil, tachometer lead, or DIS module (if equipped). Venom used a tachometer lead located back toward the driver-side firewall on a wiring harness that leads to the instrument panel.

5. The Venom valve assembly should be mounted within 2.5 feet of the nitrous entry point into the engine. The nitrous will be injected into the engine in the air intake just before the throttle body. You can mount it conveniently on the passenger-side shock tower. Connect the power and ground wires of the valve assembly to the battery, and connect the four-terminal connector of the main harness to the valve assembly.

6. This kit also provides additional fuel to the mix by supporting the addition of nitrous through the existing injectors. This is done by pulsing the injectors with the Voltage Supply connections. Make sure this step is done correctly, as incorrect installation can result in engine damage and/or misguided operation. Venom recommends that the electrical connections involved with the injectors are tested with a digital volt/ohm meter.

7. Connect the power and ground for the module by connecting the red wire to the positive terminal and the black to the negative terminal or chassis ground. Secure the entire wire harness out of the way of any rotating engine parts or any parts that get hot enough to melt the cable insulation.

8. Select a location within the passenger compartment to mount the VCN-2000 module. There are plenty of places in a Civic to mount it to and no, putting it underneath the rear seat cushion will not work.

9. You should also mount the LCD display somewhere that is easily visible. Again, putting it under the rear seats won’t work. Here you’ll be able to monitor engine rpm, air/fuel levels, throttle angle, mode (linear, drag, or timed), injector pulse width, and system status.

10. Run a 2.5-inch nitrous hose from the valve assembly to the air intake (this will be the point of entry for the nitrous injection). Make sure it’s positioned before the throttle body.

11. You’re almost there! Now route the 20-ft nitrous hose from the valve assembly to the trunk by going underneath the vehicle. Make sure you avoid the exhaust and any braking and suspension components. The nitrous bottle should be mounted at an angle with the bottle’s valve at the highest point. The valve outlet should be pointed downward, toward the floor of the trunk.

12. Lastly, download the nitrous programming software into the nitrous module through your home PC. Here you can set the parameters for which the nitrous will be used (linear, drag, or timed). After you’ve done that, download the program into the nitrous module and hit the tracks.
