some questions i came across while reading the install book that came with my kit:

1. doesn't an iceman intake already have a location to screw the fogger nozzle into? if not, how far into the intake should i drill from the throttle body - inches? (i'm assuming i should port it into the intake right?)
2. where did you mount your solenoids?
3. should i really go under the vehicle with the braided hose, or just go through the firewall (passenger side) and under the center counsel under the rug to the trunk compartment?
4. when connecting to the fuel rail, do i already have the "test port"? will the 4AN fitting fit the threads?
5. will alot of gasoline pour out when the Schrader valve is removed?
6. what exactly is a tire valve core wrench? where can i buy one? this is what you are supposed to use when removing the Schrader valve.
7. did you have any problems mounting the microswitch? (did the metal have to be bent or anything?)


thanks a million, Stan... PJ

Sorry not stan again :) But I will try to answer some of your questions. I'm sure Stan will see this eventually :P

I won't answer this one or at least not all of it cause some I don't remember.
No the Ice man doesn't come with a hole, it has a knobby thing but don't drill there.

On the firewall on the passenger side

Probably better off on the outside. Less trouble anyway.

It won't really come shooting out or anything, just have a rag handy.

It sort of looks like a chuck key for a drill, well at least in shape.

>where can

We got ours at Fleet Farm but you can probably get one from most any auto parts or large hardware/Wal-Mart store.

Yes.

This a kind of figure out what works kind of deal I know we had to play with ours awhile befor it was exactly right. Trial and error.

hey michelle, this is funny you might be interested...

i was at the local car auto speed shop, installations unlimited (auto-options.com) and i wanted to order my NOS kit through them. i was talking to a guy there, and he said that i needed kit #5132 or 5123 whichever it may be. and i was disagreeing saying that there is someone on the 2gnt forum that has the exact same car (year and everything) and she has the 5208 kit. well, he calls NOS and the guy at NOS laughs and says that the 5208 kit will NOT work on our cars. i "need to go with 5132" or whatever. so then he asked me what the site address was, and i gave him it. and he pulled up your message that comments we should (96 and newer) use the 5208 kit. i told the guy that i take your word (michelle) over his, and since you've already installed and had no problems with it, i want the same kit as you. he said that i will be sorry in the long run, then, i left.

hope this shows you guys how much i trust you.

by the way, i'm looking at the 5208 kit right now, it's still on the shrink wrapped sheets, but it doesn't seem like there is two differant size nozzles (50 shot and 75 shot)... is there? or does the 5208 only come with a 75 shot nozzle?

thanks

How much did you order yours for? And how many shots is it?

Keep in mind I have a dry kit so everything might not apply to your kit

No the iceman doesn't have a fitting for a nozzle. I drilled right where the iceman angles near the battery on the bottom of the intake (you cant see it from above. Its a straight shot from there.

>solenoids?

Right on the firewall

You probably should go under the car but I did just as you suggested under the passenger side carper through the firewall. Even if the line ruptures there is no danger under there (I've had it happen. Keep the line off metal surfaces as much as possble to prevent that from happening. I dont think the supplied line would have been long enough to run under the car.

>4. when connecting to the fuel

I've only heard of one person who claimed not to have a test port on their rail. There's a 99% chance you have one. I dont know what size it is. On a dry kit you dont need to open it except to install the fuel pressure safety switch (optionally). The kit includes an adapter fitting that fits but I'm not sure the size. Ask 96NOS they have a wet kit installed.

>5. will alot of gasoline pour
>out when the Schrader valve
>is removed?

Pull the back seat up and remove the connector to the fuel pump. Start the car and let it run until it runs out of gas. That will depressurize the fuel system. If not just open the valve slowly (like a shaken Pepsi) and catch the fuel with a rag.

>6. what exactly is a tire
>valve core wrench? where can

I dont know what the hell a tire valve core wrench is. Buy a schreader valve removal wrench.

>7. did you have any

Yes it required bending the mounting tab and a few washers to raise it high enough off the TB. Takes some trial and error to get it right. At least there's a threaded hole on the TB already in the right place so you dont have any problems bolting it on.

He he, 5208 is the right kit, and i'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones running it. The only reason I could see that would confse that guy would be because it is listed for the turbo cars instead but works perfectly fine on the N/T's. Makes you wonder lol :)

>>>>by the way, i'm looking at the 5208 kit right now, it's still on the shrink wrapped sheets, but it doesn't seem like there is two differant size nozzles (50 shot and 75 shot)... is there? or does the 5208 only come with a 75 shot nozzle?<<<<

The kit comes with 2 50 shot jets and 1 nozzle (the jets go in the nozzle). The nozzle should be blue (ours is) and sort of shaped like a Y. The jets are the only things you replace when you go to a higher shot, nozzle stays the same.
The jets look like this (see pic) and each jet has a number on it. (022 and 037 for the 50 shot ones) From what I remember the smaller number is the one for the fuel as we had them backwards when we first did ours and the car would just bog from the excess fuel.
