Any update on this? Did you get the install finished? The on/off switch in the dash looks perfect.

I would try to get it finished and run a wet shot, a lot of people say dry is really risky. Looks like you need some kind of 'Y' splitter/connector that can connect the fuel line and nitrous line into the fuel rail, however I have no idea where you could find something like that. Maybe call the place you bought the kit from and see what they can set you up with.

you got enough money to fix your car and/or replace the engine if things go pear shaped?

it cost 55 to fill your bottle?? here in texas is only 4 dollars per pound. so it cost 40 per fill a 10lb bottle if its empty...but good luck at the strip, you will get addicted to spray. back when i had my civic i started with a 40 dry then a 50 wet then a 75 wet and by the time i was done i had a 115 shot on my 02 civic si (k20a3) the 115 shot shaved 2.5 sec off my 1/4 mile time. w/o spray i ran 15.2, with it i ran 12.9 on street tires and on drag radials i ran 12.6 at 124 spinning quite bad still. i went through about 25-30 bottles in less than a year and i the guys i sold it to says it still runs like a champ. so if you do everything right your motor will last.

then sorry to say, you are being very foolish. "hoping" everything goes well doesn't prepare you for when things don't go well. That engine has a very high chance of blowing, and I'm assuming you are making payments on the car.
So basically when that engine dies, you are gonna be making monthly payments on a car that doesn't run, and you can't afford to fix.

As a fellow car enthusiast who has done some dumb stuff in the past, I'm gonna tell you one solid piece of advice that will save you a lot of headaches.
"don't modify your car if you can't afford to fix it WHEN something goes wrong"
