1.0 Introduction to your Edelbrock 2005-2007 Mustang GT Nitrous System 1.1 General Information The Edelbrock Performer Nitrous System (Part Number 70410) is designed for the stock to slightly modified 2005 to 2007 Mustang GT. Horsepower and torque increases can vary with equipment upgrades and modifications. The system a plate that is installed in between the throttle body and intake manifold. Both nitrous and fuel are delivered through this nitrous plate.

2.0 Nitrous System Installation 2.1 Nitrous Bottle Mounting The nitrous bottle is an aluminum cylinder, designed and manufactured to withstand very high pressures. The valve on top of the bottle is a high-flow design that allows easy opening and closing which controls the nitrous flow to the engine compartment. Accurate calibration of your nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature.
PAGE 7
2.2 Bottle Orientation Accurate calibration of your nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature. Choosing the proper location and orientation for your bottle can greatly affect the overall operation of the nitrous system. Please read the entire bottle mounting instruction section before making your final bottle location decisions. Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your nitrous system.

2.4 Nitrous Feed Line Mounting 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2.5 Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line too close to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle. Feed nitrous line along proposed route. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle. Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive.

2.6 Nitrous Plate Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2.7 Disconnect the throttle body from the intake manifold by removing the two nuts from the studs on the lower portion of the throttle body and removing the two bolts from the upper portion of the throttle body. Remove the two studs from the intake manifold. Place the nitrous plate in between the throttle body and intake manifold with the nitrous inlet facing up as pictured below. Place the supplied gasket in between the nitrous plate and throttle body.

Most common installations locate these components close to the battery.
PAGE 12
3.5 Wiring 1. Verify that the battery is disconnected. If it is not, remove the ground strap and place it away from the battery to keep it from shorting out. 2. Locate the red wire with fuse holder and affix it to the red wire on the “WOT” module with the provided butt connector or you can solder the two ends and then heat shrink, if so desired (required soldering iron, rosin core solder and heat shrink not provided in kit).

6.0 Troubleshooting Your Edelbrock Nitrous System How to use our Troubleshooting Flowchart: The troubleshooting of a nitrous system is basic and straightforward. The symptom chart is divided by symptom, cause and action required. Determine your problem (symptom), identify the potential problem (cause) and correct the problem (action required). Symptom #1… There is No change in engine speed when system is activated. 1. Double check to see that the system is wired correctly. a. Compare wiring to schematic.
PAGE 15
Symptom #5… Engine detonates heavily when system is activated. Inadequate fuel delivery due to: 1. Plugged fuel filter. a. Inspect fuel filter. i. Clean or replace filter. 2. Crimped fuel line. a. Inspect fuel line. i. Replace crimped line. 3. Weak or inadequate fuel pump. a. Install fuel pressure gauge. Run engine under load at wide-open throttle, with system activated and monitor the pressure. i. Repair or replace fuel pump. ii. Install nitrous dedicated fuel supply.
PAGE 16
Symptom #6… No change in performance when system is activated (Continuation) 9. Loose nitrous solenoid wiring. a. Inspect solenoid wiring. See “Electrical System Installation” section. b. Consult a book concerning proper wiring methods. 10. Malfunctioning nitrous or fuel solenoids. a. Inspect solenoid wiring. See “Electrical System Installation” section. i. Repair wiring. b. Inspect solenoids. See symptom #2. i. Rebuild/replace solenoid. Symptom #7… Engine detonates mildly when system is activated. 1.
