2006 Chevrolet SSR - Project Super Stunner

2006 Chevrolet Ssr Two Polished Tips 2006 Chevrolet Ssr Nos Kit
Here is a photo of the NOS kit. This is a wet-injection system, meaning that it injects gasoline and nitrous oxide gas into the throttle body. The addition of the fuel is intended to balance out the extra oxygen introduced by the nitrous oxide.
2006 Chevrolet Ssr Throttle Body Removed
The throttle body had to be removed from the engine in order to install the nitrous plate. First the fuel rail covers were removed, and then the PCV line was unhooked from the air inlet tube. Then, the air-intake flex tube and the airbox were removed to gain access to the throttle body.

The SSR uses a "drive by wire" system, rather than a good-old-fashioned throttle cable. The wiring harness that connects the throttle body to the vehicle's control module was unplugged. Then, the throttle body was unbolted and removed.

2006 Chevrolet Ssr Nos Nitrous Plate
Here, you can see the NOS nitrous plate. It and the throttle body, were bolted on by using the longer throttle-body bolts that came with the NOS kit. Notice the red and blue marked 18-inch hoses that were attached to the injector plate? The red is the fuel line and the blue is the nitrous line. They aren't connected to anything else yet, as of this photo. Next, the PCV tube was reconnected.

The stem was removed from the Schrader valve on the driver-side fuel rail, then an 18-inch fuel line was connected to it. This line was connected to the pictured fuel solenoid, as was the fuel line which was already connected to the nitrous plate at the throttle. This created a continuous path of fuel from the fuel rail to the throttle body. Similarly (but not shown), another solenoid served as the junction of two nitrous lines: the one that was already connected to the nitrous plate to another that will run to the nitrous bottle in the bed of the truck. Then, solenoids had to be wired into the vehicle's electrical system.
