Why should Ford and Chevy drivers have all the fun with laughing gas in their cars? Late model Mopar owners have decried the fact that they’ve had to piece together nitrous plate kits from various manufacturers, and finding nitrous parts designed specifically for their cars is difficult at times. This bolt-on kit from Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) changes all that.
The plate is labeled to indicate which side goes against the intake and which goes toward the throttle body. The fuel and nitrous fittings are pre-installed and also labeled.
Vehicle-specific kits have something you can’t find when piecing together an installation kit: detailed instructions. Sure, that nitrous plate you got lucky and found will tell you to install it, as will the solenoids, but they won’t go beyond that. A kit such as this one from Holley/NOS will come with detailed instructions telling you which bolts to remove, which to replace, and where to mount the solenoids. Complete nitrous installation kits also come with all the hoses, fittings, wires and connectors you need for a professional-looking installation.
The plate is made from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, so it’s strong yet lightweight.
This kit, part number 05184NOS, comes with jets for 75, 100, 125 and 150 horsepower increases to the rear wheels for 2005-2016 Dodge Challengers, Chargers and Chrysler 300Cs. The jets to pump it up to 250 more ponies are available separately. The kit can be installed by one person in an afternoon, and the instructions that come with it are illustrated and extremely detailed with zero ambiguity. The kit, if installed per the instructions, is NHRA-approved.
This is the best part about the kit. Whether it’s a red solderless ring terminal or a mini blade fuse in the correct amperage, this kit has everything you will need except the tools to install the system and have it look like the car was designed with the system installed. There’s no mad run to the speed shop during the installation because you forget to pick up a bolt or a bracket for the solenoids, or you don’t have the right fitting for the nitrous or fuel lines. You also don’t have to worry about kinking the hard lines for the fuel and nitrous while bending them, because they come pre-bent for an effortless installation.
The plate kit comes with everything you need to mount the plate on the intake and allows you to piece together the rest of the nitrous installation as your car or sanctioning body requires.
Holley also offers part number 15184NOS, which just comes with the plate and longer mounting bolts. This is for those who either want or need a custom NOS installation. The plate that comes in both kits is only half an inch thick. This allows for maximum clearance for pulleys, tensioners, etc. under the hood.
