This is my first N20 Install ever and want to be a 100% sure I dont screw it up. So here goes:

1.) Is it ok to wire my 12v straight from the jumpstart box in the engine compartment, instead of from the cig lighter or trunk battery? and is it ok to use the same ground located on the hump? Also what size amp inline fuse should i use?

2.) I have a air/fuel cutoff device that connects to factory o2 sensor, which wire do i splice into?? (Real nervous about that).

3.) Same A/F cutoff switch somes with a built in TPS switch, witch wire do i splice into?? I know its the one that connects to the intake tube but what color is the specific wire??

4.) What kind of screws is best to use to mount the solenoid brackets? I bought some black hex body screws with pointed tips. Can i just torque these in tight and they wont come lose?? Or do i need something with a hex bolt like the mounting brackets for the bottle?

5.) Has anyone mounted the bottle in the right corner of the trunk behind the wheel well? I removed the carpet and theres just enough space, but when i got under the car it looks like the subframe is in the way for the left two bolts on the brackets. Is there another way to install this, like drill thru the frame and use two very long bolts? I really need my trunk space and would love to have the bottle in that location.

Ok so far with a little digging and suggestion from friends ive come up with this so far...

3.) Same A/F cutoff switch somes with a built in TPS switch, witch wire do i splice into?? I know its the one that connects to the intake tube but what color is the specific wire??

SOMEONE TOLD ME ITS THE BROWN/ORANGE STRIPE WIRE, SO IM GOING TO TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT

THE GUY AT DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS SUGGESTED I USE PERMA POXY 4 MIN. MULTI METAL EPOXY. HE SAID IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THE BOTTLE EVEN WHEN FULL AND IF NOT I CAN ALWAYS WELD THE BRACKET ON.

GOING TO BOND IT ON USING EPOXY.

cant believe you didnt get any answers to these questions.

i would stay away from the epoxy.you are going to be taking the bottle in and out of the brackets alot and you might as well just bolt it down with a good old nut and bolt.its a pain but it will never break or come loose on ya.just do it right the first time.

and yes the wire you are looking for is the brown w/orange strip.
