I've setup a system with a 1 gallon fuel cell located in the engine bay of another type of vehicle. Added a fuel pump to the setup which allowed me to run on pump gas for daily driving and race fuel for the drag strip. It allowed me to avoid fuel pressure drops and maximize the nitrous performance. Although a setup like this probaby wouldn't look pretty in the IS-F.

.. Not running a progressive setup / dual stage + wideband on this car is pretty much asking for trouble. If you are looking for longevity, make sure you get it done right.

"Everyone" is an expert on the -F and Nitrous itself, so you will receive 1 million opinions. I ran my car w/ the direct port setup and was very happy, although I ended up getting rid of the -F (unrelated to nitrous!) before I had the chance to test my final setup. I definitely had my fair share of issues but none of them ever manifested themselves beyond the nitrous system itself (eg, nitrous leaks) except one incident that caused a repeat cylinder misfire (enough to trigger a check light); the -F will actually happily tolerate cylinder misfires to an excessive degree before it starts to throw errors. Not sure why.

I agree about the nitrous part. Fortunately being a dealer of nitrous and installer...I kinda know a couple of things about it. I just can't stand the haters that have never used it, but had a friend that blew their Honda Civic up after using a 350 shot. lol

Does anyone know if this will work as a fuel system tap option for the F? I would rather not tap into the fuel rail if there is another option. Also does anyone know the fuel line size? Is it 10mm or 8mm? Thanks.

10mm is a pretty safe bet. But just to be sure hold a 9mm bullet up to the line if it is bigger then it's 10mm, if its smaller it's 8mm...
I really am joking here guys... but it would work... I mean really whom doesen't have a few spare 9mm's laying around the house...:-)
