These are for racing BUT they are effective and covers the engine bay with one nozzle. OR you could put BOTH nozzles in the engine bay. ( 1 on each side) And the liquid agent is soap based I believe so it won't eat thru wires or corrode other Valuable engine parts.

You can recharge them yourself and they are relativly small and won't steal too much space. Mount it in the rear cabin or one of the bins if there is room.

I am ordering a set with 6 nozzles for my track car(94 R2) 2 nozzles in the Bay, 2 in the cabin( 1 on the floor under each seat, 2 by the fuel cell.)

Sorry about the fire.

If anyone replaces fuel lines MAKE SURE you use the high pressure fuel injection hose from the parts stores. ( if you just ask for fuel line you will get low pressure line. the high pressure is tested to 350+ psi I think. Also the HP fuel hose is about 8 bucks a foot. So it aint cheap but worth EVERY penny.) Cause engine fires are always more $$$.
