In LSR, on board fire systems are required above 150 (requirements increase with speed). Many use FireFox, perhaps because Joe Timney at Delaware Chassis works gives us good prices. It's one of the things on the docket for my Camaro.
I'm guessing you COULD make a system, but by the time you got the tech inspectors to buy off on the bottle(s), nozzle design, trigger mechanism, etc, it probably makes more sense to buy a package.
I run a 10 lb three nozzle system. one nozzle in the engine compartment, one over the fuel cell and one in the driver's compartment. Cable pull on the dash.
You'll need to mount the actuator, nozzles and the bottle(s) and then run lines between them. As you can imagine, the kits are necessarily generic because even if they knew what kind of car its for, fuel cell placement, roll cage design, etc. varies from car to car. Just simple line running, though. I think Greenjunk's is plumbed in copper, if memory serves. I like SS tubing but it's probably not required (as I said, I haven't actually done mine yet).
Go to <ecta-lsr.com> and look in the who we are section. There will be a link to Joe and his shop phone number. Keith is in there and Todd - NARider. Also a link to me - of considerably less value!
Also, spring for the extra dosh for the 6.5 lb. bottle rather than the 5 lb. - regs are heading toward requiring 6.5 lbs. for both engine and passenger compartments.
