Re: wiring up all the nitrous goodies
need to know a few things first will you be using a , line lock?, trans brake?, window switch?, fuel saftey switch?, trans brake?, progressive or timer? I have plenty of diagrams, just need to know which you would fit you best. Also you can check at cfn they have lotsa diagrams too.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku this is the relay i was talking about for fuel pump.
http://static.summitracing.com/globa...a7001-snos.pdf and this is the instructions for the nos. its under the microswitch installation. how do i do both of these off an ignition source?

Re: wiring up all the nitrous goodies
I don`t like how the run the power for the noids thru the micro switch, simply put, you want a master arm switch which will activate the system, (aux fuel pump relay and power supply to the realy that will control the nos & fuel solenoids. are using the in tank or block mounted pump or running a seperate fuel system for the nitrous?
here`s a couple diagrams..

Re: wiring up all the nitrous goodies
u can...but those micro`s are only good for 10 amps, thjat`s why everybody uses at least a bosh type relay eventually the circut will fail at the switch. Same goes for your pump, the little contacts in a typical 20 amp switch will overheat and fail eventually. Run your pump that way and after a while take alook at the connectors or feel the switch, resistance causes heat.
Just think what if the micro switch overheated and stayed closed after you lift, the nos and fuel noids will remain on, just m/o use a relay to be safe.

im sorry for mentioning the fuel pump comes with a relay kit, i was gna use a switch to connect the circuit for it to get the power. same with the microswitch, it has an inline fuse. but think itll be ok?

Re: wiring up all the nitrous goodies
the way i have my setup wired: (my setup is for a fuel injected car but same concept i guess)
The solenoids relay's all have a power wire straight to the battery with inline 30amp fuse. 'noids wired to the appropriate relay wires.
master arm switch will send switchable 12v power to the 'noids relays, but its wired to the WOT switch first. Inorder for the relays to activate, the WOT switch must be closed, allowing 12 volt to hit the relays..
Purge system is just a simple push button switch for the purge solenoid. Power and ground: hold to purge, release to stop.
i have the ground for the relay wired to a window switch so it only grounds the relay at certain rpm.
Kinda a 3 way fail safe system. If the Arm switch breaks and constantly sends 12 volts, the WOT switch will be the stop and so will the RPM switch.
If the WOT locks down and i lift, the rpm switch will shut off the noids. Master arm can disable it too. If window switch grounds constantly, arm switch or WOT can be used to shut down the system
If two out of 3 fail, it still can be shut down by the other.

Re: wiring up all the nitrous goodies
my setup used the stealth ram fuel rails as supply to the fuel solenoid. my fuel pump is wired in with the factory harness but i used the racetronix fuel pump hot wire kit which runs alternator voltage directly to the fuel pumpfor more output.
If i was to run a auxillary pump for a seperate nitrous only fuel pump, i'd probly run a master arm plus WOT switch power source to the pump. So it only turns on while the nitrous turns on
