So john will shut up, here is my nitrous install (pics inside)
#13
In the box below the dash i have found an ignition hot, which is tied through a switch and fuse to control the relay which is getting 12v from the alternator post. Remember, Use a relay to control the noids, it allows a low amp circuit to control a high amp circuit.
I hope that made sense.
EDIT:It was late when i posted the above, it sounds like im and idiot, so let me refraze.
In the power box below the dash (to the left of the brake pedal) I found a Keyed ignition 12v. This goes to a fuse block (i installed myself) through my master switch to the relay. It is what gives power to pin 85 on the relay (pin 86 is grounded) giving the coil power to trip the relay on. Pin 30 on the relay (pin 87 goes to the noids then they are grounded through a window switch i have installed) is getting power from the alternator, but you can use any 12v source really just make sure again you fuze it so you dont burn anything up.

I have a 6 circuit fuse block that powers all my goodies.
Its got a 4gauge wire off the lil red box under the hood that feeds the block.
i cant remember how many amps a Solenoid pulls.

ha, i have 10ga wire and 25A fuses feeding my relays for the Noids. and a 12ga wire and a 10A fuse on the purge. Also have them feeding my Arm switch and LEDs just incase a fuse blows, you will know right fast.
