Well I went out tonight to test out the nitrous set up. Right before I tested I made sure I wasn't leaking anything and had the bottle pressure at 1000psi. So I get out to run it. I toggle the arming switch and get ready to be sucked into the seat. I hit the push button switch. VROOOOOOMMM, felt like a motor pull. Toggle the arming switch the opposite direction, maybe I had it backwards. Hit the push button, VROOOOOMMM, still a motor pull.

So I narrowed it down to my wiring skills and relay. Hot wire is hot, relay clicks when toggled by switches, but no power at the other two leads on relay.

Here is my expert CAD drawing for my wiring setup....






Hot wire is hot as well as hot wire lead on relay.
Toggle Switches lead on relay is also hot.
Other two leads on relay have no power anytime.

Also tested another relay, still had power only at the same leads.

Im sure it is a problem I have it wired, Probably the way my switches are configured?

are you sure the bottle was open?

Would it purge?

LOL Yes, I had just hooked up the line.


Didn't purge it, but the line did move around(just like a air hose once it is connected) when I connected it.

Isn't the point of purging to make sure you bleed the air out of the line?
Edit: nevermind, at that many psi it wouldn't make much difference

I think I know what the problem is, this pic shows how the relay is supposed to be hooked up....



Pin 30 - 12v Power.

Pin 85 - Earth.

Pin 86 - Switch.

Pin 87 - Switched power out #1.

Pin 87A - Switched power out #2.


What does "earth" mean?
Which "switched" lead should my switches be connected to?

Well, testing this, with the 12v power wire on pin 30, 87a is always hot, but when you turn the switch on, it kills the power.

hopefully during the day someone will chime in. I could only figure it if i was there. There's several guys on here that have had to wire it up way too many times.
