Bottle heater Question? I have a NX heater, & the silinoid that mounts on the bottle will not fit with were i have the thing mounted.Witch is in the spare tire well. So can i wire the heater direct to a switch & just turn it on, let the presure come up then turn it off. I know i would have to stand there and watch it, then turn it off.But is this ok to do. I don't want to have to relocate the bottle.

Woah, before you do that....
The pressure switch dosen't need to be mounted at the bottle like the instructions say. You can place the flowthrough manifold/ pressure switch which comes with the kit, where the nitrous solenoid attaches to the main feed line. You probably have room there.
Also, most toggle switches will not last long flowing 240W (18A). If you decide to eliminate the pressure switch at least install the relay like the instructions say. And be sure to use heavy wire and an inline fuse between the black wire on the relay and the battery.

ditto.
Many of the installs I do, I mount the pressure sensor on the front by the noids, thats one less wire to run back there, and 2 less things to disconnect when your changing bottles.
note: this is ONLY for vehicels that keep the bottle on whenever the heater is running </disclaimer>
