Default My switch panel and micro edge

My micro edge came in so I decided to relocate my HVAC controls and make me a custom panel to mount it to along with my switches. I live out of town from where my car is, but as soon as I get a chance I'll head back to wire it all up and test it out. I'm pretty happy with how it came out though so I thought I'd share with you guys.

I had actually brought it with me to work last night so i could make some labels for it. That way if someone steals my car they'll at least know what they do, lol. I need to order another bottle heater, but other than that I don't think I'll need anymore!

And I was just joking around with the slow and fast. That switch will be to toggle between N/A and N2O timing.

I think it looks good. One thing I would suggest would be to wire in the dedicated cell to a master arm switch. Maybe then move the line lock in that switch's position

The fast/slow toggle is funny as hell.

Have you thought about moving your MicroEdge over to the left? When the wires are connected, they will be less visible. If you leave the Edge where it's located your going to interfere with the NA/Nitrous switch.

It's in the glove box. I know it will be harder to get to, but all I ever use is the heater a couple of times a year so it's no big deal to me.

The wire harness clicks in on the backside and isn't visible at all

very nice. talk to beer about engraving your panels for an even more custom look. He can do what ever font you like, in white lettering.

Sorry, I never read your post. Are you referring to how I'm reducing the timing for when I'm on the bottle? If so, that switch goes to my launch controller from Lingenfelter. It can retard up to 10 degrees, but the only bad thing about it is that it won't show on HPtuners during my logs. If I didn't have the launch controller already, I would have still set it up the same way with a switch, but just use a relay and a resistor to to trick the IAT sensor. We set up some of the cars like that down here. It'll read something really high when we hit the switch and then just use hp tuners to set the timing at what we want for those unused cells that's it'll now be in. It's not very hard to do at all and I'm sure there's a write up on here somewhere if you just search for it.
