Stand alone questions. I am going to be running a stand alone and was wondering what the best way to set it up would be. I have a nitro daves kit btw.
Questions....
Should I just wire the pump to an in car switch for when I am ready to use it?
Should I get an in car Fuel pressure gauge to monitor it?
Are there any specific ways/materials etc. that it has to be mounted?
Thanks,
Joe

I have mine set up on a switch, but I imagine you could wire it into the nitrous master switch. You're going to need some sort of gauge on it to dial in fuel pressure because of the adjustable regulator. I run my gauge with an electric sendor into the cab. Do not run a mechanical gauge into the cab. Other than that, it's a pretty simple setup.
Mine is wired so when I arm the nitrous it triggers a relay that turns on the stand alone pump, so there's no way I could forget to turn it on and burn down the motor from a stupid mistake!

LIke everyone has been saying, wire it to turn on when you arm the system. Don't wanna make a mistake.
I have a mechanical gauge running right off the regulator and I have a electrical gauge inside the cab so I can monitor it there while I'm driving, and have a gauge under the hood to tune the fuel pressure with. I'm trying to figure out how to wire up a switch so I can use one fuel pressure gauge to monitor the engine and standalone pressure and then just switch between "signals" when I need to.

I always wire them up to the main arming switch so that its on regardless.

Joe,
You have been given some great advice above. Arming the dedicated to the arming switch is the safest and best way. Our dedicated should have came with a relay and a wiring diagram. If you need the diagram again let me know.
I always put a fuel pressure safety switch on my dedicated installs. This way if the pump fails it kills the nitrous system. We have liquid filled shock resistant gauges in stock if you need one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Dave
