Default Wire Heater to N2O Arm switch

Any problems with doing this?

Or should I have a seperate switch for both?

I'm wanting to have an ashtray switch which only has basically 4 positions... Looking to do:

L-Lock, N20 Arm, Purge, and was wanting to leave one free for a Bottle Opener. But if it's not recommended I'll just do something different for the Bottle Opener and have a Heater switch...

Thx Guys.

You need to seperate the the two. You will always have to turn your bottle heater on first to get your bottle temp up on cooler days. Then arm the kit right before you spray. You dont want to run around with your ntirous kit armed at the same time.

You don't want the heater on while you're going down the track either. That's another good reason to not hook it up to the arm switch. That heater and the solenoids both draw a lot of amps. You want to eliminate any unnesesary draw while racing if possible to keep electrical gremlins at bay.

also make sure that you dont have the heater and nitrous wired into your fuse box going throught the same circuit. It will probably blow the fuse. YOu should have the heater on its own circuit but yes you can wire it on that switch panel.
