Default Relay for purge????

I am setting up my HSW plate kit and I am really wondering if a relay is necessary with the purge? Any help would be appreciated thanks Trevor

What does HSW say?

If its a small purge solenoid you will not need a relay. If its a large body style solenoid odds are you do need a relay.

I would check with HSW.

FWIW I have always ran all my purges off a single relay. Don't fix what ain't broke imo. I however do run just one relay regjardless of how many purges I have installed and never had an issue(may have to use a higher amp relay depending on the number/amp draw per solinoid)

Cape T/A: that looks good I am just curious did you drill a hole for the purge the in the cowl or did you just pop out one of the clips that hold it together and poke it thru there? Thanks for the help. Trevor

Think the question has been answered but a relay really depends on where your drawing your power from, wire size to the solenoid and the amount of current something draws. if its like 10amps or less and regular switch should be fine for intermittent use so long as your not using 20 gauge wire and extended time on.. i didnt relay my purge on the nitrous outlet brand x kit. but i also didnt buy nitrous to show off my purging so if your one of those guys that likes to blow a pound of nitrous out at a time just put a relay to be safe.
