Default Re-wired my nitrous

I actually did this a few months back, but I figured I would share it.

I added a progressive nitrous controller, fuse block, and worked a electric cutout into my switch panel.


My pile of parts



Im pretty picky (or crazy) about some things so first I drew out a wiring diagram. It helped out a bunch though when I was actually doing the wiring.



This is while is was straitening out the old wiring mixed with my new parts.



I made this plate of aluminum to fit in the glove box to mount everything to since I didnt want to drill holes in the actuall glove box.



My switch panel wired up



Some of the wireing done and labeled



The wiring all done





I was really wanting to get the microedge+ but I they appearantly quit making them shortly before I ordered my parts, so the next cost efective progressive controller I could find was the NOS mini progressive controller, it also has a dual stage feature.

Thanks! It actually didnt come out as neat as I had hoped for, but fitting all those wires neatly into that small of an area is tough!

I got the fuse block from auto zone, and the terminal strip (which I used for my grounds) from radio shack, they had a jumper strip for it so I jumpered it all together and ran my main ground right in the middle of it. The labels I made for the wire are a heat shrink tube, I printed those off of a Kroy labeler which I have access to at work.

Its my N/A - N20 switch. My tuner wired that up to my ecu, I believe it uses a resistor to trick the computer into thinking the engine is running hot so it pulls timing when the switch is on. My tuner has it set to 8* of timing I believe. Its also wired in series with my arming switch so the nitrous will not activate with out it turned on.
