Anyone Using The Leash Single Stage Nitrous Board?

I really like your idea of running the two strips and connecting the wiring there. It's clean and seems like it's an easy and less confusing way of doing it. You and slammin86 have similar ways of going about the wiring. He's running the Leash single stage nitrous board too, but he's also got the Leash big dog fuse block. I guess the fuse block and the two strips you're using really do the same thing in the end because your 12v+ strip is fused via the fuse box, where his fuse block is obviously fused, but that fuse block also allows him to run wires to and from it like the strips do. All this wiring stuff confuses me. If I can visualize it in my head, I'll be fine, but mine is going to be a little more complicated with the purge, NOS Mini and my switch panel (nitrous arm, purge, heater and opener).

I am going to have a relay for the fuse block also but it will be located on the bottom of the glovebox board. I will pull main power from the battery and use an accessory to activate the relay when the car is running.

For me, being a wiring novice, setting it up like LsoneGT has it seems to be simpler. Slammin86, you see any negatives to doing it that way? I don't want to overcomplicate things, but at the same time, I don't want to fry something.

I like to keep a dedicated fuse for each device I run. I'll have a single fused lead coming off of the battery and going to each relay. Then as you can see from my thread I have an individual fuse for each item. This makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot items imo. If a wire shorts out somewhere it only takes out that single item and the fuse pops. Then you track down the issue and correct it.

Well, I'm going to begin wiring up the switch panel tonight. I'm going to wire mine up like you did yours, as we have the same switches. I'll have the NOS Mini, so the green wire would run to the NOS Mini, as opposed to the Microedge like you have. That is the only thing I see that I'll need to do differently.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to diving more into it. I think I've got it all planned out in my head. The Leash board makes it much easier because there is a port I can wire the purge wire coming off the switch plate, as well as a port to wire in the arm wire coming off the switch plate. I'll then just tie in the NOS Mini white wire into the arm wire so I'll be good to go there. I'll get a fuse panel that I'll put in the glove box area with my Leash board that I'll tie into the battery positive and have 12v+ sources for all the 12v+ switch panel switches. The heater will go to a 12v+ source and then to the actual heater itself. When I wired up the switch panel, I y'd in all the 12v+ and ground wires, so there is only one wire coming out of it, which makes it cleaner looking and simpler to install.
