Got bottle in...super happy with how this came out.
Make template.
Cut holes in template.
Transfer holes to bottom carpet...make removable.
Install bracket.
Install bottle.
Stand back and take picture.
I am going to tweak the wires back there a bit but for now it is good.
All thats left is to wire everything to terminal strips under the dash. Then cross my fingers that I got all the wiring right. Nothing has been tested along the way.

Friday night at 8:30 pm this is what I started with.
And at about 12 that night this is what I ended up with.
Went out this morning and started. Got the tps and tach wires routed. Also moved the power for the aeroforce to the fuse panel in the glovebox.
Everything loomed up and looking factory.
Now back to the challenge...
And...done...
And money shot.
Must say I do love these leash relay boards. Really like the LED lights that show you what is happening. For example...I have the bottle heater wired into a pressure switch to turn it on and off. Well when the heater is on and the pressure gets above the preset rpm it kills the heater...it is easy to tell this because the led shuts off. The led's also light when the system is spraying and when the purge is activated.
I must say I love the microedge also. So many features I did not even know it had.
I hit it with a 50 shot tonight...it felt GOOD.

Well this is what I came up with on the purge for now...I still have the long piece of hardline that came with the purge but I also had a short piece I wanted to experiment on. I got it as flat as I could then formed it into this shape using pipe cleaners as templates. I then sanded it with 1000-1500-2000 grit and polished it to a mirror finish.
This is a hard thing to do and keep looking clean. It doesn't really discharge anywhere...just sends an area of mist out of the grills lol.

Looks beyond good. Whats going on with all those terminal strips under the dash? Those just to extend the wires everywhere? And what features does the Microedge have you didnt know about? Does your purge come out at an angle that you can ensure that it is indeed purging from the driver's seat? I know my old man had to move his to where he could see it after he launched with the bottle not open a couple times.

I am also powering my aeroforce scangauge, aem wideband, and nitrous pressure gauge off of the fuse box in the dash. I wired up a provision for the launch control portion of the leash board also incase I ever add it in the future.
I did not know that the microedge had all of the delays. I can delay the initial hit for .01 second all the way upto whatever...so I might have the possibility of spraying in first afterall.
There are also delays between gear shifts if I choose to use them and delays if I ever let up on the gas because of traction issues.
No I cannot see the purge from the drivers seat. IDK if I will keep it there or not...thinking about turning that down at the end and attaching softline to route it somewhere. If I brought it out a few more inches and then angled it up I would be able to bring it out the drivers side hood scoop. Have also thought about bringing it up through the cowl and spray it towards the windsheild.

I have now hit this with a 50 shot and a 100 shot. Everything is acting as it should and everything feels great.
I want to get to the track and try out the 100 shot then up it to a 150.

I have taken it to the track a few times...the problem with our local track is there is little to no track prep for the most part. I'm having trouble getting a good 60 ft time.
From last friday I ran a 12.2 @ 116 with a 2.05 60 ft time on motor. I tried to leave at 3000 rpm with 16 psi in the tires and just spun. I made another similar motor run.
I then made a 100 shot run with delays on the nitrous hitting between shifts. Similar launch and similar 60 ft.
I then ran a 11.8 @ 124 with a similar 60 ft time on nitrous. Something happened this time and I miraculously hooked leaving at 3000...I then bogged to 1200 and had to ride the bitch back up. Here is a video of that run.

Love that bitch falling on its face lol.
DA's were close to 3000 that night. At this track I always run my best times closer to fall.
I will be going back often to try to work things out.

I do plan to really dial things in and learn how to read the plugs as I work my way upto a 200 shot but for now I am more focused on getting the car to launch and get the 60's where they should be. Even though it is a big heavy IRS car with these tires I should be able to get into at least the 1.7 range with my 60 ft.
Great install and write up. I've been thinking about how I am going to install the electronics for my nitrous controllers, I just found it. How are the plastic pieces attached to your glove box?
