Guys,

1. Switched 12v sources, locations? I have a few that I use regularly on these cars. But Im curious as to where everyone else sinks them.

What are yours?

2. 14g enough for 5 switches power? Same with ground?

3. And your mounting your WOT switches where?

4. Inline fuses? The heater is the only one that requires one. But im tepmted to run a couple more.


Thanks guys!

i got this from a nother guy but heres were im mounting mine.

 

Thats not a bad spot at all but after searching the topic there are some downsides to that location.

Mainly that it might not give an acurate WOT reading becuase all pedals a bit differantly.

 

Yes, 14g will be enough to power your switches so long as you do not have any high amp items hooked up to them and they will be controlling relay's. I installed two fuses on my 1 for all of the accessorie and 1 for the solenoids. Did not use a WOT switch just a trick performance based window switch w/tps control. Nitrous Outlet makes a nice little billet micro WOT switch that bolts on to your TB and is a lot more solid that the ones you fab up yourself.

 

So do I even need to use the WOT switch if i have the trick window switch?

That would make sense becuase its RPM activated.

 

I did not use a WOT switch as it is a bit redundent with the TPS portion of the window switch. Some people do if you to go that far with it. When you set up your window switch, you will have to press full throttle (with engine off) and the switch will record the highest TPS voltage and use that as your WOT activation point.

 

Here is a clean way to piggyback the power and ground...

5 switches and a Wideband LED cal switch

 

Beer,

Thats how I ran my power/grounds too. I have 5 switches as well.

How many accesories can you run of 1 source safley?

Tony.

 

The entire panel is powered from one 25 amp source.

Each switch (except the Opener and Line Lock) controls a relay. No issues to date.

Switches are
Arm Dry, Arm Wet, Purge, Line Lock, Opener (Heater is on the Trick Performance V Series gauge)
