Hey guys this is a chart to help you choose the correct size wire when wiring up your nitrous system.

good info

 

Thank you. I thought it may be useful to some...


By the way this chart uses a 2 percent drop..

 

Way to go Dave Excellent Thread

Back to the top for the do it your selfers

 

Maybe this could be added to the sticky about wiring.

Good info

 

When we make things idiot proof here on the rig, I usually remind the guys that "they" will just build a better idiot and mess up our new found process or information...

Here I am the better idiot...need some more info.

To effectivily use this chart the avg guy (like me) also needs to know how many amps each component draws: ie Heater +/-, relays for the Noids, switched side to the relays, Heater relay, opener +/-, purge w/o relay etc...

 

I was just going to ask the same stuff Jim. I would like to know what the Nitro Dave's noids use as a draw? I am sure for the other stuff like heater and opener you can get a decent base off of what fuse you are running in the wiring. Most Dynotune stuff I beleive likes a 25 amp fuse.

 

I just figured anything sending power or receiving power from the 12v should be at least 10ga anything sending a signal. at least 14ga. nothing burnt up yet lol. Good Info anyways right click save

 

Most noids are between 25-30amps, heater 20+, switched of relay usually around 150mA (less than 1/5th of an amp), mechanical opener abour 2-3 amps. These are not the hard exact numbers for every component but will get you pretty close, purge is less that 5 if I remember correct.
