Guys take a look at this nitrous schematic... my buddy
want to run a dual stage nitrous set up... on a single
plate... see if there is a easier way to do it OR
if you see any problems
Thanks

wouldn't you want to be able to purge with the system switch turned off, like at the end of a pass

I also think that the wire feeding the WOT switch should not be fed via the relay (just the fuel pump)
I don't know about 2 stage N2O systems but do you shut off the first stage when the 2nd stage is activated ? it appears you are. Does the N2O retard have 2 wire activating it, that seems different from ones I have wired

The purge is to set the bottle pressure before the
run...also he is using the 1st solenoid to take the
load off the switch

I think I would also use a low fuel pressure switch so if fuel pressure dropped to a certain point it would shut down the entire system. Mine is wired into the arming switch ground wire.

Yes it does shut off the first stage and opens the
2nd via the timer.... and as I said above he is using
the first relay to take load off the switch

most people I know purge there system at the end of a pass with the switch turned off, the throttle switch is only controlling the relays so there is no real load on it

Mr. Pbody you need to ask this question over on the bullet. There's way more important considerations than how to wire the purge, in fact everything else is more important than the purge. I am the furthest thing in the world from a wiring guru but I've learned a few things along the way, one of them is forget the low pressure switch(hobbs), not worth the effort. What about the trans break? that needs to be able to interupt the relay to turn on the solenoids. Ask Monte Smith specificly here or ask over on Yellow Bullet and you'll prolly get differing answeres overthere, but most likely they'll be useable.

Like I said this is for a buddy and its a foot brake
truck so no trans brake... I'm hoping Monte will
see this... I really dont go on YB much at all

sorry it looks like all those are for trans brakes, but some include digisets so it's not a total bust.

I like to run a rpm activated window switch. Keeps it from being activated at to low of an rpm and will shut it down just before the rev limiter.

I've always activated 2nd stage off the 'constant live' supply on throttle switch , throttle switch live supply is activated by normally closed side of fuel pressure switch , as soon as arming switch is armed i have the ability to purge through the motor using 2nd stage , i also have 2nd stage on a button on steering wheel.

Mr P

mAke sure the purge works all the time, the reason for this is you need a ball valve in the car. You open the valve right after the burnout and close it on the return road. After closing you want to purge the line so there is no load on the plungers in the nitrous solenoids. this makes the plungers last a lot longer and they are designed that the nitrous goes behind them and keeps them on the seat. If you have the ball valve in the car you are only loading the plunger for 10-30 seconds depending on how fast the car is and how fast you close the valve...Thats a lot better than having the bottle on and there is pressure on them for hour or more, in the lanes driving back etc


....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

He wants to run a timer on it to kick the second
stage so its a constant set up which I agree with

He wont need a rpm switch with only a 50 shot coming
off the line..... we already know this works BUT
was wondering IF there is a simpler way of getting
there.... so far no one thinks there is
EDIT
remember this is a foot brake car.... stages at 2200 rpm

Always used a low pressure switch , NEVER had an issue , as long as the switch is installed & wired correctly no probs , many different wireing variations to get the same result.... know a guy spraying 400 shot that forgot to turn on fuel pump , turns out he bypassed pressure switch. .......motor survived for another season.

I always run a low fuel pressure switch. That's up to you. If you do just be sure to install it on the high pressure side of the regulator. The pressure deviates too much on the low side and would just be a headache as the switch will blip when the fuel pressure has the slightest stumble. The real protection is a fuel pump taking an unexpected dive.

The retard appears to be hooked only to the first stage of nitrous. It needs to be at least a two stage retard and be hooked to both stages. Depending on the type of retard as in how it needs to be wired. Digital retard work different.

Yeah the retard needs to be to both... have to change
that and look at a 2 stage retard

Sure looks like you are running a multi stage retard box the way those wires are hooked up to both stages........something like an MSD8790?...........ask you're buddy he may confirm.

Leon , you are dead on regards those pressure switches fluctuating when solinoid opens/closes , even more so when pulsing solinoids , fitted correctly i've had no issues , bear in mind i use large spreads (high pressure fuel)
