Should this work?

This is how my system is wired, but I can't seem to get it to work. This should work shouldn't it? Any suggestions on doing it different?

Re: Should this work?

Can you post the relay pin numbers? If they are right it
should work.

Re: Should this work?

Yeah, we need the relay numbers and which rpm window switch are you using? Do you have a fuel pressure safety switch installed as well?

To isolate the problem, you can jumper each component out one at a time.

Re: Should this work?

No fpss, MSD window switch 3000-5800. Relay is supplying power to solenoids when all switches are made, grounds all good.
Seems to be working....I thought I would "feel" a difference. I don't. I took the CAI off, got a flashlight dicconected one solenoid at a time, had the wife come out and rev to 3500 while I tripped the WOT switch, saw it spray all three times ( once just the fuel sol., once the nitrous sol., once when they both were hooked up.) Plus it had that "smell". Also has that "smell" when driving so I'm assuming all is working. I'm going to have to get it to the track or race a friend to see the difference. Its jetted for a 100 shot...might bump it up to 150.

Re: Should this work?

You should absolutely feel a 100shot. How much nitrous do you have
in your bottle and what is your bottle pressure?

That might be whats going on.....the bottle is full...however its been really cold up here and I haven't got the bottle heater wired yet. Bottle pressure is right around 600-650 and I see its suppose to be at 1050. Would that make that much of a difference?

Yes, it would make a big difference. Get your bottle heated to
900+psi and let us know how it feels...you'll be happy you did.

I got heater wired up last night with blanket over it. It took a good hour to get from 600 to 900psi. Should it take that long? Is that a sign that the bottle is empty? I know the heater was working...it's hot I did find a leak on the fitting on bottle that the line connects to. The larger threaded portion was leaking...don't how long or much. I always keep valve off unless I'm ready to spray. I know this is a stupid question...how do you know when your bottle is getting low? By the way..once I got it to 900...still didn't feel any difference.

Re: Should this work?

If it took an hour to warm up to 900psi it appears you
are low on nitrous. The best way to find out if your bottle is
low is to weigh it. If you have a ten pound bottle it should
weigh ~14lbs empty and 24-25lbs full. I try to have at least
5lbs of nitrous in my bottle for it work properly.

Another way to test your nitrous is to purge it. If it comes
out snowy white then it's good to go. If mainly air comes out,
time for a refill.
