safety/purge solenoid

[FireShadow]

I wanted to double check with you guys about something. I have a progressive controller that says to use a 2nd nitrous solenoid as a safety feature due to the wear on the primary solenoid. Could I use this safety solenoid as a purge solenoid too? It seems to me that it would work out fine.

Re: safety/purge solenoid

I guess it'd be possible IF there are 2 outlets on the 'noid, most 'noids only have a single outlet though. I suggest just getting a gauge adapter, another 'noid and puttin it inline with the other 2 'noids.

Just my .02

I don't even believe this would work:
When you went to purge it would spray nitrous into your intake if you were using it as a fail over,and further I don't even know if you can find one that is a dual outlet.

When it comes to Nitrous installs a very good word that should ALWAYS be followed:

DO NOT CUT CORNERS

if you cut corners you'll pay for it down the road, when installing, testing, and using nitrous always do it right the first time or you'll regret it!

Yup. This is why I double check =)
I will get another solenoid. Thanks guys.

Not necessarily, he could put a separate switch on the second 'noid to control it separately. Hard to explain without a wiring diagram, but it is possible.

Im just playing the devil's advocate. :D

But as said before, a separate purge 'noid is the best way to do it :tup:

Got any pics of the setup?

Re: safety/purge solenoid

I could send you a picture of a crate full of hoses and fittings and bits and pieces =) I am doing the 3400 top end and some other stuff this quarter at school then later this year I will throw on the nitrous. It is a pieced together kit.
