Re: i need advice

ok i figured it out... it's only the element that comes in the package... =(

it's easy to blame my ignorance, but being new to nitrous and seein on that same page "thermostat,switch,wiring all included" kind of led me to believe it would all be in there!!!!!

FFFFF*****CCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK


ok, i'm calm now. the thermostat costs 33$, but what else will i need, i can't find a switch kit anywhere. can someone please tell me how to jerry rig a switch or find the kit i need to buy.

thanks

Re: i need advice

The thermostat should cut the heater off once it reaches the right temp, so all you need is a toggle switch to turn that on. No big deal :)

O, and check out this site: Nitrous Forum. Almost any question can be answered over there if it's nitrous related :)

just any standard on/off switch will work. You don't want a momentary one, you want one that'll stay on when on and stay off when off

Re: i need advice

You will need a relay as well. They are very important cuz bottle heaters use a ton of power. The good thing is that relays are only around $5. I might even have a spare one, I'll check my tool box tonight.

Re: i need advice

My heater is just straight wired off the on/off switch works good, used 12ga. wire , for safety though a relay is recommended. I also have a electric nitrous pressure gauge to watch the PSI of the bottle.

Re: i need advice

That's the same link I sent ya last night :P. A standard 35A relay will work; the harness plugs right into the bottom of the relay, and that's where the colored wires come into play. Like I said, swing by a store today and pick up one and the harness and a switch and you'll be set.

Re: i need advice

i get it, i have to buy a relay AND a harness for the relay.

but will the relay harness i buy have the same color wires as the one in the kit?
