building your own OnBoardEngineComputer tieing together your ignition computer, with your fuel computer, all with more understanding of everything working together and choosing your change points for everything that gives you more power more efficiently with less driver input so you can concentrate on keeping that flame throwing fire breather controllable on the ground! COOL STUFF, fun and interesting for our brains and ego and the little boy laughing in us!!!
Glad I could help, make sure to check the solenoids on the ramp and make sure they are both clicking simultaneously, ours needs a diode in the ground wire to act right.
I have a question. When trip the micro switch only the nitrous solenoid clicks when both solenoids are wired together if i unhook the nitrous solenoid the fuel solenoid clicks . Thanks
We actually had this issue too. I called customer service and they said to put a diode in the wire to keep it from back feeding. We wound up running the nitrous solenoid to one channel and the fuel solenoid to another channel BUT if you do that you have to make sure the settings in the mini are exactly the same for both stages or things could go bad fast. We wound up selling that kit and went turbo. Guy I sold it to used a heavier gauge wire, like the size that comes out of the mini to ground both solenoids (like a 4 gauge), and ran it as close to solenoids as he could get it before splitting into the smaller solenoid wires, and it worked for him. I am also told certain plug wires can cause this issue as well. When Old Man for SRC used it on his Mailbu he switched to a different spark plug wire just for this reason. Hope this info helps.
@@carlchason6146 all the information is in the video. But if I remember correctly the White with Red Stripe (for channel 1) and White with Blue Stripe (far channel 2) I had running through the Microswitch then through a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch. Then I grounded it out. You can ground out those wires or you can send those wires to a throttle position sensor, or you can send them to a power wire. Once you turn the Nitrous Mini on you have to go in there and program it to what you have those wires set to: ground. power, or TPS.
@@CarportGarageDragRacing the system is all hooked up but before trying to turn on my truck I want to make sure that each solenoid is working and as I do that the red cable for the fuel is not sending the ground
@@CarportGarageDragRacing only the nos solenoid is activating and I check the mini controller all the way back and is the controller thats not sending the ground
@@joelhernandez6506 do you have the black wire for the controller and the main big black wire from the mini grounded? Also the main ground wire for the mini should go to the actual battery.
The big red OR blue should feed both solenoids, then the other side of solenoids should go to the actual battery. If those do not run to the actual battery it will cause issues. I learned this after making this video.

This video has been super helpful getting my mini hooked!!

@@CarportGarageDragRacing good to know...I will
Love the 2nd gens and those minis are great. That’s what we use
For $200 you can't beat it. They have so many features, easy to install, and cheap.
Great video, I'm setting one up now

Thanks for the reply
Update I changed power source to battery and everything is working correctly
@@briansymonds-hf9fm I think I watched a video where a guy mentioned that.
@@briansymonds-hf9fm did you go micro switch to battery? Or solenoids to battery?
So one wire from each solenoid goes into the big blue wire from the mini
Yes
How would incorporate an trans brake interrupt with the system
@@carlchason6146 I did a video on that too
@@carlchason6146 the mini has a trigger wire you can set as ground, 12v, or TPS. I set it to 12v and used a single pole double throw relay.
How did you hook up your micro switch I’m having trouble
Skip to 2:42 in the video and you can see it. It is on the passenger side coming off the front carburetor bolt.
@@CarportGarageDragRacing I meant as far as wiring

I am trying to test it without turning on the vehicle and the fuel cable is not sending ground any thoughts?
Can you elaborate, little confused about the question.
