Where did you put the actual trigger? Purge switch/outlet? How hard was it to tap the wet nozzle into our fuel rail?

What safeguards are there aside from the WOT switch.. is there anything to ensure revs are sufficiently up? I've never run NOS, but haven't ruled it out if it can be done with minimal risk and wear.

I think you have the first NOS Elise on record, and I, for one, look forward to your video and long-term experience with it. Awesome work!

With this system, the 'trigger' is simply a SPST toggle switch, which is the one I mounted on the lower seatbelt housing (hard to see on that lousy picture above). When on, the WOT is hot and full gas pedal deflection will activate the system. Nitrous requires you pay attention to the tach, but we should all be doing that anyway. You need to avoid activating the WOT below 3K RPM, and of course hitting the rev limiter. That's where that red light really comes in handy I've been looking at adding a second light, or somehow enlarging the stock one.

The purge is not included with the kit. It's next on my list now that I'm satisfied with the core install. The only item I installed aside from the kit was an inline fuse holder...can't believe they don't supply one. It's connected to a fused accessory outlet, but I like the added redundancy. I used a 10A, which correlates to the relay wire gauge.

BTW, thanks for the other kind remarks...
