Default custom nitrous switch panel

a good friend of mind has been making carbon fiber sheets for car related things, I figured id make a custom switch panel out of it, and relocated the HVAC control on the ash tray area too

heres some pictures



thanks

Very slick!

Is that a regular 2 1/16" guage, and you had the carbon fiber overlay let the display and buttons poke through? Looks very nice.

thanks man, much appreciated

i shaved the back side down so it sit as flush as possible without weakening the panel, getting the buttons center of the hole was quite challenge, i didnt want the button holes to get any more bigger so i stopped and settle for this result,

im not sure exactly how thick it is, but my friend made that carbon fiber sheet from his garage, his been doing alot custom car parts with carbon fiber and carbon kevlar

heres some of his work

Nice

Just wanted to add that if you plan to use this setup for a bottle warmer (or something) and then go with NANO, the switch is just filling space ...

all the switches serves their purpose bottle warmer included

as for NANO, I used them before, In theory they would work very well, but in real life situation where weather temperature fluctuate by a good margin NANO system becomes very inconsistent and dangerous specially once you start spraying 200 shot and up

it has to do with temperature/pressure relationship to nitrous oxide density

heres a good write up

VERY informative

Love the switches / look but I will stay with a line loc, N20 armed and a purge button...keeping the controller in the glovebox.

No intentions of spraying much, my car will (probably) only need a 50 shot in second gear to run the number (10.0 index / bracket). certinally NOT 200 or more, that's WAY out of my league. Still need to test mine.

I think my NANO regulates 950 psi and is really only intended for use at the track on hot summer days where the car may not run the number or I will arm it and fender race others ...
