I would like to know as well.

Also:

What type of bracket are you using for your microswitch on the cable driven LQ4 or truck intake?

Pedal switch. Why the push button? I just use a window switch, activation switch and a pedal switch. All 3 must be closed before any gas is released.

What he said. Very least a toggle to arm the system (turns the solenoid on) then a WOT or a momentary switch to spray. I used a momentary for stealth purposes.

the push button I mention would be a momentary...
I want to hold a momentary button down...mash the pedal to wot to activate a micro switch @ the throttle cable "cam" and then release the momentary right after launching

was gonna wire the momentary and the solenoid to a relay and instead of grounding the momentary, run it to the micro switch...

that was my thoughts on wiring it up anyway...am I not looking @ it correctly?

So you want a micro switch that's activated at WOT inline with a push button that you push right after launch to engage? So the push button is dead until the micro switch is activated at WOT?

Mine is wired up like this....


Power to the Master arm switch..
Arm that switch, then the purge and WOT switch have power.. Always have my hand on the arm switch just incase..

Also have to wire up the 2step to the nitrous.. so when the 2 step is armed i can hold the pedal to the floor, then when i let off the brake the nitrous sprays..
