Hey Levi,

Thanks man. Are you using that switch to close the ground circuit or +12V circuit?

I think I'm going to use +12V line. So the main arming switch provides on/off +12V for this microswitch. And the microswitch is providing on/off +12V for the RPM switch.

I choose +12V with the microswitch because if it were to be shorted, it just blows out the fuse. Where as with the ground line, it would thought the car is at WOT. And that would be really bad. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


Cemo: Thanks for the pic man. :cheers:

Hey Levi- I don't really drive her that much anymore. She's turned into a serious garage queen. I'm currently putting together a new wheel and tire combo. I think that'll give her a nice presence.

As we all know, satisfaction is time sensitive. She already feels slow as hell after the heads/cam upgrade. I need to try the spray again :yesnod:

Thanks

Tuan- congrats on the new build-up. A stroker with spray is gonna be fun as hell. You have got the mod bug BAD my friend :D I can't remember the last time you weren't planning something. I think I am done with modding my car. There just isn't anyway to fully enjoy it on the street as it is without getting into trouble. When you go to HRP next I wanna tag along.

Levi- Gotcha :cool: BTW, check out this page I put together about my system. It's got that little schematic we put together when you were installing your dry setup on it: http://www.cemozone.com/lolita/c5_n2o_system.asp. It would've been helpful back then. BTW, are you gonna get some Fikses or what? :jester

That looks very trick in your VaraRam ;)

I don't have any bottles for sale....right now anyways. Dual bottles, eh? There won't be any hiding that :lol: :crazy:

Man, I am glad I did'nt ever consider one of the electronic WOT switches. What a PITA you guys have had with them.

I don't have any pics yet, but I cut the plastic pedal stop for the accelerator and mounted mine inside. The switch base is flush with the stop and the metal arm sticks out. I had to be careful on placement because the gas pedal is not flat on the underside. I put mine toward the right side so it can not be seen unless your head is in the footwell.

I mounted mine on the plastic pedal stop also, It is a black switch so it does not stick out. AS mentiond the back of the pedal is not flat, I just luedsome pieces of foam into the back of my pedal to make sure it contacted the switch.
