Re: how did u wire ur nitrous arming switch?

The arming switch simply enables the nitrous solenoids to be activated. The solenoids are usually turned on by a micro switch located on the throttle linkage. This micro switch can be replaced by a push button, fast and furious style.

The toggle switch is the arming switch. A second switch is needed to enable the solenoids.

You can replace the micro switch with a push button inside of your car so you can control when the nitrous comes on.

Yes, that's the same way mine is set-up, turn on the switch in the dash and as soon as you hit WOT the system activates.

No, works great that way.

Just remember to turn the bottle on...did that once
At least its just running rich but it's a surprise when you slow down instead of accelerating.

Re: how did u wire ur nitrous arming switch?

irishhockey34 was referring to the microswitch. (Also known as the WOT switch) Same switch, different terms...
I used my rear window defogger switch on my RS for an arming switch. (Its on a timer, so I never forgot to turn it off, LOL)

I hate that feeling A kinked nitrous feed line, fautly solenoid or low voltage to the solenoid will also slow you down all of which has happened to me lol. Never have forgotten to turn the bottle on, whew!
