dude. the system already worked as it was done before.

This is pretty much the set up i have.

i would totally redo my wiring, but the thing is working fine as it sat. i got this instructions from a very trustworthy site. [Wink]

i haven't even installed the window switch. the toggle swith works fine.. from what i hear.. if you have it set up as in the graph i posted above, then the ground from the wot should be the one connected to the yellow wire..
pd, what do u think, on that graph none of the terminals go to ground.

ha.. cool. thanks for the help. so the ground from the window switch should be low enough to be handled by the window switch?

you can't school me.. i'm the vicepresident of team cummins, remember? [Wink]

and if your system works then your "positive" side (like you wrote) of the wot switch must actually have continuity to ground when at wot. So it would not be very positive at all!

See my above post where I laid out how I would do it. Here is what I wrote just in case you don't want to read it.

"85 of relay to wot switch to grounding wire from the window switch. One side of the wot switch goes to grounding wire from the window switch and the other side goes to 85 of the relay."


And here is what I wrote in regards to your grounding question:

"Basically the window switch will provide a ground at a desired rpm and this will finalize the loop and complete the circuitry in order for your nos to work."

So yes there appears to be no ground for the terminals but the window switch will provide the ground for these terminals when you reach that desired rpm

ok. i actually reread all your posts.
i have the set up you explained on your second post. with the solenoids connected straight to ground.. no ground on the relay.
85 does go to the wot. and then the ground from wot goes to yellow on the window switch , correct?

The confusion is that you mixed up 85 and 86 from "standard" practices and procedures. That is perfectly fine to do though just as long as one terminal goes to + and the other one goes to -. The relay knows no difference if you swap terminals. So for you, 86 is the grounding side and 85 is the positive side. Your 30 and 87 are correct. Let me reword what I wrote in accordance to how you have your system wired. That may be more helpful.

1. 12v ignition to arming switch to 85 of the relay. Your arming switch should also have a ground which is there for the lighting circuitry when its armed. You should have 3 terminals on the arming switch. One goes to 12v ignition, one goes to 85 of relay and the last goes directly to ground. Terminals should be labeled on the arming switch.

2. 86 of relay to wot switch to grounding wire from the window switch. One side of the wot switch goes to grounding wire from the window switch and the other side goes to 86 of the relay.

3. 12v battery to FUSE to 30 of the relay

4. 87 of the relay to positive wire of nos/fuel solenoids. Negative wire of nos/fuel solenoids directly to ground.

i see what you are saying..
there was a confusion. i do have the 85 terminal going to the wot. and 86 going to the toggle switch.
i got them mixed up when i typed it first.

I only wrote the 1st way just because I looked at your diagram and you wrote [- solenoids] which made me think that you wanted to switch the grounds of the solenoid with the window switch. I don't like doing this. I wrote the 2nd way because this is how I prefer to do it.

And yes you are correct in what you said above the ground side of the wot switch will now go to the grounding wire (yellow) of the window switch.

When your window switch reaches its desired parameter it will ground that yellow wire internally and your nos will be activated. You don't see the ground in the diagram because its done internally in the window switch. You see how there is a regular ground wire (black) of the window switch that you must connect to a chasis for ground? Basically when you hit that certain rpm the yellow wire and the black chasis ground wire of the window switch will make contact internally in the window switch, thus the system ground and SPPPPPRRRAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY.

FnF baby! Nos button = OHHHHHH SHIIIIEEEETTTTTT!

Probably, they are very strick there. They didnt let a friend of mine run because the insides of his front tires were close to bald.

I was thinking they "most likely" won't stop you because of padding. .02

Goodluck everyone [patriot]

I'll be out there March 1st [burnout]
