Default Zex Nitrous Question?

On the Zex Nitrous Kit for the S-197 stangs...can you run the c ontrol to a push button instead of the WOT sensor. If so, what do i need?

any help will be much appreciated.

You can do that with any nitrous system.

Basically, the system is just a simple circuit. When the circuit is closed ("switched on") it opens the Nitrous and Fuel solenoids, and you spray.

However, practically speaking it is not a wise idea to leave out the WOT switch. Nitrous is unsafe to run outside of WOT. On a typical, well-done, install you will have several switches wired in series in the nitrous circuit:

WOT switch: Allows the system to spray only when you are at WOT.
Fuel pressure switch: Shuts off the NOS if your fuel pressure drops (this can save your motor)
Safety Switch ("Arm" switch)--prevents accidental use of your system. Some people use a hidden or key-lock switch to prevent someone else from using your NOS if they are driving your car.

If you like you can add a "spray" button--that sprays nitrous when you push it--but it should be used IN ADDITION to the above, not in place of any of them.

+1 A momentary switch interupting the activation power feed from the TPS will "safely" accomplish what you want.

cool deal, very informative. Im new to the Nitrous game.

the only reason I was considering a spray switch was because I really dont want to tap into my throttle posistion wire.
