Nitrous WOT switch

[Commander FAT]

Since a lot of our cars are drive by wire how would I install the WOT switch?

I know AA knows the trick for this.

it is realy just a TPS sensor. When the voltage for the TPS goes to a certain value the Nitrous goes on, it i realy that simple

For autoX? :D

There are two potentiometers in the EDK. For safety reasons really. You can tap into one of the potentiometers in the EDK. I would recommend the DKG2 pot, which measures 0% to 100% of the opening of the throttle valve.

Work on it and see if you can find out more. If you have exhausted all avenues, you can always PM me.

EDIT: I assume you have one of those microswitch? If you need to tap into the signal, you will need a voltage comparator circuit to actuate nitrous.

Screw that. Keep it simple. Install the kind that go at the bottom of your gas pedal. When you go full throttle, the button gets depressed.

I would hate to have that..

If and only if the gas pedal is the only variable that controls the throttle plate. This is not the case for our ECUs. Read up on BMW tech documents if you can.

Are you telling me you want the nitrous activated when your gas pedal is not fully depressed?

You go right ahead. It is your motor.
