switch for WOT
Im after a switch that goes on the TPS (throttle position sensor) and switches on at wide open throttle.
What am i looking for and where do i get one

You can get a lot farther with a kind word and a gun than a kind word alone
Mount a micro switch and relay in. micro switches will be readilly avaliable at tandy or dick smiths.
ok, can i have more info on a micro switch and how it works

Check out www.jaycar.com.au and choose the categories "switches" and "microswitch"
Those are switches with a good range of travel so with some creative gluing, or making a bracket out of metal, you could easily position it on the throttle body so it closes on WOT.
You should also think about shielding it somehow from water and dirt or finding a water/dustproof microswitch.
Out of curiosity, what do you plan to switch with it?
* Phreddy's Blaupunkt Aux input and line out mod
* 18x8 inch Equus Kalibur Wheels with Maxxis MAV-1 235/40R18
* Sureflo 3.5 inch medium-loud cat back exhaust
im trying manifold water injection for fuel economy and cleaning

If you want something a bit more reliable I'd look into either a reed switch (small currnets only) or a hall switch (needs some electronics) The advantage of this setup is that there are no exposed mechanics in the engine bay.
Fuel economy at WOT? Be honest.

you should be careful, have a safeguard in place for applications where you reach WOT before the engine reaches a safe RPM for the amount of water you are jetting into the intake. remember, the idea of the water is to pretty much atomise before it hits the combustion chamber. that is the way it reduces intake charge temperature........Originally Posted by chevy_big_block_bro

ive put a microswitch in and only activates relay on WOT.
being a 5 speed I only hit WOT in 2nd and 3rd as its too much for 1st gear.
all im waiting on now is injector from hinterland
