So here is my idea... Im getting a NX nitrous system that works off a push button (you hold it sprays, you let off, it stops). my idea was that i get http://www.oznium.com/gsw-45 for my turn on switch and for the bottle opener... and here is the real Question...

when I hit the turn on switch (not the spray button) can it send a signal to a relay or something that overides the out put from the cruise control ****?? so I turn it on and Im ready to go so i push the SET/Coast and hold it down and it fires the n2o, and when I de activate the system it still works the cruise control.

Im sure it can be done, obviously with some work, but I just dont like a lot of buttons everywhere. plus this way i can keep both hands on the wheel and I have to take my hand off the switch to shift....

basically in an if/then statement version of what i want

 

Wouldn't you still have to take your hand off the switch when you shift even if it is the cruise button? o.O I'd say try to add a button to the left-hand side of the steering wheel where the stereo controls are at.

 

no i do want to keep both of my hands on the wheel, thats the point.... and I dont have any radio buttons on my wheel.

 

yeah i agree if you use the cruise control switch it is on the right side of the wheel and you would have to take your hand off the switch to shift.

Unless you wanted to use the on/off part of the cruise control switch so that it would stay on until you turned it off.

Another idea would be to put the switch on your shift **** where your hand will be anyways.

 

Buy a window stitch for the nitrous setup and you wont have to worry about it. Turn it on. And start driving, the nitrous will spray at a given rpm, or throttle position. All hands are free to drive. And this is much safer than a push button system.

 

but then it's not Fast and the Furious style and his floor pan can't fall off and have 7 gears...LOL

Good point though.

 

i foot switch in the dead pedal...

 

ok well since no one would like to actually have any input pertaining to the question, I guess back to drawing board...

as far as a window switch, I just dont like splicing into my harness and what not.

and like i said in the original and then in then in a reply... I WANT TO TAKE MY HAND OFF THE SWITCH TO SHIFT!!! i dont want to get caught up in addrenaline and forget to take my finger off the switch and push in the clutch.

you can think that i want to be be brian spilner like if you'd like but i just dont like hacking in to my harness.

 

It is possible to do it, but you would still need to "hack" into the harness to interrupt the Cruise signal wire... All you need is like you said, a relay that would turn <on> with your "on" switch, which would divert the cruise wire over to a microcontroller with an A/D converter. Short program in the microcontroller runs in a loop watching the A/D converter input, when it gets the right resistance value from the cruise switch, it turns on another relay that's connected to nitrous solenoid. 2 or 3 parts tops, plus the relays. But have to cut cruise wire to install, and run 12v to the switch. Edit - now that I think about it, you don't even need a microcontroller chip, just need a comparitor chip and some resistors. They run on 12v too, so you save 1 part, the 5volt regulator / power supply. (still need your switch and 2 relays)

 

umm people did respond to the original question and you didn't specify that you wanted to remove your hand from the switch to shift in the original post so loose the attitude.

 

actually he better loose the attitude since my post was asking him how he was going to shift and not take his hand off the button. The cruise button doesnt just stay down by itself you know. And he response to that was that he DID want to keep BOTH hands on the steering wheel.

ME: Wouldn't you still have to take your hand off the switch when you shift even if it is the cruise button? o.O I'd say try to add a button to the left-hand side of the steering wheel where the stereo controls are at.

HIM: no i do want to keep both of my hands on the wheel, thats the point.... and I dont have any radio buttons on my wheel.

 

to clear it up : I want to keep both hands on the wheel when I am holding the button. and that I want to be forced to take it off when I shift.
