Default Zex Traction control window switch??

Anybody use this Zex traction control window switch with their nitrous kits? I have one and I tried hooking it up to my car to pin 10 coming out of ECM (white wire) but it is not reading the rpm right. Anybody tried to use this before on an LS1?? Thanks in advance.

That looks like the same one Nitrous Outlet sells....made by Trick Performance.

If it is...I used the tach wire on the passenger side coil pack harness.

Which tach wire is this that you speak of? It is a specific color and which harness is it in? The main coil pack harness or one of the wires for one of the specific coils?

The ZEX unit is different from ours...it only has one stage and does not include TPS activation.....it is a unit the is specific to ZEX and is made to simplify installation with their nitrous NMU.

It does program the RPM signal just like ours though.

If memory serves me right the ZEX unit shows RPM whenever the box is powered up....you will adjust the multiplier in the RPM setip portion of the program so that the display in the window switch matches the tach on the car.

Zex box acutally uses a relay inside the box.... only way they can open and close the signal wire with the TPS wire for the zex controll module....
