anyone had good or bad luck with the TPS activation switches? comments?

 

WOT sw under throttle pedal is more dependable, imo. Also, a cleaner look.

 

I have never used one. Only ever had a WOT switch under the pedal.

 

TPS will give the cleanest install but does cost a bit more than a standard micro switch and bracket.
Several companies out there make custom brackets to fit different cars.
Nitrous Outlet has a billet one clean install and not much money.

i bought a micro switch off egay for $8, premade to fit the ls1. got it in the mail the other day, looks great!! cant wait to install it to see how it fits.

 

Throttle body mounted switches

 

yeah mine looks exactly like that $30 one. i wonder if the guy i bought it from can get more or if it was a one time thing, $13 shipped.

 

The guy you bought it from actually bought it from us (Jimmy Jam's) originally but his business went under so he's selling off everything for really cheap........

 

We do both styles, a switch at the gas pedal or the TPS. They both work fine. Throttle mounted switches would probably be the last choice. Vibration, heat and water, the switches take a beating. The TPS switch is fully potted, adjustable and reliable.

ahh cool i thought i remembered seeing jimmy jams in the instructions, coool.

 

I had an NX fancy pants switch thing, and it was a PITA
i swaped it for a 50 cent micro switch.
and if it goes bad, its 2 wires and cheep. i keep a spare right in my tool box.

 

I just firmly believe in the mechanical one on the throttle body versus anything electrical or one on the pedal..........you can NOT go wrong with one right there on the throttle body...when it goes wide open throttle- it's activated and bam- you have activation at wide open throttle. Works every time, no questions.... :-)

 

what was a PITA about it?

i was really more interested in how reliable they are and the cleanlieness of the install. now that i am aware of the custom TB brackets, i wil probably go that route myself.

THX!

 

You can't get any cleaner than this, and I believe mor reliable. Cost is only a couple bucks total.

 

setting it, wiring it, making it work with my other parts (t-break, timmer ect)
the micro switch for me was much better
but i still have the NX fancy one, it was used like 2 times. lol if you want it, i'll sell it 1/2 price

 

um, you talked me out of it. microswitch it is. thanks again for the input everyone.

 

whered ya get it?

 

I prefer the NX switch for a vette since you cannot put a microswitch on the throttle body.
