Default f22b2 safe nitrous

just bought a zex wet nitrous kit and was wondering exactly how a window switch would work out? Can I still use the WOT switch that comes with the kit? And would the nitrous still only be fed at the set rpm range or would the WOT switch over ride that? And would I need a different fuel pump? (It's only going to be a 75 shot so I'm assuming oem fuel pump should be able to deliver enough fuel)

I am by no means an expert on nitrous but I know electricity. And if you have an rpm switch and a WOT switch, and wire them in series, your solenoid would only operate when both switches are closed. I am not sure exactly how you want the nitrous to work, but it sounds like you want it only at WOT above certain RPMs. Is that correct?

Exactly what I want, so I'd have to wire as series not parallel? Is it possible I'd run into a problem with not providing enough power to one of the switches? (sorry I'm completely new to wiring)

EDIT: then again wiring them as parallel circuit's would cause both switches to operate individually meaning Id be feeding nitrous anytime I go WOT as well correct?

You are correct. In parallel you would hit the solenoid anytime either parameter is met. Series it will only be when both are in.

I thought that the WOT switch was more of a safety than primary activation.

From my understanding both the window and WOT switch are safety switches in the sense that the nitrous is only injected under certain circumstances but since it does indeed dictate when nitrous should be injected I'd consider it an activation switch as well, but of course I could be completely wrong
