Well, having a masters in electronic engineering for the last 42 years, + stands for positive 12VDC and - stands for 0VDC aka Ground.

Fair enough! It's been a few years since I've been in an electronics class. :-) I just assumed they were using +/- to show the orientation.

That was the point what baffled me because fuses don't have orientations, you can put them in either way. All good.

trohde78 · 08-17-2018, 11:10 AM

I think it's more for the orientation of the entire tap, because it looks like the white wire has to be inserted at a specific connection. I guess I'll find out when my parts arrive and I try to do this next week. haha!

I've also been studying this thread, as the pictures of the actual install make it much easier to understand.

Got my relay and tap all setup, went to install it, and found that I have two issues. The first, is that there is a relay right next to where the tap goes. Does anyone know if I can rotate the tap 180 degrees? The second issue is that all unused sockets do not have connectors that I can use for the ground. There are only two that have a blade connector that are circled in red, but no idea if this is a ground or not.

the relay next to it can be removed. its for the ZL1 intercooler water pump. I removed it My SS. to ground you need to put a ring terminal on it to the ground stud on the outside of the fuse box. The same place you would jump it from.

I see.

I was wondering why there was a relay for a "coolant pump" when the water pump is belt driven. Any chance I can use whatever pin is the ground for that relay instead of going outside the box?

At best, this switches the valves from 'Auto' to Open. I'm still looking for a system that offers full manual control of the valves - Like I want to force them closed, as well as force them open.

set your exhaust to stealth. then it will be open or closed.

Anyone looking for the kit to do this mod? I installed it and it works as described, but I didn't like the fact that it defaults to open at each startup, which requires the remote to set it back to the factory mode. Just looking to get a few bucks back rather than have this sit around, so PM me if interested.

Yeah, not quite. Stealth basically means F all past 5% throttle demand.

what? stealth in mine keeps the valves closed 100% of the time o to 100% throttle

My car is loud af no matter what the valves are supposed to be doing. Only time it is quiet is under very light throttle.

I was looking to do this with a Normally closed switch like this:

O'plaza ®Dc 12V 10A Relay RF Wireless Remote Control Receiver Momentary Switch (12V 1 Channel) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W8V4KQ4..._1DY9BbS6SDXQT

The same as what’s in the pic in this thread, but I notice it’s only rated for 10amps
But the standard fuse for
Npp is 15 amps,
Will this cause problems?
