I am not saying it does not work. I am not saying that your setup is bad.
I am saying it is wired poorly and poorly installed and should never have been posted with such a poor install saying "this is how to do it".
I have no problem with using a rev limiter (or RPM switch as you call it) as a switch for an air pump (although personally I think it a waste of time when there is a perfectly good air pump already on the engine- but that is another thread/story).
So again my only point is that it is a bad install that should not be used as an example of how to do something. I am sure the job was done that way just because you didn't know better, but ignorance really is no excuse. Do it right, then show it and I am sure people will boost your ego all it needs with commments of "cool Job", "nice idea" etc.
So unless anyone else has anything pertinent to add we should just shut this thread down.

. Ah well, no harm done, right?The OEM airpump method is really quite simple. I will say right now that I can't remember fully how to do it, but I believe it involves tapping into a hose that the airpump pumps air into at around 3800 RPM, and running that hose to the actuators. I'm not 100% sure on that though, so you should probably wait for someone else to verify it.
I think that's about it for me.

this is the write-up i posted awhile back on using the airpump for activation, it is located in the archives:

I have edited several of my posts in my oringinal thread, and added another post at the bottom stating that it's not the best idea to use stock wiring at all for stuff like this. I hope that is good enough for now.

I have to agree with Icemark. That wiring job is hideous. Nothing is tied up, insulated, properly fused, routed correctly, etc. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
I see plenty of "I wired it myself!" owner's cars almost every weekend, and they make me want to vomit. Things like this WILL cause problems in the future, and CAN and DO burn cars to the ground.
It's irresponsible to use something like this as a write up to try and educate others.

Here, use this setup, it works like a charm. No wiring, just good ol' fashioned engineering. I've got it on my 87 NA and it works perfectly. It took less than ten minutes to install, and it works perfectly. http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...r/airpump.html

Hey peeps, guess what I fixed my problem with the psi. I had a hose clogged. I ran carbo cleaner through my air pump and the pressure sensor hose, it fixed the problem now the pump I bought work fine opening up with 5 psi. I also spayed it in through one of the trottle body hoses. Car runs more then better now. Thanx everyone!! peace!!
