Sourcing Hobbs switch
I've been trying to find an adjustable Hobbs switch (boost activated). They are harder to find than I though. Most of them are out of stock. I'd like it to be around 15-20 psi range. I'm sure there are more out there, just can't seem to locate it.

I use a nason brand part#cj-2a3-85g/wl. The range is 20 to 120 psi. Very clean on and off function.

Ive got piles on the shelf at work. They are used for oil pressure switch on many thermo king units. I used them for water injection before work great.

My problem is finding them that are normally open, closing around 20 psi.

Yeah, riv can carry one down. You will need to hook it up to air to set to the psi you need. It is set pretty low now. Like 2 psi. But goes way higher.

I'm thinking around 20 psi, but I'll just have to play with it to see.

haven't decided yet. I'm going to tube it in, and mount on the firewall somewhere. I've heard some don't like the vibration & heat. I'm putting nitrous jet in the intake horn though.
