Take control of boost-activated hardware with the Standard Hobbs Switch from Nforcd. This compact, normally open pressure switch closes at a set boost point to trigger accessories such as a secondary fuel pump or to add an extra safety layer for water methanol injection systems. Simple to install and highly effective, it is a popular choice for turbocharged and supercharged builds.
- Available with 1/8 inch NPT thread or vacuum nipple connection
- Choose your activation point: preset 5 psi or 15 psi
- Normally open circuit that closes at the selected boost level
- Rated up to 6 amps, ideal as a relay trigger for higher current devices
- Great for secondary fuel pump staging and WMI flood protection
- Clean, straightforward installation for boost-referenced control
Recommended uses:
For WMI safety, select the 5 psi option and run the solenoid ground through the switch so the solenoid can only open when the WMI system requests flow and boost is at or above 5 psi. For staging a secondary fuel pump, choose the 15 psi option and use the switch to trigger a 30 amp automotive relay rather than powering the pump directly.
What is a Hobbs switch? It is a simple on off boost pressure switch. In this case it is normally off and closes at a defined pressure to provide a ground signal for your chosen accessory or relay.
Basic wiring overview:
- Connect one terminal to a solid chassis ground.
- Connect the other terminal to the ground trigger wire of the accessory or relay.
