Default 6-Speed Nitrous Guys

How do you guys have your system set up? I think it would be hard as **** to have it on a button so I suppose a window switch is the only way? I currently have nitrous outlet box but Ive been doing so much to the car I havent even fully installed my kit.

Just wondering what everyone else is doing

Window switch, two step, and a wide open throttle switch. Nitrous is disarmed while the two step is active. As soon as I come off the clutch the nitrous is on.

I plan on running a progressive controller this year so my poor GTO drivetrain will have a better chance of survival.

WOT and Window Switches, along with ramping the power in first.

synergy 2 step and HSW MicroEdge handles the rest. I dont have my 2 step set for nitrous yet so its set at about 5k so im not WOT while on it.

Window switch is the best and safest way.

You need the window switch so you don't spray while at too low of RPM's or spray into the rev limiter, both of wich could be catastrofic. You also need a wide open throttle switch so it only sprays when at full throttle and within it's window switch settings. You also need s a way to take timing out while on the spray. It's not as simple as just hitting a button. You have to be safe or you will pay the price.......Good Luck..

The programmer box I have uses the TP signal to determine when the car is at WOT and has a built in window switch... I thought that was the safest way to go but wanted to make sure.

Also, Frost is local here and has the tuning part of the equation under control with some fancy swiitch

That made me chuckle, lol.

I too am using the MicroEDGE controller. Would also be utilizing something similar to the 2-step to adjust the timing however I just have it pulled out of my custom tune already, 4 degrees to be exact.

I have a Mallory Digital VI for my window switch, and rev limiter and it pulls 4 degrees of timing. Then a wide open throttle switch and a Nitro Dave's switch panel. I have 2 degrees taken out of my tune as well. And I guess I am kinda a noob too, what is this two step all about?

D

Let me rephrase this. I know what a two step rev limiter is . But how and why would you use it in conjunction with nitrous?
