How many of you are spraying without a window switch? I know, I know; I probably need a window switch. But, I have tuned for the nitrous and it's at a safe AFR. I have an MSD timing twister pulling out timing. With my Yank ss3600, if I flash the converter on nitrous, won't it flash past the 3000 mark fast enough to negate the worry of spraying below that rpm? Or should I foot brake as high as I can before leaving? I am going to spray thru the shifts and have set my rev limiter at 7200 to avoid hitting it. I want real world experiences, not "Joe has a window switch, so you need one". Thanks in advance.

 

A windowswitch is cheap insurance. I can not begin to tell you how many times I have seen something happen a simple 150.00 windowswitch would have prevented.


In your case... Food for thought.

Car bogs, hesitates, stumbles etc for what ever reason.. The windowswitch will make sure the nitrous does not come on.

Driveshaft breaks, rear end lets go, transmission slips, u joint brakes, etc the windowswitch will shut the nitrous off before it over revs up to the rev limiter.

Put a window switch on it.

^^^^^x1000

Dave told me the same thing about a year ago, has saved my motor about 20 times. No brainer....

 

it reacts faster than you do. check the classifieds if you dont want to buy new.

As mentioned, very cheap insurance for you guys with mild combo's, and a lot of stock parts.
Anything can happen, and a little extra safety never hurts.

I'm spraying my camaro with out one. I've been lucky that I havnt had any issues with my ignition system making the car bog or my clutch turning loose. I have one I just need to stop being lazy and wire it up. I will deffinately install one on my vette when I finally install the nitrous kit.

 

these guys are right it is cheap insurance but for some crazy reason i havent bought one myself and iv been spraying it with out one for 3yrs now but im sure my luck will run out soon though

 

my old car i ran one but for some reason i did not buy one for this car. but i do agree that it is cheap insurance. i thought i could wire it up to trigger through my hp tuner but have not figured that out yet

 

I ran a some bottles through my Probe years ago with out a window switch and no issues. But I bought one with my current system.

Your feelings are correct that the converter will flash well past 3000, and if you are spraying through shifts then you don't need to have the top end shut off.

For $100-$150 it is foolish to run without one, and I am probably the cheapest person in this thread.

 

I guess the verdict is in. Thanks

 

I havent ran one on my car in 3 years ive had nitrous on it, but...... my car is an auto. It should be a must on a 6 speed.

 

same here.

 

x3 on the stick car thing ive been doin perfectly fine without one as an auto. but as they say if you can afford it go for it if for nothing else just some piece of mind

 

I do not run one either and I am auto. My system is also on a BUTTON instead of wot switch and all. But don't copy my setup lol

 

I've been running a window switch since I'v had nitrous. It saved my motor many times, (missed shifts lol)

 

Im an auto, but i was running the HSW Microedge, just to be safe. You can still spray throught shifts, its just a level of safety should something else happen.
