Some will be/can get more complicated than others. Wiring a FJO for instances into a Zex kit gets complicated as you will have to run a relay around the nitrous management unit that comes in the Zex kit (which is basically a w.o.t. switch) and change up some of the wiring, when you could just use the Zex window switch and the WOT switch it already has. See what I mean?

But you shouldn't have much of a problem. Check out the stickies if your new to nitrous and call and talk with nitrous outlet for any of your needs they will really help you. Also, talk with your tuner most have a preferred controller that they like and are familiar with.

FWIW... I was also under the impression that the Microedge has a digital window switch incorporated in it already. I wont be running one so I don't know much about it.

No, not me personally. However, you can do a search and see if anyone else is using one. But there are many other places that sell plate kits. We really need more info about your set-up, and your best bet would be to start off with something smaller than a 200 shot and getting comfortable and working your way up.

Do you already have the kit? If you do have any questions NOS is a sponsor on here shoot Kyle@NOS a pm and he can set-up with a window switch for your set-up. If the kit comes with the micro switch in it, I bet they make a window switch that is designed to work with it, much like my Zex set-up.

A window switch is a must in the event or a over rev or missed shift. Check out Nitrous Outlet as well. But from what I have read NOS makes a killer controller or window switch I cant remember what it was. Also is your looking for NOS stuff Mike at SKspeed will give you the best deal around. I cant believe his prices sometimes.

Just the Zex LS1 wet kit with a Nano. the solenoids are contained in a box so I think that makes it look a little less cluttered but this limits how big a shot I can spray as the solenoids are smaller. However, plate kits look pretty awesome in my opinion. Wiring just takes some thought about how your going to run it and then loom it up.

Came with the WOT and the window switch is separate.

Try and keep your questions in as few of post as possible, its hard to keep up and makes the thread harder for people to read if they found this in a search.

good luck with everything
