nitrous controllers......
nitrous controllers...... what ones are available? i went to the jeg's and summit websites and looked up a few. NOS has two options. and i know NX has their Maximizer. what ones are you guys running and why? and what's the part number and price? why would one be better than another. I just wanted to launch off of a 75 shot and then run it up to 150 or 200 to save as much wear and tear as possible on the car. thanks for any help/advice...

edit-also, by using one of these, does it put excess wear on the solenoids, and is there anything you can do to eliminate this?

Re: nitrous controllers...... ive talked with Colonel about this recently. He has used one on his 5177 in the past. the wear is minimal. dirt will kill em before the PC will.
I would use the NOS. Its proven. start at a % of total and dial in how long it takes to get to 100%. easy

Re: nitrous controllers...... I have the NOS programmable, and I LOVE it! SOOOO easy to use. I actually change settings without looking while I'm driving. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: nitrous controllers...... Ive been running this one for almost 2 years in my car. Its one of the old school controllers. Not one of those expensive high tech ones.
My friend just got one of the "newer" controllers from TNT. Its just like the NOS one above.

Re: nitrous controllers...... I have been checking these systems out -- just bought the TNT set-up. Nitrous warehouse has the "Fred" and the "Freddie" - believe the prices were about $330 and $450. Of course they are going to promo their equipment but looks great. I'll have to wait, to damn much money spent already this winter.

Re: nitrous controllers...... I'm thinking about this setup too.Want a softer hit so my tires don't go up in smoke.
How much wear do they put on the noids?
Any problem using this with a wet setup?

I called Nitrous warehouse and asked about these prices and John literally laughed in my ear. He's saying $499 for the maximizer (FRED) and $399 for the minimax (FREDDY). The minimax is like a progressive controller and that's it, but the maximizer is more adjustable.
I'm debating whether or not I should just build one myself. The only thing that is holding me back is I don't know what the pulsing waveforms look like (frequency and duty cycles). I don't have time to do my own R&D. Does anyone have this information?
