Default Harlan 2-step/tbrake/nitrous help needed!

Ok so i re-wired the tbrake and set the harlan 2 step like this

12V Ign directly to the tbrake solenoid

ground to the momentary button on the shifter than to the tbrake solenoid .the brake works great .

i tapped the white wire on the harlan 2 step between the button and solenoid to give it a momentary gorund while holding the tbrake button.

I can get it to work but i have to tap the momentary 1 time to arm the 2 step. than hold it the 2nd time the 2 step works and will release when i let go of the momentary the 2nd time.

The problem is my tbrake botton has to be pressed for reverse to work on my glide. so its turning the 2 step on and off as i use reverse. I could wire a toggle switch in it so the 2 step is not in the circuit until turned on but thats just 1 more thing to remember at the line. i like to keep it simple. is there a way to wire it so the arm and on function works with only 1 push of the momentary? I dont want to have to doubel press it. And a revlimiter in reverse woun't hurt me so this would be ideal.

I tried putting the gray and the white togeather to both get the momentary ground and also giving the gray an all-time ground. neither worked.



2nd question. I have never used the 2 step. how acurate are they at stoping the revs? I want to start with it set at 3K and have the nitrous come on almost imediate. I could wire another relay so it will send 12V to my FJO so the nitrous will not be on on the brake but i have enough electrical **** i don't want any more. so what is the fluctuation on these boxes? will 200 rpm be enough of a window to keep it off on the brake?

I tried asking in the external section but noene likes to reply in there. I figured this would be the best place for a reply.

im not real sure on the wiring on that 2 step. my synergy one has a togle tho. i leave it on all the time but it would limit the rev's in revers if i had an issue tho, i could shut it off and use revers how ever.

as for timing. i ran my 2 step at 3k with a 10th delay in the timmer and never had an issue, so im guessing in 1 tenth after my brake was reliesed im sure it was around 200-300 rpm so im going to say you should be fine with that. just dont turn it to low i did have a back fire leaving at 3k no delay.

Does the Synergy 2 step have the pre made plug in conectors or do you have to cut and splice?

it goes into my computer doesnt even run to the coils. just taps into the wire on the computer then goes in with my switches to the brake ect.
my computer is under the dash and not 1 wire from the 2 step runs under the hood. its very nice.

You can use one (think it's double throw single pull) relay, that gives ground to the fjo at all times until you trigger the relay with ur tbrake button and then it will take ground away from the fjo (killing ur nitrous) and send it to the 2 step (forget which one I had it on, either gray or white wire on the harlan 2 step, but one gets ground all the time and the other just gets ground to activate it, so the one to activate it would be the one from the relay). And if you didn't want it on in reverse you could put another relay next to it that is controlled by the nitrous arming switch to give ground to the two step on/nitrous off relay, so only when ur nitrous is armed (already at the line and not having to use reverse for anything) will it switch the two step on when the brake button is depressed.

if you call synergy, ask for peter. if he isnt in ask for his cell, tell them you want a custom 2 step. call peter tell him exactly what you have and he will make it however you want, and custom length wires ect ect. its easy to use and works very well. i did one in my car and tims black SS both work great. adjustable every 100 rpm it is off about 100 rpm tho, but not bad at all
