Default sweet idea for N02

Here's a good question. Has anyone in here actually used their cruse controll button to activate their N02? If so please send we some wire color codes and locations so i can set mine up like that.

Cruize control nitrous just sounds like a bad idea.

And im guessing you dont do any highway driving to never use the cruize control.

If it's drive-by-wire, why not have an activation switch and a TPS WOT switch? Much more useful.

I used to have a stealth setup in a V8 AWD Explorer. I had a master nitrous switch. When I hit the switch, the defroster button became the bottle heater button and the winshield washer squirter button became the purge button. It was pretty cool. when the master switch was off, the buttons did their normal functions.

Thats the set-up that I have now. It's pretty simple so I dont have to worry about any brain box or anything like that. but some times I just wish i had a activation button. Its becomes a pain in the *** spraying in first, the gear goes by so fast there's more room for a fuc4 up!

Get an RPM Window Switch. They have the ability to lock out 1st gear spray. Only problem is if you want to race from a roll, it locks out whatever gear you are in until you shift at WOT.

On my G, I used a normal switch on the gas pedal. IN 1st gear, I would not push my foot all the way down...maybe only 95-98%. I setup the activation switch so that I had to really hammer my foot down on the throttle to activate it.

but why would you want to lock out first gear? Nos has nothing to do with gears. Its all RPM dependant, I spray in first all the time as long as you can launch your car right and your past 3000 RPM's it's perfectly fine to spray in first.

LOL!
You said in the early post above that I quoted:
"Its becomes a pain in the *** spraying in first, the gear goes by so fast there's more room for a fuc4 up!"
So I suggested the RPM window switch to control it.
When I use my 150 shot, I have it skip first gear and kick in when I shift into second. It is set to run the nitrous from 3500 rpm to 6800 rpm for the remaining gears.
The 150 shot is too much in first gear.
But for the 100 and 125 shots I reset the window switch to use all gears.

So I was just making a suggestion based off your comment.

+1 Pretty much the most efficient way of running nitrous is with a progressive controller with an integrated window switch and 1st gear lockout. That's what I ran on my '05 GTO with a 150-shot. However, I got the "tune" on the progressive controller good enough to not even use 1st gear lockout. I could spray in 1st on 19" street tires and (by ramping up the nitrous) bring the car up to speed through 1st with traction.

Granted, if you're using a progressive controller, it's a good idea to replace or rebuild your solenoids every year or so - solenoids don't like to be cycled, and that's what the progressive controller is going to do.

well I'm only running a 100 shot. It's just a lot of hand movement to hit my activation switch after 3000 rpms in first gear
