Using a 2 step with nitrous

[Steves LX]

I am buying a 2 step today and was wondering how this thing gets wired up since I will be using nitrous from time to time. My nitrous kit is a Zex Dry kit. It activates at WOT through the TPS sensor. The last thing I want is to arm the nitrous and have it activate while sitting at the tree trying to activate the 2 step. I would like to try this out this weekened at TnT before the first UMTR next weekend. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I use to have my nitrous and 2 step wired up just like you. Nitrous on a WOT switch...2 step on a button on the shifter handle. When I ran nitrous I would just not go WOT at the line...i would just roll into the throttle enough to bring the engine rpm's up against the 2-step chip. Then just mash the gas/dump the clutch on the green light...worked fine for me for many years.

Sounds easy enough. I talked to MSD and he gave me some stupid schematic saynig I needed a relay and this that and the other. So I assume that with the button one side goes to the wire off the two step and the other wire on the button would go to a 12 volt source.

A relay is there to help I used one when I wired my stuff I would use it. It's to make sure you use the correct amps and it also gives some what of an extra safe guard! some people I know wont wire anything in there car without a relay like shannon(kennebell) I think he has like 10 or somthing if you got it wont hurt but it could save you one day.

Put you nitrous on a window switch and put the window above the two step. Then it will only spray if you are above a certain RPM as well as WOT and will shut it off before you hit the rev limiter.

I agree a window switch is a needed part but no matter what use the relay!!!!!

Just wire the wideopen switch to deactivate when the 2 step sees power and to activate when it does not. Like you would a trans break. use the relay to send power when it is closed to the twostep and to send power when it is open to the WOT switch.

use a relay to cuts power to the ZEX NMU while on the two step.

Releasing the two step button will allow the nitrous to start working if powered. Might be a slight delay, but this can be a good thing. Allowing the car to start moving before arming, less chance of blowing the slicks off.

IMHO no need for a window switch. Set the fuel rpm cut about 500 rpm higher than the revlimiter chip for the MSD. Kill the spark, not the fuel. You might get a big bang out the exhaust, but mufflers are cheaper than a motor!

I exploded a muffler once with ZEX, scared the people behind me!

Yeah, bite me, it was on my Honda, but same simple priciples apply.

theres a wiring diagram over on the corral that you can use.
relays are a must.
on my old capri dropped my 60ft over a tenth all motor ,being floored on the 2step at 6200 versuses trying to hold it then flooring.

spray it off the line...

spray it off the line...

Werd! you dont need a window switch on a 5 litre. The 2 step is just looking for a ground to activate. Run the wire from the box to a momentary push button switch and the other side of the switch goes to ground. Gimme a call Steve.
