Default Does anyone make a NOS tune?

Seems like a cool thing to do and with all the capability we have with tunes these days. Just an on-off type thing. Squeezing or not. Adjusts ignition timing, checks for fuel pressure, throttle position, rpm, 2nd gear trigger, etc.

This would be cool. I don't think our ECU tuning programs have the ability to use an input. I may be wrong but thisuthis is only available with stand alone systems or a true tuning program. Waiting for RR Racing response with this.

The tune could hijack a trivial input and use that as an enable input. There must be something that is usually not needed, like the SNOW mode select.

It would depend on if the program has the ability to use inputs.

Joker, didn't you have a N20 setup?

I actually really want to do one myself. I wouldn't do more than 100 shot and would do as many safety measures as possible to protect the engine & tranny.

I've been tossing around the idea of buying the SC kit from RR but honestly, it just doesn't make sense for me $$$ wise. I wouldn't use the SC to it's full ability on a regular basis and like the idea of just being able to flip a switch and get extra HP and only be putting stress on the engine & tranny once in a while vs all the time.

Yes I have a wet nitrous setup on my car right now actually. How many times I have used it, maybe just one 10 lbs bottle in about 3 years or so. I guess I don't do enough racing.

I like the NOS option because it is cheap and can give a boost when I want it. There's so much capability in these ECMs to monitor the engine unlike the old days when you had to be careful.

How big of a shot are you running? What all do you have hooked up? Purge, auto warmer, gauges etc.?

I think I have a 120 shot or something. I have a heater, purge solenoid and a NOS wide open switch controller. I monitor what the afr are using the stock sensors and Torque Pro or the OBD Fusion app with a Bluetooth adapter.
