NOS's 5175 Kit questions

[JoeMack]

I was looking for the 5175 kit and found it at thunder racing, but it says it is for 1993-1995 3.4l V6 Camaro/Firebird. Is there a different kit for 96-02 camaros, or would this kit work on my 99 3.8L? And if it wont, where can I find a kit that will? I dont want to go crazy I just want a safe, simple nitrous kit.

That kit will work on your 99 except for the WOT switch, you will have to either get a drive by wire WOT switch or mount the mechanical switch to your pedal.

I have this kit, and it is actually for 93-02 v6s essentially.

5175 will work, and it's what you're looking for.

Install is pretty easy, and since you have a M5 the WOT switch isn't what you want, you'll want a window switch. A lot of people have had luck with the Harlan window switch.

Other than that run all the safety precautions you can and make sure the car is running properly, nitrous will find the weak point.

NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .035
FPSS
Window Switch
bare minimum stuff you'll want

You learn something everyday. I must have missed this somewhere but why is a WOT switch bad for a M5?

[1DangerousV6]

^^^because unless you're a really kick @ss driver...you have to let off the gas at least a little in between shifts...this would make the nitrous turn on and off...with a window switch the injection is all controlled for you...all you gotta do is enjoy the ride [img]smile.gif[/img] (i drive an A4..but thats my theory)

[AZ3.8Camaro]

You still want a WOT switch, but you SHOULD also use a window switch.

You can still be above 3000s rpms and not be at full throttle with a window switch. The nitrous will come on and bad things will happen.

A WOT should be used as a precaution on ALL APPLICATIONS.

You don't want to spray between shifts on an M5 car either, you want the nitrous to turn off.

^^^ahhhhh...interesting to see how it works on an M5 [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice time and mph 1dangerousv6.
Was that just spray? How big of shot?
I am just curious because mine as similar.

wow um no. i wouldnt give advice like that unless you actually know. you want a WOT and a window switch in an M5, as well as a main cutoff switch on your shift knob that you have to hold in to activate the system so you can cut power to the suystem if you miss a shift.

Safety switches for M5:
WOT switch
Window switch
FPSS switch
Momentary switch that activates the whole system when pressed.

[AZ3.8Camaro]

I agree on all of those except the push button. Sure you may spray out of gear if you miss a shift, but the window switch should shut-r-down before reaching the rev limiter, and *should* be fine.

I Don't recommmend missing shifts on spray.

I has the push button setup, it wastes a lot of time, especially when time is measured in tenths of a second. Just my thoughts.

[Nachius]

I did not think you wanted a WOT switch w/ an M5.

I thought that a window switch took the place of a WOT switch, with it being an M5 that has to be at WOT AND above a certain preselected RPM that would certainly hinder a M5 over an A4 for spray.

Learn something new every day I guess.

actually that was with 4psi, 85 dry shot, streets and an open 3.08...but i sold the powerdyne, and just ran a 13.87 @ 100 a couple weeks ago with just a dry 100 shot [img]smile.gif[/img] i dont think my boost and juice were working together

[AZ3.8Camaro]

I ran mine on a 100 shot, streets also.
Sprayed off the line, got a 2.4 60' too.
Haven't been back because of school.
Finally got some et streets though.

Damn right!

WOT is needed
RPM switch is needed
Push button on shifter as COMPLETE master.

Lets say:
You miss a shift, you could meet the RPM window switch requirements.
You miss a shift and go WOT for some reason... you meet the requirements of the WOT and window switch....BOOM!

So, run all 3 :D I would if I had a manual
