  • Nitrous question

    I just had a question. I just got a single nozzle wet nitrous kit, it was nitrous express and its universal single nozzle kit. I got it for 300 bucks from a guy that didn't need it. Anyway, its never been used and everything is there for the most part. My only question is that the v6 has an electric throttle body and I have a micro switch in the kit that is normally used on a wired throttle body, so how should i go about placing it, my only thought is to use the actual cable that runs from the gas pedal to the throttle body.

    Thanks, bob

    Many people have had success placing it under the gas peddle.

          So how exactly is that done? Do any of you have instructions, or any type of picture of how the microswitch is setup on the gas pedal.

          Thanks, Bob:)

              I had mine where the TB cable comes up at full WOT and it would activate it but if it is computer controlled then under the pedal would be best for a WOT switch.

                or you could buy a digital one made for electric TB's

                      If it uses TPS voltage to determine WOT you could have a catastrophic failure if your TPS goes bad.

                          If your TPS goes bad, you shouldn't get any voltage, and therefore won't be seen as WOT. I haven't heard of anyone having that problem, so I'd say they're pretty safe.

                            FWIW...I've heard of a few dudes on FTV6 that had some issues with the elec TPS switches and a few people on LS1tech as well. To me its just another piece of electrical equipment that could potentially fail. I've never heard of a microswitch failing. To each their own...

                              Say it mistakenly reads WOT voltage below 3000 rpm,you would be bending/breaking rods or breaking the crank if the nitrous engaged at that low of an RPM.
