I haven't personally used dynotunes kit, but I have actually heard good things. I hear they're a better setup than Zex (higher quality parts/ built better)

i wanna make sure i understand something with nitrous...

you can have your nitrous where you actually have to press your button to spray... but am i correct in believing that with that window switch you can set your nitrous to automatically spray a little bit in whichever gear you want?

in other words, instead of just spraying yourself at WOT, you can have it set to where it sprays a little bit in each gear on its own giving you a little more constant steady hp ??

Yes, a window switch works by only letting nitrous spray when you are in a specific gear and within a certain RPM.

you can set it to spray between 3000 RPM and 6000RPM, and only in third gear and up. That way, you flip the switch to engage it, when you get on it within both of the restrictions you set, it will spray. Its a really nice safety feature so you don't have worry about hitting your rev limiter, nor running too low

yes, it works with an automatic. and yes, if you had it running freely daily driving, you would be out within a day.

ok imma buy my kit tommorow....but here is my final question...

should i get this dynotune kit, or should i get the Zex kit???? the zex kit features something like "Active Fuel Control™ monitors bottle pressure & adds or subtracts enrichment fuel for maximum engine safety & power"...is that just marketing or is it something it actually does?

You should look into Ny-trex as well. I would only buy Ny-trex, Dynotune and NX.

If you can help it, don't buy the Zex kit but you will want to buy the Zex tC fuel line so you don't have to tap into your stock fuel line. Let me know if you need the part number.

You should look into the Dynotune RPM TPS/Window Switch. You'll need a bottle heater and depending on your bottle location a remote bottle opener.

I had nitrous, loved the juice but hated the refills. Make sure you have a refill station near you and see how much they charge per lb.

I personally don't like that kit.

You get what you pay for, I know its cliche but its true. I got the Ny-trex Triple Threat Kit, that retails for $1000, for $400 brand new. It was quite the steal. I don't know of any kit that came with as many safety precautions and purge solenoid all together. the only thing I added was that dynotune 2 stage RPM TPS since it was programmable and I never had to worry about it.

Don't skimp when it comes to price; just look around and compose a list. It's not always about what you get in a kit but rather you get what's most useful in the kit and not a bunch of BS you won't even use.

also, how did the TPS wire up to the ny-trex kit? i thought the nytrex kit used like plugs and ____ for hteir solonoids to make eeryhting easy to hook up...or did u just splice into it?

There are a few Ny-trex vendors here that can probably work out a deal for you.

Try to PM SickleCell I know on his website http://stancemotorsports.com he has the Ny-trex Triple threat kit for $600 which is still $400 less than retail but just ee if he can do anything else for you.

The Dynotune RPM TPS that I got was a 2 stage even though I only used 1. It has a lot of features and what it did was, this is how I had it wired, it would come on when I flipped my arming switch. So that's the first condition it had to meet. It would only fire at WOT, 2nd condition. It would only fire when i'm at or above 3000 RPM and would stop at 5500 RPM, it also would not fire in 1st gear so first gear lockout. It was wired into my relay that I used for arming as well as to the factory TPS wire which then is programmed into the Dynotune unit. It was clean so it knew when you were at WOT because of the TPS, it monitored RPM so it knew when I was at or above target range, it monitored your tach so it knew when you were out of 1st.

It was an awesome device, I think Dynotune sold it for about $150 or so but I bought mine off craigslist for $70. It was an absolute must have. I got rid of that mechanical WOT switch so its something you don't have to worry about mounting or failing if the mount gets bent.

After I had mine all programmed, I tucked it behind the carpet so it was never even seen.

Yes, it works with the Ny-trex kit. Just about all nitrous kits work the same, its the component quality and build quality that differs across the board.

That particular NX kit will work but it lacks purge so when you spray initially you will be spraying all air until the nitrous comes through the line. I'm sure you can add in a purge solenoid and all the wiring required for it and it will cost at least an additional $200 from NX in which case you should have gotten the Ny-trex kit.

A lot of people think of purge as just a way of showing off, it does do that, but it does offer some benefit besides spraying a 500 shot in the air. You use it sparingly and you don't HOLD down the purge button, you hit it just a little to let the air out the line.

Single stage is what you'll most likely want, it has the ability to setup 1 rpm range as opposed to the dual stage which you can select 2 ranges. Either will work just fine, I just so happened to go with the dual but I never used the 2nd channel so i was used the same as a single.
