Nitrous install pics....or lack there of...
got everything installed today. Bottle filled and started spraying. remote bottle opener to come in a few weeks followed by purge and heater. Didn't take any pics of process. but took some of final result.....anyone see it?
engine bay with cover
engine bay without cover (those nitrous lines will be tied down better tomorrow)
BHR Spacer
Nozzle in spacer
Spacer and Nozzle
Wire Tapped
My switch installed
Switch active
Bad shot of zex module
Another bad shot of zex module
Bottle in trunk
New coils and plug wires were also added. thanks to fluid for getting the wires to me early this morning, had just undone the first bold on the UIM and the fed ex guy walked up.
And a HUGE thanks to CRH for a great kit at a great price, making such a great spacer, and the advice and guidance he provided.

it wasn't a hard install. just a little time consuming. getting the UIM off wasn't as hard as everyone said it was. i think the most annoying part was actually the spark plug wires, one of them was VERY tight. and i put them all on the right ones, double and triple checked, just didnt want to go on right...then i re positioned it and it went right on.

Above 4,200 RPM's there is enough air entering the motor that the fuel isn't able to puddle in the manifold as easily.
For a manual car, this is pretty easy to accomplish. For autos it takes a bit more effort to make sure you're in the right gear.

Because the properties of the nitrous system can cause a backfire at lower RPM's. This is where fuel in the intake manifold and the resulting explosion will blow your manifold apart and could result in other serious engine damage.

It's not so much the engine that I would worry about under heavy load and low RPM's. Fuel puddles and BOOM! New Intake manifold. 
The 55 shot is good in that range (4500) and maybe a little below. But. If you can get your car to just start into OPEN LOOP, that's the sweet spot. I like 5000 rpm to start walking on my buddies. 
See above^

I mean, I don't jack about ignition systems... I really don't, but damnit, I recall very clearly tapping into the one of the wires going into the coil pack, and programming my window switch in a couple seconds for a V8 with 3K to 6K RPM window. It was easy. Maybe it won't read the RPM's right for the rotary, but couldn't you "trick" the window switch to using a certain RPM range based on what it's picking up?
I think I read something about you even using LS2 coils originally for one of the ignition kits. I must be oversimplifying, because I just don't much about it, but shouldn't this be possible?

Okay, so I searched, and I found there are people trying to do this, but I guess nobody's got a successful "recipe" yet to get a window switch to work on an RX8... well, I didn't find one.
