Nitrous button
 
so i just installed a NOS nitrous kit on my 8 but i dont wan to to use the original microswitch that came with the kit, so ive been trying to find adapters that fit the oem steering wheel with the butons....the best way i can explain them is what Johnny Tran has on his S200 when he beats the jetta :dunno:( the fast and the furious)....does anyone know where i can find them?????:eyetwitch

I haven't seen anything of that nature.

Sounds like you'll just have to rewire it.

nitrous is a bad idea dude.... unless your going to a car show to show it what are you going to use it for?

We should have a nitrous button location thread if we don't already... Anyone?

Texak 04-10-2009 04:04 PM

most just have an ''arm'' switch. just put it in the blank switchplate on the left of the driver.

Third_eye912 04-10-2009 07:40 PM

^^ well i installed the arming swicth in one of the slots but it would be hard to be switching hands to be able to press the button if i were to install it there also...something close to the shifter or on the steering wheel will be easier...the kit came with a switch that located under the gas pedal and will be activated at WOT but im not really feeling it :eyetwitch

I say spray everyday well almost everyday and no problems.

wassup_nuthin 04-11-2009 01:37 PM

why arent you feeling the w.o.t controller? arm the system when you full throttle then she sprays...but on the subject, you want something you can put in the factory steering wheel spot??? havnt seen the NOS kit but should some regular speaker wire or w/ not and button and some wire hiding work? and button at a parts store should work its not really rocket science when they put these kits together

good luck on not blowing your engine.

Texak 04-11-2009 03:43 PM

^^you have no idea what you're talking about

laythor 04-11-2009 03:53 PM

there's a reason people in real life use a WOT switch and not something on their steering wheel. Perhaps you could read up on it and save yourself lots of headaches

Lebren 04-11-2009 04:49 PM

It would be sweet if you could rewire the cruise control On/off button to arm and the cancel button to activate the nos.

Typically, people install nitrous to go faster.

Do you have any experience whatsoever with nitrous on an RX8 mr 9 post? :uhh: :icon_no2: :squint:

55 shot has proven safe on RX8's. Search before posting useless posts.

WingleBeast 04-11-2009 05:03 PM

hey greddy, how many engines have you blown on nitrous, if the answer is zero then you have no room to talk about what it can and cannot do.

leave the suggestions to the people who have experience and knowhow, somthing you seem to lack.

ZumnRx8 04-11-2009 06:10 PM

i want NAWZ but am scared of it. (blowing up or what not) i would stay on a 55 shot though.

laythor 04-11-2009 06:35 PM

there is nothing wrong with using nos, it's a cheap and very effective way to get a lot of horsepower quickly. Unfortunatly for the OP, most people decide to go this route after reading and researching it.. not from watching a movie and thinking "cool, i want a button on my steering wheel"

ZumnRx8 04-11-2009 09:51 PM

^i wanted one in the HOMELINK mirror, j0-king. im still thinking about it, but then its also illlegal........

this comment is exactly why people think nitrous is unsafe, and thus people like greddy617c come in here and spread misinformation.

do some research please. zumn and greddy.

ZumnRx8 04-11-2009 10:33 PM

^I have read up on threads like ALZORS and EASYS, and others

You have not read enough then.

alz0rz 04-11-2009 11:11 PM

I sprayed for a few months.. perfectly safe.












though I did have 1 minor mishap ;)

ZumnRx8 04-11-2009 11:20 PM

what happened after those months??

alz0rz 04-11-2009 11:21 PM

/\ click my sig?

ZumnRx8 04-12-2009 02:53 AM

oh yeah i remember i posted on that thread, dam, sucks, by the way nice AVATar!

Well thanks a lot for shooting down my plane bro :squint:.....nitrous has proven to be safe on all engines, all you gotta do is research and lots of it...its not like many people think...just buy the kit, install it and go race....i read a lot and asked around till i found out what was best....and nitrous is the best bang for your buck....a lot of people in this forum has some kind of nitrous in their 8's and maybe a few have had engine or some kind of failure... like alz0rz (which hurts just by looking at the pics) , but you cant blame that on the nitrous....and im not looking for the steering wheel buttons cuz i watched the movie and i think its cool....i just find it more convenient

Jeromie 04-12-2009 03:05 PM

Yea I been spraying for over a year without one problem... I hate it when ignorant people hate on nitrous... Charles r hill has many threads if any of you wanna educate yourselves before speaking.
As for the op... Leave ur wot switch as a safety... Then add the button as an additional switch. This way u stay safe sir. Please research before doing any of this tho...

Third_eye912 04-12-2009 04:40 PM

^^ well i never thought about that....ill take your advice....but they are still many buttons to choose from!!!! aaaaaahhh, soooo many!
