Zex nitrous kit installation

Start today the installation of Zex EFI wet kit (55-75 shot), i bought also the traction control window switch, can i wire the tach wire to rpm wire in the ecu or i must wire it to the ignition coil like they said in the instruction?
also our rev limiter is at 6200 rpm, if i put the tc switch to cut off the nitrous at 6100 it will be ok?
in most case my car is not hitting the 6000-6100 rpm in first gear, tc swith has option also to not open the nitrous in first gear, it count the first time when it cut nitrous at 6100 rpm and on second gear it open it, but in my car if i am not hitting the 6100 rpm in first gear it will open nitrous on third gear, what should i do?

You have done a great job modding the C32, RobertAMG (I seen your videos of your C32 beating the stock E55). However, you also have an e55. Just out of curiosity,how come you are spending money for all your mods on the C32 and leaving the E55 stock?

i would go for a window switch that will activate the NOS at a pre set RPM my advice any thing above 3000rpm is OK the more the better , secondly being this s zex kit u should be able to hook the activation switch to the TPS (throttle position sensor ) so once you are at WOT it will engage the nitrous kit is usually between 0 to 5 volts up or down i am not sure what the MB are haven't had time to play around with the volt meter yet , thirdly you can put a delay switch that will only activate the NOS after a certain time may it be the time it takes you to finish fist gear,

i hope this helps

your right, i bought my C32 from 3 years and start modding since, me and my brother work together, this year we bought the E55, we start also with a 180mm pulley then with 100 shot no2 and the engine blow(i cannot tell you how it was with no2 like a rocket), so i installed a new engine and payed 5k$ and quit, returning it to stock and gave it to my brother.
it is the E55 in the videos and my brother is the one who is driving.

I have never seen a C32 beating an e55 like that. Just WOW. I think the E55 would need a pulley to keep up with your c32.

55-75 shot? That's going to be intense... How much did you pay for the kit? I was thinking I'll run 25-45 shot. Should really help in my altitude when I want to move her a little faster.

my c55 sees a 100 shot from time to time. The big thing to remember is to disable traction control. If you dont, the wheels will spin and fuel cut will kick in. If NOS is spraying whild fuel cut kicks in, you can possibly go lean. Especially if you're not running a rich enough fuel jet.

I don't kick the NOS on in first gear either.

Hey Robert,
I have the same kit minus the trac control unit. From what I have gathered is it the yellow wire we need to tap into for the tps? Just want to make sure before I do it.. ha
