Nitrous and Clutches

[DarkSiRacer]

For those who spray... How's your stock clutch handling your shot? If you replaced your clutch already... How many times did you spray before the stock clutch went out?

dunno if they're the same, rsx to ep, but it all depends on how you launch. If you feather the crap out of it, you're gonna be frying it everytime you launch, however, if you launch and then spray, you're doing a ton less wear, but you're going slower :D

Thats true but I just want to know what the stock clutch can handle before it starts slipping. SO how bout it guys? Wheres all the Nitrous people at?

[WarmPepsi]

well, guess that still depends on how hard you nail on it. I'd assume you'd be fine for a bit, the engine issues are a bigger deal than the clutch one......but eventually that'll kick in. I don't figure anyone has abused their car that bad yet..

Anybody know how the arming switch on the ZEX Smart kit works? The kit is WOT controlled so I was wondering if this was possible to do to avoid spraying in first: You could launch normal in first gear without the bottle, and then on the shift to second, arm the NMU and be ready to spray in second.

The one guy that I know of that had the ZEX kit is MIA so I can't ever ask him any questions about it.:(

I dont know for sure but I'd bet good money that you would have a switch to arm the system in the first place. So yea you could and probably should hit it from 2nd on.

Yeah you have to arm the NMU, it comes with a switch to mount in the car. I was just wondering if you can arm it on the fly like that, inbetween shifts.

I cant think of a reason why not.
