What can you tell me about the progressive system? I've always used the normal switched on with a window switch and TPS, but if there is a better system out there then I'm all ears.
The progressive system can make the car more streetable. The one I have from N.O. pulsates the solenoids. The progressive controller is built into tps/window switch unit. The dedicated progressive output from the tps/window unit goes to a progressive driver. The signal from the progressive controller is to low to power the solenoids directly, so it needs to control the driver, which then activates the solenoids. You can program the controller to perform in a few different ways. Currently my jets are for a 50 shot. My window is 4500 to 6000. I have the controller set to a starting spray of 50% and a time span of 3 seconds. Which means, I get a 25 shot at 4500 and in 3 seconds it will be at a 50 shot (100%). And I have the controller programmed to reset to this ramp for each gear. Granted, I'm only in the 1st gear spray window for about 1 second, so I never reach the 50 shot. 2nd gear spray window is about 2 seconds and 3rd is about 3 seconds. Ramp time and initial percentage are adjustable. You can also adjust if you want to reset your ramp for each gear or just let it continue to build without resetting. There is also a 1st gear lock out, which means the nitrous will not activate until you reach the top end of the window switch 1 time. For now, I'm staying at a 50 shot and experimenting with it until I get some logging issues corrected. Sorry for the long read, but that was the only way I could explain it. Don't hesitate to ask anything.
