Nitrous Hook up
I bought a basic NOS kit of off ebay for a fuel injected car... i know that my car does not have the throttle cable which i guess enages a normal car for nitrous to activate at WOT... so i was just wondering if i need anything extra to hook this kit up, if so what all do i need, and how hard is it to hook up

If it comes with a WOT switch just mount it under your gas pedal.....that's what all of us with the 5177 kits do.

If the car is a 6 spd, then you absolutely need a Window Switch
Here is an example of one: http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=138
Without one, if you miss a shift or hit the rev limiter, it won't be pretty.
If the car is a automatic, it is still a good idea, but not absolutely necessary.
The switch will turn the Nitrous on and off at certain RPM's you program into it. 3000 is a good starting point to prevent puddling of fuel.

The kit is pretty easy to install......mostly it's wiring. Any average DIY type guy can get it done in 8 hours or less.....and that's taking your time. It took me a little longer (2 weekends) but I'm slow and I always have constant interruptions from my two kids......

The relay may be different too although I really don't know....also.....I'm guessing it's a single fogger setup instead of the dual fogger like a 5177. Worst case scenario is you can buy the individual pieces that are different and end up with the same parts as a 5177 afterwards.
