Taking my Nitrous System TO THE MAX
Taking my Nitrous System TO THE MAX

MAXIMISER THAT IS
Just got it tonight, can't wait to wire this puppy up
WOO HOO, Thanks Denny/Race Tested, WHAT A PIECE
THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN..................
Check out this Link to see the Display Window, and
it'll give you an idea of WHAT IT CAN DO
The Maximiser unit provides a digital pulse width modulated output to pulse the solenoids to control the flow and hence the power, of a nitrous oxide injection system. It offers direct replacement for any other control system on sale but with the following enhanced features: Simpler to use (on screen operating instructions / guide), More user friendly, Ready to run without the need for initial setting up (Pre-programmed initial set-up), Improved accuracy of timing and power settings, and provision for additional features to be added to the current unit by a simple chip change only.
Features:
Menu 1 - Power/Time:
Initial delay - provides an initial delay up to 9.99 sec's in 0.1 sec steps from the first throttle activation. This only works once from the READY state. A setting of 0.0 sec will effectively turn the delay off.
Run time - when set to "on" in the SSM will only allow the output to work for a pre-set and adjustable time from the first output pulse i.e. It does not time an initial delay set so a change of initial delay will not affect the run time. This option will not show up if it is "off" in the SSM.
Build up time - sets the time for the output to change from the START power setting to the FINAL power setting.
Stage 2 Time - when Stage 2 option is chosen from the SSM - this function allows you to choose the time that the 2nd stage activates at, it has a range of 1 - 8.9 sec's in 0.1 sec steps.
Start Power - has an adjustable range of 15% to 100% of the jetted power in 5% steps.
Final Power - has an adjustable range of 45% to 100% of the jetted power in 5% steps. Should always be at or near 100%. If not adjust jets accordinglt to achieve near or at 100%
Reset Rise - when Reset Option +% is chosen from the SSM - this function allows you to choose the % escalator you want with a range of 5 - 25% in 5% steps.
Stage 2 Power - when Stage 2 option is chosen from the SSM - this function allows you to choose the power level that the 2nd stage drops or rises to at the point of activation, it has a range of 20 - 100% in 5% steps.
Retard On @ - allows you to choose the % power level at which you want the retard output to be activated.
Menu 2 - System Settings:
Frequency - allows you to adjust the operating frequency that best suits your type / manufacturer of solenoids. U.S. solenoids operate best at 11-16 Hz and our pulsing solenoids work best at 16+ Hz.
Reset Options - The Reset Option has 3 optional modes; 1) OFF - no reset the power level will hold at the power level achieved at the time the throttle switch was released 2) START - will reset the power level at the initial START power level (this option can be used when changing gear). 3) +% - in this mode on the 1st operation the system will activate at the START power level. On every subsequent operation the system will reset to the START power setting plus a % escalator above the previous reset power level (e.g. Initial START power is set at 20%, and a 10% escalator value is set, after the first reset the START power will reset to 30%, the next reset will be to 40%, and so on and so forth). This applies up to 80% or 5 -10% less than the FINAL power setting whichever is the greater.
2 Stage Power - allows you to "step" the power up or down by anything up to a substantial amount. It can switch to a higher or lower level and during or after the end of the progressive curve. Whilst "Stage 2" is active the "reset" option is disabled, however the "hold" will still function when the throttle is lifted then continue at preset output.
Run Timer - gives you the option to have the unit automatically switch off after a pre-programmed length of time.
Auto rerun - gives you the option to automatically reset the unit after a timed run ready for the next operation.
Menu 3 - Calibrations:
Nitrous delay - allows you to fine tune and match the delivery time of the Nitrous relative to the fuel and when initiated has a range of 0 - 2,000 msecs.
Pulsing mixture - will add more fuel to the nitrous/fuel ratio while pulsing. The greater the number, the higher the fuel mixture.
Maximum Flow - alters the power level at which the solenoids operate on maximum power. Adjustable between 75% and %100
Menu 4 - Saved Settings:
This is a 10 store data log in which you can store up to 10 sets of adjustments which you may want to repeat without having to make notes of each individual setting and reload individually when required. With this UNIQUE feature you can save ALL the adjustments made in an individual numbered log for reloading at a later date.
Check Mode - allows the user to check the settings chosen are correct and have been correctly logged.
Test Mode - allows the user to carry out a self diagnosis of the operational parameters of the unit.
Dimensions:
7"L x 2.75"H x 1.25"D
Can't wait to get back to the track with it, hopefully in 2 weeks
THIS IS GOING TO ROCK
Lookin good Rob...cant wait to see that baby fly on JDM day....Speakin of I need to throw you a call so we can set up where and what time to meet up for the ride...Jaysons comin to. I'll throw you a call tomorrow night.

Be safe Rob!

THANKS ALL, I can't wait to meet you guys either 
Because I always want to push it, a tiny bit more
No actually thats not totally true, if I wanted to go faster
I'd just add bigger jets, I kind of feel anything below 11.5 is REALLY pushing it,
so my quest is to try and run one 11.5/11.6, and then try and
dial it in @ 11.7 for good.
Next time out will actually be with less Boost (4lb only)
and some new Chip Programs with a little less Nitrous Timing.
Upgrading to the Max was actually to make for a safer but more efficient run
The Key reasons
I can Launch with more than 60% initial Power
(Prob try 70% first time out, @10 more HP than now)
I can go to full 100% Power Quicker (2.0 secs minimum now)
(Prob set it 1 sec first time out to give me a little more "quicker")
I can adjust the Fuel Solenoid seperate from the N20 Solenoid
(this will assure PLENTY of fuel, and assure I DO NOT go lean)
AND THE BEST REASON
I can ""BACK DOWN POWER"" at the end of the run.
This is when it's going to blow if and when it does.
(I'll prob back down to 80-90% power @10 sec's into the run)
I think with this control, I can back down Boost and Timing,
AND STILL go faster with the same "OR LESS" Nitrous.
And the more control I have over the n20, the safer (thumbsup)
PLUS I AM THE OFFICIAL USA TEST LIGHTNING ,
so it's only fair I TEST EVERYTHING, hehehehehehe
SO LET THE TESTING BEGIN

hmmm only thing is at the end of the run when you are most at risk, is where you need the most power. that is one reason while Sal was using the centrifigal s/c, higher the RPM, the more power
BadasL,
We don't do multi stage set-ups as they are inefficient and an outdated way of proper delivery. The pro-mod car that Rob showed, uses the same Maximiser as he and everyone else uses. The progressive units are an electronical way of simulating multi stage systems.
What is the reason for multi stages systems?
1) Less power is needed off the line for traction and engine safety at lower rpms.
2) You want to add more power into the run when the motor is reving higher and traction is not an issue.
A progressive unit does the same thing by adding less power initially and you can even delay the system altogether. The difference is setting your system up electronically and with a linear power curve, which equals quicker acceleration and less stress on the vehicle.

Whip,
The delay in being a vendor is my fault. A new L site gave me a dedicated nitrous forum that makes my job easier to help out. F150 is such a big site and has so many posts to search through and see where I can be of assistance. This has taken a lot of time that I don't really have. On the other hand F150 and the people have been great to me thus far and I feel like I owe something in return to become a vendor. Only problem is I am still dedicate to the L community but on another forum. Life and decisions are a bit difficult sometimes.
