Throttle delay with nitrous?

[LeGeND42o]

So i have been working out the kinks of my nitrous system, and it seem's that there is a slight delay (half second) for the thottle to pick up. I'll put the pedal to the floor, hear the CAI kick in, and a sec later the tire's spin through all of first. Well i was wondering what i needed to increase throttle response, was it a throttle body? And mabye what brand would be best? Thank you for any input.

Do you have a nitrous purge? If not you may be experiencing what us nitrous junkies like to call "nitrous lag." It's basically the stale nitrous/air making it's way out of the lines before you get to the good stuff. If you do have a purge and it's still doing that, I'd check your TPS switch.

I saw an altima just like yours on I35 in central Iowa last week. Could that have been you? I only ask because modified altima's are few and far between let alone seeing one that looked just like yours.

i know nothing of nitrous but...

maybe a grounding kit??

Activetuning makes a good one.

just my .02

I do not have the purge kit yet, but i do clear the lines after connecting the bottle, and i dont have the nitrous kickin until 3000rpm. So i would think that it wouldnt have anything to do with the nitrous, but im at a stand still here, but im gonna give the TPS another program and check that.The skip isnt bad, a normal driver wouldnt notice it, its just a little annoying.

Iowa, no i havent been over there lately, that would be a weekend stay, and a little drive.

Yea i have been hearing alot about the grounding kit, and really thinking about it. I saw Stillen's kit, i didnt know active tuning made one as well. But there probably on back order like the S5 Grille

This is a notorious problem with the 2002 3.5 SE. Mine has done this since day one. There is a TSB on the problem that requires a reprogram to eliminate it..I had it done and it did nothing at all. I don;t think it is your Nitrous system...I think it is an electronic throttle issue. It is very annoying to say the least

[LeGeND42o]

Yea thats what i was thinking....the nitrous wouldnt be activated when this happened so...you said you tried reprograming, and that still didnt fix the problem? Thats something else, just tough it out i guess.

[wild willy]

Some people claimed the reprogram worked, I don't know....The hesitation is intermitant on my car....You never know when it is going to do it

[LeGeND42o]

Alright, so the reprogram on the TPS switch worked on te ocassion? Do you have the NOS WOT switch 2 stage kit by chance?

[wild willy]

No nos for me.........Just want you to know that it is a well documented problem that we have been bitching about since late 2001

I know not what you speak of this "lag"? But then again, I do have a Technosquare reflash

What is Technosquare reflash, is that a ECU upgrade? Becuase i have been looking for one thats compatiable with nitrous without worrying about DETENATION!

See i need this cause i get a throttle lag every now and the and now my rpm is flucuating like delaying , before i hit 40mph. I ask techo-square if the y can reflash my ecu the lady said no they only do altima ser's i said but i have the same engine as the ser she said no she cant do it that makes no sense seeing that you and a lot of people have their reflashes done

Check out JEGS and see what they can do for you if Techno cant set you up.
