Caution! It may sound stupid

A while back, I was reading in one of the car magazines ( I think Euro Tuner) an article about a guys car, in which he had NOS. Now, as I can remeber, they were saying something about instant boost, as if the driver used the nos whenever he wanted, not just WOT. Everytime he punched the gas pedal and I guess hit the button, he would get that kick, that instant boost, but then as soon as he released the button, jets would stop spraying. So it all came out as if, he did not need to hold the button for a long period of time, the whole damn thing operated like a supercharger or a turbo. But definetly he was spraying. I also think they were talking about how they were using it in highway traffic, to move out of the lanes quicker, so i guess the boost/kick lasted only as long as the driver wanted it to. I dunno, I might be wrong on this one, i'm just trying to pull the remebered info and pieces from the article that I can still remeber. I dont have the magazine anymore, so I just wanted to ask did anybody ever read anything about this or heard about it or sum' sum. Well, just wanted to ask, if i said something wrong, dont laugh, i'm just tryin' to find out few things.
Thanx

There is a kit that will activate nitrous only when the pedal is all the way down as soon as you let off the systems shuts it down.

I believe it is the Zex kit. Try doing a search for Zex and you may be able to find it. I think I remember reading that in SCC.

It is infact the ZEX kit... now... you cannot use a dry system (Zex) on the new civics or rsx's... because of the returnless fuel system... But if memory serves me correctly, zex JUST JUST came out with a wet kit, a wet kit can be used on our cars... now if it comes with the same modual as the dry kit??? I really couldnt tell you... i'm pretty sure it does though... happy boostin!

You can make any kit do that. If it has a WOT sensor, just take it off and put a button in its place. It is just a simple re-wiring. The WOT just sends a 12 v signal, the same as a button.
