Nitrous Express Maximizer 4 - Manual (Page 2)

1. Overview
The Maximizer 4 progressive nitrous controller operates one or two separate stages of nitrous
based on either time, RPM, MPH, throttle percentage or boost pressure. Whether your engine is
naturally aspirated or forced induction, gasoline or diesel, the Maximizer 4 is the first choice. The
Maximizer 4 has multiple progression options to cover a variety of racing types. These progression
options are described below:
Time based progression. This option is a popular choice for drag racing applications where you
always start from a dead stop. This option is very easy to fine tune so that you leave soft enough to
eliminate wheel spin. As you go down track, the controller smoothly adds more nitrous as traction
increases.
RPM based progression. This option works great for vehicles that have enough traction to handle
full nitrous power at the top of first gear. This mode allows you to add a little nitrous in the lower
engine RPMs and ramp into full nitrous as the engine rpm increases. This is a great option for
vehicles with a tight torque converter. Since nitrous flow is limited to a small amount at low RPMS,
you can safely activate the nitrous at lower RPMs which will help to pull the car out of the hole.
MPH (Miles per Hour) progression. This option is great for racers who sometimes begin racing from
a dead stop and other times begin racing from a rolling start. The nitrous controller will
automatically limit nitrous to a smaller shot at low speeds where traction is limited while providing
a larger shot at higher speeds where traction is more plentiful. Bracket racers can use this feature
to set a MPH nitrous cutoff for the ultimate in consistent ETs.
Throttle percentage progression. This option allows you to “pedal” the car in the event of wheel
spin. Nitrous flow smoothly increases and decreases as you “work” the throttle, allowing you to
regain traction and continue racing. This is very beneficial to road race and drifting vehicles. The
throttle percentage feature is also beneficial for street cars because it allows you to introduce a
small amount of nitrous at mid throttle while smoothly transitioning to full nitrous power as you
press the throttle to the floor. The feeling is like driving a car with twice the cubic inches.
Boost based progression. This is a useful option for use on turbocharged diesels and gasoline
applications. Boost progression allows nitrous to come on strong to eliminate that dreaded turbo
lag but then ramps out the nitrous smoothly to let the mighty turbo do its thing. The end result is
monster power with zero lag, even with a HUGE turbo. On diesel applications it will not allow
nitrous delivery until the engine starts to see boost, preventing a nitrous engine stall.
AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) compensation and protection. The Maximizer 4 monitors the engines Air Fuel
Ratio (from optional wide band O2 module), and automatically adjusts the fuel and nitrous solenoid
output to achieve the desired Air Fuel Ratio (target AFR is user adjustable). As bottle pressure
drops toward the end of a run, the Maximizer 4 will automatically adjust the solenoid output so you
maintain a consistent and safe AFR. Air Fuel Ratio safety cut off limit (too rich and too lean) are user
adjustable so the controller will completely shut off nitrous flow if the Air Fuel Ratio goes outside
the user defined limits
