Venovus Engineering NCM-2 Nitrous Control Module

NCM-2 Nitrous Control Module Features

	1	Enable Switch	Pressing this button enables and arms the nitrous. The nitrous will automatically activate when the throttle angle you have programmed is reached. When disabled, the nitrous will not activate, regardless of throttle angle. As a safety feature the nitrous is disabled at each key cycle which prevents unintended nitrous activation that can result in engine damage.
	2	Nitrous Active Indicator	The nitrous indicator lights when nitrous is being injected.
	3	System Status Indicator	The system status indicator reports if any faults are detected. If faults are detected the status indicator flashes a fault code and the nitrous is automatically disabled.
	4	Purge Switch	Pressing the Purge switch activates the purge solenoid, purging the nitrous lines of air.
	5	Set Time Delay Switch	Pressing the Set Time Delay will allow the user to delay the nitrous activation by up to 5 seconds in 250 milli-second increments. Doing so will allow for better traction and less stress on the drive train. The user can also profile their vehicles engine acceleration curve to delay nitrous so that the engine has a chance to reach a certain RPM prior to activating the nitrous.
	6	Set TPS Trigger Level	Holding the throttle down to the desired nitrous activation point and holding this button will record the throttle angle that the user would like the nitrous activated at. The user can change this and record a new throttle angle at any time. As a safety feature the NCM-2 will disregard values below about 50% preventing nitrous activation at low throttle angles which could cause engine damage.
	7	Throttle Angle Bar Graph	The throttle angle has two functions. It dynamically displays the throttle angle as the user depresses the throttle. The NCM-2 will automatically learn the minimum and maximum throttle angles and properly scale the display. It also displays the delay time the user has programmed and changes as the user depresses the Set Delay Time Switch.


NCM-2 Nitrous Control System
The VENOVUS NCM-2 is a full featured dash-mounted Nitrous Control Module. Along with the VRM-1 Nitrous Solenoid Driver, the kit is a complete Nitrous Control System. The NCM-2 works with both wet and dry nitrous systems on the market. The NCM-2 features an integrated enable/disable switch, purge switch, throttle angle display and user programmable time delay. It monitors your vehicles existing Throttle Position Sensor. If the nitrous is enabled it will automatically activate the nitrous at the throttle angle you have programmed. You can program a delay between 0-5 seconds in .25 second (250 millisecond) increments. It completely eliminates the clunky hard to mount mechanical arming and throttle switches. Only six electrical connections and you're up and running. The NCM-2 connects to; 1) Key-on power, 2) ground, 3) headlamps/park lamps (for automatic display dimming), 4) your vehicle's existing Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), 5) nitrous/fuel solenoid relay, and 6) purge solenoid relay. Installation of the NCM-2 Nitrous Control System is easy using our ProManual and QuickStart Guide.

Manuals & Safety Features
	There's nothing more frustrating than a poorly written installation manual when trying to install an aftermarket product. It's all too common that manuals for aftermarket products are not detailed enough. Check out our manual compared to the competition (if you can even find it on their site). While other companies think manuals are an after-thought to product development, we think it's an extension of the product and the company. We call it ProManual because we've detailed every step. Find out why SPORT COMPACT CAR MAGAZINE said: "Venovus' offerings are obviously designed and created by an engineer, with an incredibly detailed manual backing up a complete nitrous control system."

	Safety! That's what SMART Diagnostics is all about. The NCM-2 is equipped with SMART Diagnostics which constantly monitors the system for faults or improper electrical signals. For instance, if the NCM-2 detects a higher than normal TPS signal it will automatically disable the nitrous and flash a fault code using the system status LED. The number of flashes indicates the type of failure detected. The NCM-2 will also prevent accidental recording of a low TPS nitrous activation point. This helps reduce potential engine damage by not allowing nitrous activation at low throttle angles. Another important safety feature, is that the nitrous is automatically disabled at each key cycle, preventing accidental nitrous activation, which is a common occurrence with manual arming switches and throttle micro-switches.

Vehicle Information
The VENOVUS NCM-2 is designed to work with later model fuel injected vehicles (1990-2008) that use a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or Drive-by-Wire. The NCM-2 monitors the vehicles TPS signal and when the programmed throttle angle is reached it will automatically activate the nitrous if enabled. Connecting to the TPS sensor is easy. Just locate the proper wire which is easily identified in our instruction manual and tap into it using one of the supplied T-Taps. We've identified the wire color on some popular vehicles which include: 1994-07 Honda Civic, Del Sol, Prelude, S2000 1994-2001 Acura Integra 1995-1998 Nissan 200sx 1994-2005 Nissan Sentra 1994-1996 Nissan 300ZX 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z 1994-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT 2002-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer/EVO 1994-2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1995-2007 Dodge Neon 1994-2007 Subaru Impreza, WRX 1994-2005 Toyota Corolla 1994-2007 Chevrolet Corvette 1999-2002 Chevrolet Comaro/Pontiac Firebird 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt 1994-2007 Ford Mustang 2000-2005 Ford Focus 2003-2005 Saturn ION 1, 2, 3 2004-2007 Scion All If you're vehicle is not listed, don't despair! Just email us and we'll research which wire to connect to. Additionally you can use a digital volt meter (included in the kit while supplies last) to locate the correct wire. You can also contact us to request support.		Drive by Wire: Many manufacturers are moving towards a system called drive-by-wire. This system eliminates the the throttle cable which mechanically connects the throttle with the accelerator pedal. The system uses a pedal position sensor which tells the on-board computer how far the accelerator pedal is depressed. The on-board computer system then controls an electric motor that is mounted to the throttle shaft. The throttle body, houses the throttle plate, motor and usually two throttle position sensors. These position sensors indicate to the on-board computer the actual position of the throttle plate. This is used by the on-board computer to ensure that the throttle is actually at the desired position. The NCM-2 can interpret the pedal position sensor, or the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Ideally, the NCM-2 should be connected to the TPS because this represents "actual" throttle position rather than "desired" throttle position.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the NCM-2 and VRM-1 work on older nitrous systems? Yes. The you can retro-fit your existing nitrous system using the NCM-2 and VRM-1. The only requirement is what is listed above in "Will the NCM-2 work on my vehicle?". What is the advantage of adding a delay to the nitrous activation? If you are accelerating from a complete stop the delay allows time for your engine’s RPM to build. Engines typically do not respond well to nitrous at lower engine RPM. In fact you can characterize your engine’s RPM climb from a stop and set the delay to activate the nitrous at a specific RPM by controlling the delay. The NCM-2 delay timer is extremely precise and consistent. If you want to experiment with this without actually injecting nitrous you can disconnect the GRAY and LIGHT BLUE wires from the VRM-1 or your relays. This allows you to see the NITROUS ACTIVE indicator light while observing the RPM without actually injecting nitrous. Once you have achieved the desired result plug the GRAY and LIGHT BLUE wires back in. Delaying the nitrous engagement can allow time for your tires to “hook-up” reducing wheel spin off of the line. Delaying the nitrous produces less stress on your engine and drive train because is allows the drive train to fully load prior to adding the extra power achieved with nitrous. Will the NCM-2 activate the nitrous at a specific RPM? The multitude of vehicles and different ignition systems precludes the NCM-2 from being able to measure engine RPM and be easy to install. However you can delay the nitrous engagement which can be synchronized to a specific RPM when accelerating off of the line. See "What is the advantage of adding a delay to the nitrous activation?" question above for details on how to do this. How long will the installation take? This is depends on your prior experience and your vehicle among other things. Most likely it will take about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to install. Some installers are meticulous and will spend hours making sure everything is perfect, the wires are installed in looms and concealed etc. Other installers will perform the bare minimum and may get the job done in 30 minutes. The manual includes step by step instructions and is extremely detailed, as such the install process may look more complicated than it really is. Can I contact VENOVUS Engineering for technical assistance during the install? Yes. There are several contact options available including phone support, email support and our tech support section of our web site. You can contact us here.
