What an enabler does
Think of an enabler as the master arm switch. Each nitrous stage in NSP is assigned to an enabler, and a stage can only activate when its enabler is on. You can set up as many as four enablers and assign your stages to them however suits your car. For example, one enabler could arm a street stage while another arms race stages only, or every stage can share one arm switch.
Two ways to turn it on
- Switch Enable: uses an input pin, typically wired to a toggle on the dash. Wiring is covered in nitrous enable wiring.
- Condition Enable: turns the enabler on when ECU conditions are true, with or without the switch. If you leave the switch disabled, conditions alone can do the job.
Using both together is how we usually set it up. The driver's switch arms the system, and a condition such as coolant temperature or fuel pressure has to be in range too.
An enabler only allows nitrous. Each stage still has its own activation rules in nitrous stages, and they should be set conservatively.
