Yeah, I think it will work fine. Here's a few questions to ask.
1. Does he have a TPS sensor? Pretty likely.
2. Can he kill the coil from the positive side? Also pretty likely.
3. Does he have a clutch switch? This one may not be trivial, especially if the car doesn't have cruise control. If not, he'll need to add a clutch switch.
so all the units are set up this way? i'll be using mine with the 2-step built into the msd ignition.
Yes. They are all the same. Which MSD ignition will you be using? The DIS-5? I think I need to specify how to wire it. It can get tricky, and dangerous, when working with CDI systems....
Phrozen, the combination of the WOT Box and the NDE TCS system is awesome. The shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd and 3rd gear to 4th is great. Had to lower the timing to 225 - 250 ms to get the boost to hold during shifting. Thanks for explaining that. I will get to try this out at the track on the 18th, as long as I don't have to work. Thanks again.
That's great! Glad to hear you like it. Now, if you could just help us spread the word... We need lots more publicity.
Also, if you could find some time for me to install one on my own car...
LOL, no problem man. I will definately talk it up on the forums. Sure thing ship your car over here to the UK and I will install it for ya. LOL
Alright got the box reinstalled, im just waiting on my exhaust to go on the car, im going to start it at 100ms and work my self down most likely to 25ms, i will have a review up hopefully shortly

I have raced a turbo'd MR2 over here a few times. in a short race he would always beat me due to my traction issues. longer races were better for me. This way I made back the distance I lost in the beginning. He wouldn't beat me by much in about a 1/4 mile race. I just couldn't make up those last few feet to get my bumper ahead of him by the time the race was over.
Well last night I raced him and totally annililated him both in the short race and long. The WOT shifting helped ALOT. Holds about 20 psi during shifts. from a 10 mph roll to about a 1/4 mile and a 10mph roll to probably 1/2 mile. TCS kicked in and limited wheelspin above 10% (using setting 4 for street tires with minor changes on the advanced screen), got alittle spin in 1st and 2nd, not much at all, and zero spin in 3rd. By then he was already falling back fast. Destroyed him both times. And his car is not slow. Although he puts his new turbo in on Wednesday.
Comparison of his new turbo to old turbo is like looking at the SRT-4's stock TD04 and comparing it to a 50 Trim. I think I have my work cut out for me.
The TCS and and WOT Box are a great combination. They compliment each other very well. Some of the more experienced drivers may not need the WOT Box to actually do a WOT shift but for the average joe and someone that doesn't want to worry about blowing up their transmission should definately get this produce if not both. I will test out both of them at the track on the 18th, weather and work permitting.
Hey, has anyone installed a WOT Box on a car with the MSD DIS-2 ignition?
I need to start including a warning about being careful about where you install the box on cars that have a CDI (capacitive discharge ignition), like the MSD DIS-2. If you just hook the WOT Box up to the positive coil lead, I believe it will be destroyed.
Instead, an alternate wiring diagram needs to be used. I'll have more details on that after this weekend.

yes the wiring diagram that you sent me jon works, the 2step works and the wot box works fine
A couple of questions I have concerning the WOT box.I have one im getting ready to install after my new motor goes in.My first question is I have a CM FX700 and have a clutch pedal stop installed so I dont overextend the clutch(recommended by Luis@CM) as it only has about 1 1/2 inches of throw for engagement.Also my car will EMS and will start without engaging the clutch pedal which is how I like it.Will this affect how the WOT box works???And are there any issues I need to know about concerning the use of the box with an AEM EMS???
I dont think you'll have any issues with the first question, as there is a clutch upstop interlock switch that the WOT box uses for reference. So any time that switch is depressed (i.e., any movement from full out), the WOT box will function like normal.
But, the AEM EMS deal makes me want to think it's not going to work, since somehow the factory upstop switch is bypassed.

bill you shouldnt have anything to worry about.the upstop is still there.if you want to make sure that your stop does ot affect it take a dvom and check the greenwire for the signal at the clutch swith.like i said though it will work
