have seen three engines first hand that appear to have gone lean in individual cylinders with ZEX. One was a GSR swapped into a 94 Civic. Had 6 burned exhuast valves. Not sure if it was uneven N2O distribution or a fuel system that couldn't keep up. Either way I wouldn't put it on my car. This is my opinion on the subject.

had the zex kit with a b18c1 also. Didn't satisfy me, but my buddy had the NOS direct port in his GSR with the 80 shot and could easily walk me.

yea my friends have never seemed to have a problem with the good ol nos systems. a lot of people say stay with the companies who's been around the longest cuz of the r and d. and nos has been around for quite some time. plus nos makes everything to run nitrous and fuel. nos kits, fuel pumps?

weak fuel pump. You can't even run the 75 shot safely on the stock Civic pump.

I always suggest 65 nos pill and 75 fuel pill for a reason.

well as you can see in my sig i'm running turbo now and have an 255lph holley pump and already have colder plugs, which are the zex plugs, funny. anyway i came across a real good deal on a b18c1 and hope i'm not getting scammed, check out this post here

anyway i already paid the guy 2k now and the rest later, and im thinking zex cause i dont have money for a new kit. and i still need to get the 2 mounts, the rear motor and tranny mount. so anyone w/ personal experience w/ the zex kit?
