Default Question about nitrous kit

Probably switching to nitrous, just wondering if anyone has used this kit and how do you like it. Was it easy to install? Looks like a great design to me.
Thanks in advance

its a spacer that installs between the injector and the block, it sprays nitrous and fuel through passages machined into the bottom of the same spacer. the solenoids are self contained in the fuel rail provided

I like Zex, that's what I would use if I ever got a system. However the direct port kit would be nice if you are planning on spraying alot, what kind of power do you want out of it?

I would probably go for a direct port then. That kit doesnt look bad but when I read a review of a similar kit in SCC it sounded rather unfinished. You really can't go wrong with a standard NOS direct port kit with exterior plumbing and what not.

Well than go spend $1146 ******* dollars on a nitrous kit when the ZEX kit will do just as good for under $500.....and find another website.

I know everyone has their different preference, but I personally, would never use a dry shot. In my opinion, it's no coincidence that many people blew their motors on wet/dry setups.

It's a proven fact that dry shots distribute nitrous unevenly to the cylinders causing different fuel mixtures between the cylinders. This is the reason why many people get inconsistent plug readings.

No it's not a proven fact, unless you're placing your nozzle closer than 12" from the throttle body. I like to keep mine at 18" or farther.

yes it is. Put "dry shot uneven distribution" in any search engine and see what you get.

Also, if dry shots weren't known for this, what's your explination of being limited to a 75 shot for dry setups

From what I know, the majority of the systems for imports are. I know for a fact this is true for nos and zex. I also believe it is for nx too.

On NOS kits, over 60 dry more than none you will run pretty damn lean. I dont like dry kits what so ever.

ANd yes he is right about uneven dist with dry kits and single fogger kits.

And yes that is a very good kit. Hard lines are a big pain in the ***. I would go soft lines any day of the week

So in other words your a tool who believes everything you read on Honda-Tech.

That's funny because I've ran 100 shot dry with my ZEX kit and Matt Patrick has run up to a 200 shot dry with a modified ZEX dry kit.

I believe the 100 shot was a .043 pill and 125 shot is .052 pill. You'd have to ask Matt Patrick which one for a 200 shot. It's not dangerous unless you don't have the right injectors and fuel management.

Default Re: Question about nitrous kit (RyanCivic2000)

i just get really leary with that on dry shots. I wont touch anything but some sort of DP for higher shots. Even if its only nitrous in each cylinder. That way there is no room for dist probs. Or I thought of getting the nozzles that inject straight out from the tips, and run 2 of them into the back of the manifold. to get one nozzle per 2 cyls. That might get touchy though with the amount of space for spray patterns. Thats just me though.

Placing the nozzle 18" or farther from the throttle body allows the nitrous to spread out and distribute evenly with the air in the intake manifold.

in theory. That doesnt happen all of the time though. I know, Ive run tons of nitrous set ups. It becomes a prob on higher shots i have noticed

u can go ALOT higher on a dry shot..u just have to have the fuel to back it u, which doesn't necessarily have to come from the kit itself...tuning in your management/injectors (just like in boost apps)to compensate, will easily make this possible..in the "bone stock motor honda world" limited to 60-75, yes i agree..
