i'm getting a zex dry kit this friday with a purge and gauge. I was wondering what is the highest possible shot with just colder plugs and stock timing, and what plugs i should go with. I was told NGK BKR7Es. My mods are just intake and exhaust.

 

well...if dry and no management id say shoot 75 and you are safe...but dont push it too much

 

anybody on here ever ran with this setup?? if so how did it turn out. The setup on my friends F22 accord was pretty nice, should i expect my car to respond as well??

 

anyone else go any oppinions?? With a 75 shot and the colder plugs should i pull my timing any?? my buddy who knows quite a bit says that i'll be fine w/o, but i want some more oppinions.

 

If you decided to pull timing, how would you go about doing it?

 

I run a 75 shot in my h22 no retard full msd and coler plugs with no prob except my idle but iam a wet kit, Ur gona love it

 

i'm not sure shark. I would like to get at nice MSD ignition, but if i don't need to pull timing for a 75 shot w/cooler plugs then i wont be getting anything. What would you suggest??

 

Zex is not true wheel hp. I would do a 65 shot with a 5th gen. Because you have nothing to adjust timing with just to be on the safe side. Unless you have a sunco thats carries 100 octane and will run it all the time. Or you could go for power and say **** it like I did. Spray the **** out of it but thats on you. Just my 2cents

 

somebody told me u can adjust timing on a 5th gen, BUT if you go over 2 that it sets back to 0. is this true or bs??

Yes, unfortunately, that is BS. You cannot adjust the timing on an OBDII car without some sort of aftermarket device. An MSD unit, like you mentioned above, would be a fine choice.

 

ran it with a 75 pill tonight and plugs that are a step colder than bkr7es. runs like a bat out of hell. never really got the bottle over 800psi as i don't have a heater. no signs of any problems. pulled the plugs after 2 sprays and no bad signs so it is looking pretty good. I'll keep yall updated.

 

i would say a 75 at 800 psi on a zex kit would be about a extra 50 hp at the wheels.

 

ya on my kit "barry grant" i got 43 hp at the wheels with a 75 shot wet i still got to tune the jets.

 

run Zex plugs, they are designed to work with their products and no gapping is needed.
I have them on my CRX, swapped my iridiums for em, I love em.
we sell the zex plugs at my work for $40 a set, so they are cheaper than iridiums, and worked better for me.

 

what effect does colder plugs have on day to day driving when u r not using NOS...???

 

my car actually runs better with the colder plugs. It seems to have more torque, and my idle hasen't been affected at all. even with cold starts.

 

i wouldnt run a 75 shot without pulling timing, do you have a fuel pump ??

i run a zex 50 shot dry.

Zex plugs are knows for fouling out and breaking electrodes. I would reccomend running ngk 7's either E or F's. Just my 2cents

Actually thats what they are made for. Honda offers 7F's plugs for extreem driving conditions. But not all dealers have them in stock. I know we are like the only dealer that has them instock in my area. When I used to spray I would change them out after a race just to be on the safe side. Jason hunt also runs same plugs and changes his after each event. I have them in my daily driver for over year, same set works good for me . Just my 2cents

 

well IMO i would rather be safe than sorry i would go full MSD nology plugs and wires i have the same set up and my 2000 SH run great no back firing or giant amounts of soot on the back of your car. I am also thinkin about nitrous man but i dunno seems to dangerous. Good luck i hope my advise helps

 

i'd say that you need to stick to the bk7res, or i use the bcpr7es, but mine is turbocharged.

i seriously doubt that you need to go colder than a 7 though. i think i heard somewhere that every 100hp you make over factory needs a bump to a colder plug, so with just an extra 50hp, i doubt you need to go all the way to an 8. Like i said, i use 7's and i made 266whp.

If your car is shooting soot and back firing its not because of spark plugs its in the tune. Or worn out motor or combination of both.

Nitrous is not dangerous IF you know how to use it corretly IMO
