are you saying your intake does not have a small tube connected to it? that small tube was made for the hose that connects to the head. you can use that tube for the zex intake and throw a breather on the head side...

i wouldn't recommend that at all. the breather totally kills the purpose of the PCV system. An oil catch can should be used rather than a breather filter.
Go read a current thread about it... lots of fact in their.

As for WHERE to put the nozzle, look to the TECH forum... and post their. https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=15

I don't want to misleed you, I don't know that much about zex personally, all the NOS I've ever used has been direct ported. Good luck....

oh, if TECH doesn't have anything, check Forced Induction. https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=16

other than that small tube, there's also a nitrous intake you can do called direct port, which they say is better but i'm not sure about that for a dry nitrous kit. it'll be plugged to the intake manifold instead instead of the intake itself. also zex is a dry nitrous kit so i recommend you get cooler spark plugs and maybe a performance fuel pressure regulator. but about the breather...where it goes on the other end has nothing with pcv system. you might be talking about the hose that connects the head to the manifold....but then again i could be wrong because we all have different year and model cars. i just got zex too but i haven't had it installed yet. my car has a lot done, i could probably go with a wet nitrous kit but zex is much safer.

actually, a wet kit is "safer" than a dry kit when you start spraying 75-100+ shots....

i think zex makes a wet kit... in fact, i'm almost positive they do. that's what you should get.

referring to the pcv system, i am talking about the hose (if you have one) that runs from your valve cover to your intake piping.

so is your car totally stock? cause unless you have a strong built engine and/or turbo or supercharger, a dry nitrous kit is safer. a dry kit is nitrous only while a wet kit is nitrous mixed with fuel.

i've heard of people using zex on stock accords but the line from the bottle needs to be secure so you might wanna seal that tube hole that the line goes through.i don't think you want any nitrous leaking.....
