Default Opinions on zex kit

Just wondering if anyone is using a zex wet kit. I have searched the forum and couldnt find anything so I am sorry if I missed something and I am reposting an old topic. My dealer gave me a 24mon 24kmi warranty on my powertrain because I have been having overheating problems(headgasket) and it has been back to them 4 times and they are just now putting a head gasket on it. Now that I have this warranty I am thinking about puting a zex wet kit on it because I dont care if I blow it up. The warranty is good at any repair shop and I have a friend that owns a repair shop and he said if anything happens he will put in the claim and give me the check and I can do the work. Just wondering if anyone else is running this and if so how you made out.

I had a ZEX kit on my civic. The dry kit. It was FUN AS HELL. easy to install, fun to use.

I threw the number one rod after 4 bottles.... in all honesty, I deserved to throw a rod. I was running D15B7 block, with a D16Z6 head that was ported and polished, ( furthermore running a 1.6 head on a 1.5 block and pistons ups the compression), then I threw on a 50 shot of nitrous, I was asking for a blown motor..... and got it.. but let me tell you... it wouldn't of had it any other way, that car was quick....

Zex is the safest kit...though if youre keeping it at 50 shot, no need to go wet...

I don't know that I consider any nitrous kit to be "safe". Any kit can turn a subtle engine problem into a catastrophe.

nos gives an unnatural edge to the "game". its like illegal steriods for a car. quite unnatural.

turbocharged/supercharged on the other hand is like eating healthy and working out. quite natural.
