Just wanted to know hoe safe the zex kits(dry) are? I was considering a 55 shot on my LS. ANyone have any input on the safest way to run it?

 

 

ive got a zex 55 shot dry setup on my b16a. shortly after i got it, the circuit board in the box messed up. if it was armed for about 3-4 min. the solenoid would start clicking open and closed real quick. any way I took the box apart and did it nos style with a switch on the tb to trigger the solenoid. also i discovered the fuel pressure deal they have about it changing with bottle pressure is bullshit . their setup just reroutes your vaccum line through a nitrous jet to raise the pressure, and has nothing to do with bottle pressure. but anyway most people dont have any problems with zex kits. they would have replaced my box but I wanted it apart anyway so I could mount the stuff out of sight. anyway its a good kit. id buy another one. extremely easy to install.

 

Yea I have installed one on my buddy's car. Thanks for your input.

 

they are safe as long as you get all parts needed to run it safely like fuel and all that

hey do you have the part# for that fuel? and is that an oem part or aftermarket?
JK LOL

 

Don't forget about a window switch. Best investment you can buy to protect yourself when using nitrous.


I have a Zex dry system and have had no problems with it.

 

A window switch, as in switch to prevent the nitrious from spraying below a certin RPM?

 

as long as you have enough fuel the kits themselves have worked fine for us.

i would recommend the proper guages and warning lights if your worried. this way if something does go wrong you don't pop the motor.

 

They are as safe as you want them to be. Stick a 100 shot on a stock block with no fuel upgrade and advanced timing and youre asking for trouble.

I just want a 55 shot. What upgrades would you all recomend?

 

well my friend ran his zex dry kit on 75shot with a vafc, 255lph fuel pump, and later ran 100 shot with the vafc, fuel pump and prelude 2.2 vtec injectors i cant remember what size(cc) they are but it ran fine and we blew away the local haters in their eg's, ctr's and wrx's

 

WOW Well I figure I should be fine on my small 55 shot

What motor does your friend have?

 

i believe they are pretty safe. i ran a zex kit on my 98 dx motor. motor was stock except for the zex kit itself and a no name intake. ran fine , never had a problem with it

 

nitrous is as safe as you want it to be. I personally do not like dry kits though. Wet for the win!
