Default Nitrous Wet kit: Zex vs. NX vs. NOS vs. Venom

Im sure I left a couple out but these are the companies I know about.

I am looking at spraying a 50-75 shot and decided after reading on HT that a wet kit is probably my best bet.

The only thing I didn't find searching is whose kit is the best out there. From what I've read, Zex seems to be very popular but NX apparently makes better power.

I have not read much about NOS or Venom to be honest.

Who would you go with?

P.S. I have a GSR with forged pistons and rods and I am tuned myself on CROME/Ostrich (I do have a wideband)

I have owned 2 ZEX wet kits, for their simpicity, it is basically a 3 wire hook up. I have never had any problem with them.

ok so if your talkin direct port, (sounds like it can handle it) id go with nx or nos, if you just want a single fogger kit id go zex.

any of these kits only make the amount of power that you have the jets installed for. also you'll want a gauge and a bottle heater, as pressure is an important factor with nitrous especially a wet kit.

If i were him id go with internals around a 125-150+ shot. Its peace of mind. Those honda pistons can only take soo much before they let go.

NX is def the best. and the customer service and life time warrenty can't be beat with a stick anywhere. all the kits i've owned where NX. also make more power over the zex. NX rates their shots at the wheels and Zex to the motor.

NOS 50 shot= approx 35-40hp @ wheels
zex 50 shot = 30-35 @ wheels
NX 50 shot = 50-55 hp @ wheels

i would definetly like to get my hands on one of those "phase" kits they look gorgeous

I don't get it. If you know the ZEX kit sprays less nitrous because they rate it different, why not just up the shot? to like a ZEX 75shot, then would you make 50whp. I mean, the # on the nozzle doesn't mean anything, it's all about HP. example-if a motor can handle 50 extra HP before blowing, it doesn't matter what "brand" kit you are using. it just matters how much nitrous the engine is getting, correct? or am I missing something?

A company's "said shot" is not what it really equals out to be in plain words.

I don't know about the power

But i think the good thing about the ZEX kit is that you don't hve to worry about pushing a button, u just floor it and it automatically sprays the nitrous for you

this helps from running to lean or to rich

correct me if i am wrong

I am also getting the Zex kit in about a month
