I have benn thinking of getting a zex kid for my rex but i don't want to be replacing pistons left and righ. So my question is, How meny shots of nitrous could my zc take? i would probly only use a 50 shot or less.

 

If your getting a ZEX™ kit you dont really have to worry about NOS™ messing up your engine.

yea..u cant have a zex and a nos kit at the same time...well u could but that would be very bad!

 

SMARTASS!!!!!

j/k I love your way of thinking man!!
double thumbs up for all of the smartasses here!!

 

Zex in lack of better words is considered ***** nitrous. Putting in 55 shot or 75 shot wont' do too much harm to ur engine as long as u don't arm and activate it where ever u go. The problem I find is more of stability and security factor. There have been cases where cars been rear ended and the bottle explodes.

If u gonna take this risk might as well really go crazy. Do up ur pistons, rings, copper head gaskets etc and drop in like a 200+ shot of NOS (not Zex) wet injection system

 

You don't have rust on the hole of your car?

 

That is your second post in 2 minutes that don't make sense!!

 

lol yeah whats up with you?

 

How bad dose nos mess up your engine?

That's what I'm talking about

How bad it mess up your engine all depends, assuming you already have the basic bolt ons I/H/E you should be fine. A buddy of mine put a zex kit on his 92 Si and fried his rings the first night, he also had a stock exhaust. We ran an open header with the kit and it was alot faster. About 1 month after the kit was on he blew up his motor, 4 holes in the block and only one good rod. You could see through the block it was kind of cool. He also works at a shop so they through a D16 in the next day. Just make sure your motor can breath and a 55 shot should do no harm.

 

for nitrous systems, i feel its most important that u get a good installer on it...a small shot like 55 shot should be fine but dont squeeze every chance u get...it will not mess up your engine right away but i PERSONALLY feel that through out the years of squeezing, it will shorten the life of your engine...

nitrous is very tricky..if u ask 10 different nitrous "experts" the same questions, u will probably get 10 different answers...

however, if i had to do a nitrous set up, id definitely choose a direct port set up..even though its more expensive for the kit and labor for install, its well worth it considering its safer than wet and dry and u can probably SAFELY squeeze a larger shot.

 

nope no rust the car has been striped to the frame and power coaded
and has new body pannels and paint

 

thanks for the info. i know how to insatll the zex kit it isn't hard i will probly run 55-75 shot but i won't flip the switch very much though. and by the way i just say nos short for nitrous. I know NOS make a wet nitrous system too.
