Zex Nitrous

I am getting nitrous for my 2.2L soon. I am leaning toward Zex, since it seems to be a popular choice for people on the boards. What part number would I need for my 2.2?

I have to order the WOT TPSensor seperate, right?

you want kit #82021

it already comes with a TPS switch, but if you want the WOT switch (the mechanical one) then yes you need to order it separate. I wouldn't deal with it though cuz you have to mount it under the pedal, maybe if our cars weren't drive by wire it'd be okay cuz then u could just mount it to the TB.

what you also have to buy separate is the window switch...

I'm not going to get a window switch, since at WOT the car will downshift to the lowest gear available anyway since its automatic. I will never have to worry about the nitrous coming on below 3000 RPM, since I have tested several times and the RPM never drop below 3000RPM at anytime in any gear, and the car will never bounce the rev limiter.

well in that case you don't need anything extra.

I like the Zex kit a lot cus there are less moving parts and it's a cleaner install. I would recommend utilizing the part that gradually releases the nitrous into the engine. Also with the little box, a real nice place to try and mount it is underneath the battery pan. I did that on my old eclipse, but not sure if it would work on our cars. It's nice and hidden there if it'll fit.

Hack, have you looked up prices for the ZEX kit yet? whats the best price/site you've seen so far? hopefully I wont be too far behind you with the Nitrous... Sry for being a little off topic.
