I run Zex because it was my first time installing nitrous and I wanted the simplest install possible.

in my case it didn't seem to make a difference but uh yeah

I'm opting to go ZEX because they have the safe system that shuts the system/your car off if it senses something going ary.

that monitoring system actually works...I thought it was BS until I tried to spray at 1200psi bottle pressure (was an accident) and it refused to engage. I was surprised...

yeah that is great info man. Now how does it behalf on to rich conditions? That is when it is more likely to get a back fire, and blow the manifold..... is it not?

that would be correct

and actually it was more like 1300psi now that I remember...don't forget to adjust your bottle warmer when the weather changes.

let out a little bit of nitrous to let the bottle pressure drop and it was sprayin again with no problems

unfortunately thats the only experience I have with it...I don't want to voluntarily test these things out

since it is mainly a race between NOS and Zex, what set up are you NOS guys running? I know what the Zex guys are running or at least what I would run.

I'm actually planning on doing a Dyno Tune wet kit now. I'm buying it off a member on here. I'm getting the kit (bottle, lines fittings, bottle bracket, 35, 55 and 75 shot solenoids, fuel solenoid, etc etc) + a bottle warmer, blow down tube, nitrous purge valve, bottle mount nitrous pressure gauge + line, WOT window switch and more. Only components I plan on adding additionally are a CA column mount gauge pod with a Dyno Tune digital nitrous pressure gauge and a remote bottle opener. I'm buying it with my tax return....I'm stoked. When I get this, maybe ill finally get around to installing my Prothane poly trans mount bushings, and I'll also be getting some 225/45/17 BFG G-Force t/a drag radials for two of my stockers. Gonna keep the 55 shot solenoid on for daily driving JUST IN CASE, though I have full intentions of never using it on the street, and when I hit the track I'll be switching to the 75 shot solenoid.

awesome, if you don't mind me asking how much are you paying for it? you can get all that from Zex for 1200 bucks. That is my plan depending on my tax return that maybe what I am doing. My friend (with the Si) is looking at supercharging his so I will need to play catch up. I want to get my exhaust first though. I will need new tires as well I am hoping they make it through the winter.

That price I'll remain disclosed between him and I. Should he decide to go against his word and sell it out from under me, than he can advertise his price on here. But I mean I'm getting it at a fair "used" price I'd say. Certainly a good bit less than $1,200 though. I priced out a full Zex kit too and came up with the same price you did pretty much.

I have $1100 worth of dynotune stuff already sitting around. I can't wait to pick up the last few pieces and get it in the car. Me and slowswap are going to try and do a very time consuming and clean install. Next summer should be fun. O and for the record WhiteSSBalt I bought mine first this time haha. I swear our cars keep getting more and more modded and are still practically the same car.
