OK I've been reading reviews about this kit and it seems pretty cool and safe

:thumbsup: It's all computer controlled and sprays itself at wide open throttle and gives constant boost down the entire track. :thumbsup:

B) I saw it on Alero Upgrades and it's on PFYC. For $515 and an easy install (they claim) might not be a bad deal.

Any thoughts? :unsure:

I found this on another car forum

Still unsure. :unsure:

If I get it, I'll probably just run a 50 shot

Mazda website

Looking also at the ITS turbo kit stage I. I got that link from Alero Upgrades too.

It's a lot more money but is it safer? :unsure:

If you go with ZEX go only with the wet kit. Trust me when i say this DO NOT GET THE DRY KIT it does bad things to the motor well at least up here in the alt. I blew the back three pistons apart from using the dry kit. there is no really good way to add more fuel and keep from going lean. i had the bigger injectors and the APR as well but it still was not enough. the pistons fell apart from detonation.
This is however my opion on the dry kit. i have posted this info before and people think i am bashing the nitrous. i am not bashing but what ever you do DO nOT go with a dry kit

OK so go wet.

Still debating about it

I know it's more $$$ but I'm thinking about the ITS turbo kit.

If you value customer service and the continued life of your engine, you'll reconsider.

And if your looking at nitrous, get a good wet kit. And don't spray anything bigger than a 75 shot.

/\/\/\/\ Really MFuller?

Other than cost what are the pros and cons of a Zex wet kit over turbo or s/c.

In a nutshell, for nitrous:

pros-
  • easier installation
  • less initial cost
  • horsepower on demand
cons-
  • may not be legal for street use in your area (check local laws)
  • bottle refills get expensive after time
  • when the bottle is empty, the fun's over
With nitrous as well as any type of forced induction, proper tuning is critical. You'll want to invest in a scan tool also.

Think I'll just kick in an extra 200 to 300 bucks and buy headers

I'll just scrap the turbo/n2o/s/c idea
