Zex Nitrous Kit

[Redog]

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. :eek:

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 :smokin:

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? :wacko: :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
