Nitrous how to

20gtvert03 · September 21st, 2008, 01:46 AM

Alright i used the search and got a lot of info. Now what i need to know is which do you recommend the NEX or ZEX kit, I have found a deal on both. So how do you use the n02. Can you get a window switch and WOT switch for the Zex kit? and were do you get your bottle filled, and how much does it cost? And can i get away with a 100 shot without a tune, I well have a tuner(SCT), well it help? I didnt want to go N02 but a KB is a long way off and i want to take the local camaros and vettes, do you guys think i should get all of this for a car that well not see the track for a couple of years.

nitrous is usually around 3.00-4.50 a pound depending where you are and what the shops want to charge. speed shops are usually where you get them filled. both zex and n/x are great kits, its a personal preference. at 100 shot, you dont need a tune, but to be safe you can pull 1 degree out off stock timing. be sure to run 1 stage colder plugs and 91+ octane fuel. the zex kit has the WOT switch built in the box, a winsow switch and a fpss are other safety items you may want to look into getting.

I'm not really into nitrous, but I heard ZEX is probably the best, mainly because of its system; something about it being electronic and automatically doing...stuff. I'm not sure what makes it so much better, I'm just repeating what I've heard.

i run the NX plate kit and I have run a zex kit in the past. I personally like the NX kits and their customer service is outstanding. but whatever Sweet2kstanng said is correct

Is the install easy? How many runs can you get out of a 10lb bottle? And how do you activate the nitrous, is their a button you press? And can you pull timing with a tuner, And what is the benefit of a bottle opener?

I have a ZEX kit on my 02' GT, the nitrous is activated by you TPS sensor and engages at WOT. I usually get around 90 to 120 seconds off my 14 lb. bottle. Cost is around $35.00 to fill it. Yes you can pull timing with a tuner and the benefit of a bottle opener is that you dont have to reach back and manually open the valve on the bottle when you need it. Make sure you get a bottle heater as you will need it to get the bottle pressure up . If you have any questions on this set up ask me i have all the mods and a lot of info on this subject.

I have an NX kit, and I highly reccomend their products. I have an FJO window switch, trust me if you're new to spray spend the extra money to make it fool proof. NX jetting is more accurate than others. I run a 200 shot, so I had to have a tune. Also I would reccomend a tune for any shot. I get my bottles filled at "Fluid Power" they charge me $5.00 a pound. Also you might want to consider a blow down tube, or purge. I also would reccomend a bottle heater, and remote bottle opener.

SWEET2KSTANG · September 21st, 2008, 10:37 PM

nitrous is activated how ever you want it be. usually activated with a toggle switch and a WOT switch. some activate it with a WOT and a push button momentary. i fill my own bottles, i dont have to worry about looking for a shop

I don't really care though. They're close, and they take care of me. I only pay for one of my bottles. The other they hook me up with for free.
