The ZEX is ALIVE! :D

Well I fixed my major issue yesterday with the nitrous setup and decided why not take it for a spin today and give it a shot (no pun intended). Seems I lost my 75hp nitrous jet when I was messing with it on the highway when it broke down the other day. So I installed the smaller 65hp jets and gave it a little romp. WOW. That's about all I can say, it gives the car a nice little kick. Then I started think about the supercharged guys out there that have that kinda power all the time available to them. I want one of those now!! Anyways it seems to be all set and I'm really happy with the setup.

sweet, .............pics :drool:

Take it to the track and see the difference between the new time and the NA

I have to agree eric. I had N20 on one of my 89's and that let me to wanting to turbo my car. Oh and put Nitrous on it

is the 75hp jet in your engine somewhere?

Lol no, when I pulled the nitrous line off the nozzle I took the nitrous jet out and put it on top of the radiator guard, you know right about the fan. I was getting flustered with everything that just happened and forgot all about it. I'm sure I knocked it off and it's on the ground somewhere on the side of the Mass Pike.

Oh, here are a few pictures of the setup...

Oh and here's what the nitrous backfire in the intake did to the throttle body plate.

Eric be sure to check the hose for leaks where you are spraying the N20. When i had mine hooked up there i had a leak and was loosing like 30hp. If you want to drill and tap your un-bent TB i've got a tap

Well the "un-bent" TB is on the car right now, and I think I may just leave it that way... beside the Zex instruction suggest installing the nozzle 6-12 inches away from the TB. I took the throttle body tubing and drilled a small hole. Then I took the tap that was included in the kit (meant for tapping a metal source) and actually ran the tap through the throttle body tubing. I was kinda surprised, but it actually worked and there's a couple good "rubber" threads in there. The nozzle screwed right into the TB and we'll see how it handles being setup like that.

there should be a bulkhead connector that screws on both sides of the throttle body tubing. The nitrous nozzle should then screw into that bulkhead connector.

Ive ridden in a healthy nitrous'd mtx, and it was fast, but seat of the pants, it was tough to tell. The blower car is far more impressive (unless you ran a 300 shot I suppose, lol boom), but the nitrous'd car put down damn near identical torque numbers to my car. I whipped it for peak hp, but still.........bang for buck, cant beat the gas.
