I have a vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator from the NMU. And the other vacuum line from the NMU to the intake where the FPR hose use to go on the intake.

do you have to have a FPR for this dry kit to work?
All SHOs have a FPR, without one it won't work! Its located just to the right of the DIS when looking under the hood.

Dr. Evil had pictures up on the same thread but apparently the links are no longer valid.

Hey masho95-
Could you please tell me which wire/hose is which coming out of the NMU. I'm thinking about going the zex route for next spring, and I'd like to have some idea of what I am doing before that time comes. Also, would I do well to have a second LPM reburned for nitrous use, or does the NMU have enough flexibility to make adjustments? According to my last dyno run, I am allready on the rich side (12:1).

Thanks
Mike :thumb:

All the details you'll need for the Zex kit is included in the kit. But the two black hoses in the front of the picture on the left side of the NMU are the two vacuum hoses. I don't remember offhand which is which but ones goes to the FPR and the other to the vacuum port where the FPR used to plug into. And BTW I'm not running a LPM for a 75hp shot with the Zex. You should be fine running up to a 75hp shot with the Zex without any additional tuning.

Like masho95 said. It's all in the instructions and is easy. How do you get the instructions to read a head of time you ask. Go to my post, 4 post up and click on the top link and it will answer all your questions and more. Print it out to have and read again. Use the other link to cruise the site and check out the assesories and have fun on it. Got pics to use for wallpaper. And don't be afraid to call the 800 # and talk to a rep. They are nice. If you want I can find the name of the guy I talked to. :thumb:

Thanks for the input :thumb: I read the installation instructions on the zex website. It sounds pretty easy too me. I just wanted to have a grasp on some SHO specific info.

This Zex kit may be coming to me as payment for installing a turbo-back exhaust on a friends STi. Talk about a win-win. 13.8 here I come :burn_out: I'm accepting wagers on how long the tranny will last now.

Bingo! :p

I think the only thing that you need to know that masho95 could answer is, which wire in the TPS do you hook the white wire? On my Gen III it was the middle wire. There is three wires on the Gen II I believe without going out and looking on mine. I believe it should be the same. :thumb:
