One more Q:
How important is a heater for the N2O tank? (I live in San Francisco...not too cold or hot). Is the heater mainly to increase pressure when the tank starts to get low...I'm assumign when the tanks full, the pressure regulator will maintain the correct pressure, but as the tank pressure drops delowe the regulator pressure, you'd start looseing the full effect. Is that right?

yes the fuel line.. is tapped directly from the car's fuel line then goes to the fuel solenoid.. unless you want to run another pump going to the fuel solenoid. and the fuel and nitrous dont mix until its ejected from the tip of the fogger..

now you can have a direct port or even a 2 stage nitrous system.. but as far as two different nozzles jetted differently, it would probably be less of a hassle and more cost efficient to just change the jets in the fogger before racing if you only want two nozzles to be able to switch between say a 35 and 50 shot..

importance of the bottle heater depends on you.. the less pressure, the less efficient nitrous is.. i think up in san francisco.. you're bottle will probably not be at the right pressure very often, especially at night. those bottle warmers get pretty hot.

i was told since i live in cali that a bottle warmer isnt needed since its very hot in the summer now but in the winter it would be good to have.

Not true.

Is this a wet or dry kit? Venom VCN-1000 Honda Nitrous System available on Ebay.

Looks like a dry kit. No fuel solenoid is listed in parts description and says it controls stock injectors to add fuel. Not an expert on this topic. but I think you would need a high flow fuel pump and bigger injectors to run this system safely.

A: A different car or engine. Seriously though, the 100 shot is possible with a lot of money and patience. If you try to run a 100 shot you WILL be taking the bus. In order to get there, you would need to build your internals. The common things you would need are a new intake manifold, rods, pistons, cam, etc.. If I am leaving anything you deem pertinent out, please feel free to add.

OK.. so here it goes ... My built motor should be finished this week ... I am building a turbo setup but I'm already running a Zex 75 wet kit and have been for about 2 years ... Here is my question.. If I want to run a 100-150 shot what would be required??? Here is the current setup ...

D17a2 sleeved and bored to 77mm with blockguard installed
Eagle rods
Diamond 77mm forged pistons 9.1:1 CR
Polished stock crank
Crower Reground cam
PnP head with stainless valves
Custom head gasket

I know the stock intake manifold wont pass but what about ignition timing??? And for the fuel question ... I already have emanage installed but it is currently running on all stock settings ... Any ideas??? Don't know how plausible the idea is but my brother asked and now I'm a little curious ... Any takers?

do you mean with or without the turbo? well.. if you do it.. your best bet is getting it tuned on a dyno.. i would suggest retard the timing and going direct port. also think about fuel delivery thats your biggest issue i would think.. if your turbo'd you might want the nitrous on its own fuel pump depending if you've got big boost or not

ok ... I was saying nitrous alone .... and your best bet with ANY major performance mod is to dyno tune I know .... And yes, I also know that for anything over a 75 shot (they say 55 but Ive been spraying a 75 with no timing change for years) you have to retard timing, but what I'm asking is can that timing change be accomplished with emanage ... I know it can on a turbo setup but I have no idea where to start when trying to run a huge nitrous shot and adjust ignition timing ...

myGFgottaCIV · 06-09-2005

^^^ i wouldn't know where to start either.

myGFgottaCIV · 06-15-2005

oh i might be selling my nos wet kit in a week or two if anyones interested

civicdragster02 · 06-16-2005

I have a question i bought a dry system for my 02 lx and then found out about our fvcked fuel system in your opions would it just be better to get a conversion kit and make it wet if so what do you have to do to the fuel sys to get a wet kit to work 55 shot

honda guy · 06-20-2005

i have a 2000 civic i been runing the dry zex kit for 3 years now and have not had one problem with the eninge at all.started with the 55 shot for a year then took it up to the 75 shot
