Rep Power: 0 I'm about to add a ZEX system to mine. It's a simple system that increases fuel delivery using the stock controller based on N2O delivery. I've got a NOS setup on my Mach 1 that required separate fuel plumbing and pressure regulation. It's a bigger headache than the ZEX system, but still worth it.
Nitrous is the best bang for the buck that there is. Some folks consider it cheating. I say BS. Speed is speed. Yeah it's nice to do it all on the motor. But a little spray will put a big grin on your face.
You'll need to open up the exhaust from the cat back and get an intake that you can tap for the spray. A new heavy duty clutch is also in order before you grenade the stock one.

Rep Power: 0 As I understand it, the ZEX system uses the existing vacuum ported fuel pressure regulator to regulate fuel flow at the injector to compensate for the nitrous, which allows for a dry install. Is this not the case??? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 the ZEX kit does it electronically on our cars..there's no vacuum lines for fuel regulation it's all ECU programmed...the ZEX kitbasically tell's the ECU to use more fuel..

Rep Power: 0 why can't you run a chip with nitrous? I know it will advanced ignition timing, but wouldn't the chip help keep the other mods in check? can someone tell me why the chip wont work in conjunction with the nitrous.

It's not like the chip isn't going to work, but the chip is programmed for the way your car runs without the nitrious. . So when you hit the nitrious the computer is still running the car like it doesn't have nitrious so you're not going to gain the max potential from it.
If that makes sense.
