dry nitous system

getting the nx 50 shot dry system, what else do I need to do to my car to prep for it?? I got the headers, hi flow cat and full exhaust. Bosch platinum+4 plugs, cold air intake, aem adjustable cam gear. What is the danger of running lean on a 50 shot dry system?? Should I look at putting on a adjustable fuel regulator and bumping up the pressure a bit??

If anyone installed one of these on their 2001 civic ex, please pm me with some info, thanks!!!

OEFFINGELL!

A) NX makes both wet and dry kits.

and

B) PLATNUM/IRIDIUM PLUGS ARE NOT GOOD FOR NITROUS AND/OR FI APPLICATIONS.

Get NGK-BKR7E plugs. They are available from most import shops or you can order them from summitracing.com. I pay 10 bucks for a set of four plugs. Iridium plugs will melt and cause serioius internal problems to your engine when it does. Gap the plugs to stock specifications before installing.

sorry, it is the NEX kit. They say it is useable, it feeds right into the air intake. I'm not asking for opinions on wether I should or shouldnt by people that dont have it, I am asking for advice from people that DO have it and how they did their set-up.

NEX makes coilovers, ZEX makes nitrous systems.

ZEX is non upgradable. You wont be able to make it wet, and that directly effects the ammount of nitrous you can safely run... plus its purple, and made in france

i HIGHLY reccomend NX or NOS nitrous. And yes, this is coming from a veteran nitrous user.

A window switch so you can control the rpm range where you spray.

The NX kit comes with everything you need, wot switch (full throttle) all the wiring and connectors that you need, it also comes with a activation switch but it is cheap. The kit that is made for our cars is wet. As far as Zex they will have a wet kit out later next year. If you have any questions about the kit just email me. Hope this helped you out.
