I think Zex is better suited for domestic autos, but I am not sure.

zex works great on any car EXCEPT 2001 civics. in order to run zex, you have to have a VACUUM SENSITIVE FPR. 2001+ civics do not have this. all other civics ever made do but not ours. just tell them to try and locate the vacuum hose connecting the fpr and intake manifold. after they search for a few hours and don't find it, then they'll realize what i'm saying.

if you go with NOS, you MUST go with a wet kit. dry kits will not work. I personally run a Nitrous Express kit. this too is a wet kit. NX makes wet kits only. i feel the components are better made and more durable. also, with NX, you do not have to retard your timing! some will disagree, but NX specifically tells you not too. honestly though, whether you go with NX or NOS, you can't go wrong. nitrous is nitrous.

cause some Honda engineer thought they'd try something different this time around? i don't know.

this doesn't apply to 2001+ civics only either. i believe the newer celicas also have this same set-up.
