I love my NX kit, Sucks today thou, i Just washed my car took it for a quick drive remote opened the bottle, went to purge and NO plume from the purge GD ran out of N2O

I read up on the Zex just a little bit. Seems like this system uses only one solenoid, as opposed to NX's 2. It also doesn't require a throttle position microswitch like the NX kit does. This kit seems to wire in directly to your TPS (similar to the VENOM kits). ALL that means basically, is simpler installation. It also adjusts fuel pressure according to bottle pressure. Whereas I don't believe the NX kit does.

Keep in mind, that w/an n2o kit....you might want to opt for a few accessories such as a bottle warmer (to keep the pressure up to par when necessary), an n2o (in cabin) gauge, and a purge (good to clear the lines before spraying, and also to relieve pressure if you've managed to leave the bottle warmer on too long or you've built up way too much pressure otherwise).

I've heard good stuff about both of them, and from what I can see....the only factors that would really contribute to choosing is price, and simplicity of installation.

I know what you're saying, but just remember...n2o = instant power.

 
Rep Power: 298

does n2o cause any damage to the engine long term? Im contemplating getting this, but dont know yet, i dont want to have to buy a new engine in 5 years if i plan on keeping it. I probably would only get a 50 shot also.

Nitrous is not as dangerous as everyone thinks. Its the boneheads who end up blowing up their engines with it. Spray a 75 with a wet kit and you'll be alright. Just make sure you follow the instructions!

i used a nx kit for 2 years and now i am turbo equipped. your engine will last as long as you take care of it. be reasonable with your shots. don't do more than a 75 shot and you shouldn't have any problems.
for choosing a kit, well that depends on what you want. nx has a basic spray kit for around $600 and it works great. takes about 4 to 5 hours to install if you know what you are doing. i like this kit due to the fact you will always have enough fuel delivery, not to mention if you eventually due the super rebuild so you could to 100+ shots.

Way overpriced for what it's worth

If it was me.....i'd go with Zex wet kit

I'm going with the Zex wet kit. I just like the way the kit is put together. Plus it's a simplistic and clean install without the need for a physical WOT switch and having to run wires all over the place. IMO of course.

Actually, the Venom kit may be a little more expensive, but it also gives you a little more. The kit wires into your 02 sensor....because the activation switch sits next to a built in a/f reader. Red lean, green rich. It also has a status light (blue). This light would indicate to you, once the car was started up, that the system had completed all checks and was ready to run (upon activation via a toggle switch). If it blinked a certain number of times, it would indicate an error according to the number of blinks you got. For example, I believe 2 or 3 blinks was an 02 error (could indicate that the connection is bad or that you are running lean.....if you're running lean this usually flashed the error code during activation).

The venom nitrous kit (being that it's hooked up to your o2) when it senses you are running lean, not only will you be able to tell via the built in a/f lights, but also through the error code displayed, and also because the system will AUTOMATICALLY shut off when it detects you are running lean, therefore preventing detonation. This means....you're protected against dangerous overreving too. (If you hit fuel cut, it will detect a lean mixture and shut off for you).

This kit also hooks up into your TPS sensor....makin the need for throttle microswitch uneccessary.

Although the venom kit is a "dry" kit, it also hooks into your stock injectors (via wiring) to pulse the injectors, thus providing more fuel. I wouldn't recommend going above a 50 shot on it though simply because it merely pulses your injectors and your stock fuel system is only capable of so much even with this added feature. Most likely a fuel pump and/or fpr and/or an AFC might help in this obstacle. But the FPR option would require a return fuel conversion.
BUT REMEMBER.....the fact that it hooks up into your stock injectors increases the likelihood of your fuel being distributed more evenly across the board.

All of these features are controlled by a small module that can be easily mounted practically anywhere in the car. It includes easy to install wiring harness, multiple jets and very complete instructions including troubleshooting information.

The bottle is your basic 10lb bottle, but it includes a convenient handle for carrying....something that may seem minute, but still very convenient. It also provides steel mounting brackets for your bottle, that are tightened in a more secure way than your typical NX kit's flimsy alluminum brackets.

So all in all, it's a pretty advanced kit, and the one I described to you is the VCN1000, which was one of, if not THE first advanced kit they released. Since then, they've issued newer versions of the kit that offer a heads up digital display to help you monitor and possibly control more of the features on this kit.

And that about does it for VENOM kit 101. LoL

Sorry for the long post, but I thought it might be helpful for some of you guys out there that may have come across some misconceptions about this kit, and some good info for those iof you that actually care or like to learn.

^^^^ (see previous post for a nice run down of the Venom kit. )

Oh yeah and they;re website is awesome too. Not because it looks cool....but because the frequently post up vids of cars using their kits #1. Offer lots of troubleshooting info #2. Their customer service is pretty good #3. And #4....you can download any of the manuals (in PDF format) right off their site!!

man, u sure hyped the venom good it sounds awesome, the only thing that would sorta worry me was the non ability to raise the fp thru a fpr becuse of the returnless fuel. i f u did want to got to the 75 shot u would really want the wet kit, which it isnt, which would b the only thing stopping me from getting it, everything else tho on it seems awesome....

The venom kit is the best kit for are cars but they dont have any accessories. Thats the bad thing about the kit. I would go with the zex kit.

 
Rep Power: 0

Accessories.....you mean like bottle warmer, purge and gauges? Those are easy to get and even if they did offer them, you'd have to buy them separately as with any other kit. You're best bet for a bottle warmer is an NOS bottle warmer. Cheap and easy. Purge? Same thing. THey're both less expensive from NOS and quite easy to install. They would fight right in w/the Venom kit too because it wouldn't have to wire into the module...as with any kit, you'd have separate switches for both those extra options. And gauges? Autometer. It's prolly your least expensive option, and i'd choose an in cabin gauge for easier pressure monitoring.

A return conversion is quite simple. But honestly, you're most inexpensive option is NX. And it works GREAT!!!!! I wouldn't recommend the NOS system, to be frank, merely because of experience. I've had plenty of friends that use the system, and are always having solenoids crap out on them.

Thank for the info spdrcrchk. I am thinking about getting the venom kit again. The only reason I was not going to get the venom kit was because of the accessories. I did not know that the nx stuff would fit the venom. I still like the zex kit too. So which one should I get now?

Where is a good place to buy a NX or Zex kit?

 
Rep Power: 0

It really depends on if you want a used kit or a brandnew kit. If you check on ebay you can find NX kits pretty cheap, but I believe that they are mostly used. I didnt want to mess around with a used kit so I bought mine brandnew from Jegs Performance. Although I received free shipping, I had to pay full retail price for my NX kit and accessories which totaled almost $1000. Some would say I easily wasted a lot of money which is probably true, but I wanted a brandnew kit so thats what I got. Sure the Venom kit seems to be more high tech and its probably a good kit just like SpdRcrChk said; I surely dont doubt her knowledge however for some reason I just dont trust dry kits.

I've got a NX kit that i picked up slightly used for $300 USD. Before i bought it i did a ton of research on the individual kits and decided that i like the ZEX kit because of a few safety features...but when i found the NX for sale for cheap i looked into those safety features and found that while they sound safer and more advanced than NX methods...it really is a bit overkill. Both systems are fool proof.....the ZEX might be .01% safer...but its negligable. And besides...NX had a maximizer system out that makes it fully adjustable like the Venom kit
And also...the selanoids flow much more.

I'm looking forward to rep'ing the 7thgens for sure.

i have the venom kit on my car for around 8 months and went to at least 6 fills on the bottle since. i do love this kit, it is a very good for beginer such as my self when i know nothing of nitrous system and it works. the only down fall is the venom box (computer monitor). just a little off and it will be cut off. the system also take longer to be ativated. meaning you will have to wait for the car to warm up. this feature is good.

as i read more about nitrous and how it works i perfer the nx over the venom and the zex system. you can go with the nx system and go with safety features that (Nosbrand company) makes to kill your system if it get to lean.

what i really trying to say is you don't have that much of fun as the nx is to the venom and the zex. its all control by computer.

LoL Yes. And if you can find someone locally selling a kit, even better. That way you see what you're getting, and you prolly don't spend as much as on a new one.

I was thinking of buying kjgracing's NX kit, or i can get a brand new zex kit for $515 shipped, $90 for the purge, and $40 for the guage? What do you think would be the best route to go?

Get kjgracing's NX kit...you'll get more goodies in the package while saving a lot more money in the process and you'll be really happy you went with NX after you try that kit.
