Hey, i want to get the zex wet kit this summer and i am wondering what times i would be running. i have a lx sedan with full 2 1/4" exhaust, gneric intake, and soon getting a header. The kit comes with 55,65,75 shots, so if you have a kit, please post your times or what you have beat on the street. the main car i want to be faster then is a friend's 2 door accord, like a 97 or 98, before flat rear lights. he has a cam gear he claims added 42 whp and
2 1/4" exhaust. will i beat him? my other friend has a eclipse running 30 psi low boost 37 high, no lie, pushing over 450 to the wheel, i want to keep up also a friend has a 1972 dodge dart with a 340 and 4 barrel edelbrock carb, he beats me by about 2 cars in a straight line, kick his *** in corners though i mainly want to beat the accord and dart, will it happen with 75 shot? Before you say search, i read the whole nitrous faq and numerous other post on nitrous, but no post with just times and kills, so post em' up.

55- low 15s
65- high 14s
75- mid to high 14s

Eclipse, and Dart both still own.

Playing with nitrous is playing with fire.....seriously...be careful.

i am plannin to go nitrous soon and many people say its reliable depending on how you use it and how its installed. And at sac raceway some guy pulled a 14.3 off a 75 shot.

I ran a 50 shot and it was pretty nice.. ran a mid 15. and then decided to put the 75 on and wow what a diff.. my best was a 14.7 and that was bad cause i would spin so much..i would beat my friends stock gt all day with it and he ran a 14.4. but now i regret using it. it was a wet kit but car doesn't feel the same and its a strain on ur motor. i would make sure your a/f ratio is good.. i heard the venom kits hook up to ur comp or has its own comp and makes sure that it's running appropriatly. just becareful..

Heck, best my Accord ever ran stock was a 16.8, even if he properly degreed the cam and has exhaust, I'd think you'd be a good run for him as you are if not with similar bolt-ons.

I wanna run a 100 shot when I get my motor back from Crower...
What do you guys think my 1/4 mile times could be???? ( Oh and yeah don't bother to tell me bout clutch, A\F ratios, axles, etc etc etc) just want to hear you expectations on the times I could expect...

 
Rep Power: 285

with a 100 shot!? Whoa, i'd say low 14 only cuz you'd probably have no traction in 2nd and some of 3rd.

I ran a 14.4 in the quarter 2.34 60ft on a 75 shot w/ full interior, stock clutch, worn out drags, them shitty springs I used to have, and not to mention it was my first day with the kit completely installed and my first time using it at the track. High 13's are possible with a 75 shot.

I am actually aiming to get into the 12 sec bracket.

I know the eclipse will still own me but i don't think the dart will. with a 75 shot on, i think i will own the dart. i almost beat it completely stock!! the dart is an automatic btw. I don't think i will run quite as fast as some of you cause i have a 7 cubic foot box for 2 15's and subs that weigh 30+ a piece and two big *** amps that weight probably 20 a piece. that is probably an extra 200 pounds with spare removed. how much do you think that will slow me down?

 
Rep Power: 0

^^That would typically make you 2 tenths of a second slower in the 1/4 mile which is more than most people realize, in terms of acceleration.

 
Rep Power: 0

so if i would normally run a 14.6, with my equipment i would run around a 14.8? that is not too bad.

 
Rep Power: 0

that's what I'm aiming for by the end of next year and the record ET for a D17. If I can run 15.1 NA It should be possible. I'm gonna go with a 35 shot(high13's-Low14's) at first when I get back, then save for clutch and flywheel over the summer. Up it to 50shot(est. low to mid 13's) and see how close that get's me. Then maybe step up to 75 shot to bust into the high 12's. I was gonna go with ZEX kit too, but the NX kit is dyno proven within 2% whp on each shot. Install is gonna be a lot harder but the extra power per shot compared to the ZEX will be worth it.
NX seems to be the wiser choice over ZEX.
About $900 for the basic kit and Gen X kit, which is just about everything you need to run it at full potential.

ummmm..... sorry but you will NEVER, and yes there is an echo in here, NEVER, get into the 13's on a 75 shot... you do realize there are turbo kits for our cars that produce and extra 120+ HP on our cars at 10 PSI... and they barely run high 13's low 14's... so how in the world do you expect to get into the 12's with a 75 shot?? lol this outta be good

might wanna lower your expectations otherwise ur gonna be in for a lot of disappointment in life my friend

You have some learning to do, because there are guys on this board who claim they have already hit 13s on a 75 shot and I'll be the first to say that I think it IS possible. You shouldnt try to talk down to people when it comes to something you obviously dont know much about.

 
Rep Power: 0

Very wise decision, on all my Hose cars, I have used NX kits. Not only are they more consistent, but the solenoids last longer than the NOS solenoids, and many of the NOS knockoffs.

I'd like the ZEX system more if they offered more comprehensive backing with related products as the larger companies do.

 
Rep Power: 0

The guy said he wanted to be in the 12's with a 75 shot (full interior). If you he can get into 12s w/ a 75shot then why would anyone buy turbo's. According to that statement if my friends stock gt pulled a 13.9 w/ his new 150 shot he should run what around High 10's? too many factors involved and getting all the power to the ground so even if your getting 225whp and 220lbs your not in the 12's unless fully stripped and a hell of a driver and a 100 shot imo i'll get you into the 12's.

^^I'd be very interested in seeing what Redline can do with nitrous. Afterall, he did run a 15.1 n/a.

 
Rep Power: 0

That's true i'm just saying i don't think it's possible for 12's with 75 shot w/ full interior if he's going for it i would like to hear a bit of his setup. Good luck runnin 12's more power to ya if you do.

 
Rep Power: 0

I never said 12s were possible on a 75 shot so where are you coming from?

im currently running a zex 75 shot on my vic. i havent done any 1/4 mile runs yet but im running very traction limited 9.6-9.7 in the 1/8. lots of spinning in part due to a crappy track here. running nitrous is perfectly safe is you use a wet kit and are running correct air fuel ratios. it will however gradually burn up your piston rings.nitrous is only unsafe when a lean condition exists. you should always use a wet kit. adding more fuel with the nitrous is the only sure way to keep from going lean. i'm running 11.9 to 12.6 air fuel which isnt pig rich but far from dangerous. the zex kit wont make as much power as the nx kits. nx rates the power at the wheels where as zex rates it at the flywheel. you can read my sig to see my power levels. zex kits use the control module which reads your air fuel ratios while spraying. if you start to go lean it will cut nitrous flow to save your motor. nx wont do that. i also recommend you get a purge and a bottle heater. purge will clear your lines of gaseous nitrous and give you a pure shot of liquid nitrous. get a NOS or edelbrock bottle heater as you can bypass thermostats on these two and get a much better bottle pressure. good luck and have fun.

This is sorta why I kinda believe what honda tuning claimed when they did the NX install on the 7th gen back in 02'

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah. my bottle pressure was pretty low when i made my pulls on the dyno though. i got bottle heater now. gonna run again soon with 1200 psi and race gas. and tune with vafc.

1200? damn! Be careful.

yeah isnt it good just to have it around 900?

^^I think 1000-1050 is awesome on the NX kits.

This is why you need to learn to fu.cking read... the kid said he thinks he'll definitely be high 12's with a 75 shot, not HIGH 13's which are possible but still guys with 75's stuggle to even get that.... so please next time please go to college and take an english class and learn to read before you go off telling me i don't know **** when it's right in front of you face what the previous kid said, and what i commented on to how he's never gonna hit 12's on a 75 shot... not to mention his tranny will go long before he hit's 12's... asshat!!!

I'm in college and I do know how to read. This is what you said and this is what I was commenting on ***.

 
Rep Power: 0

That's just what I like to hear. People telling me I can't do something. People said I'd never run 14's NA. Well I came pretty damn close and that's with only one trip to the track with my new setup. I am confident it would have happened if I had the ability to make a couple more trips. But I had to leave the country. None the less I'm running times NA that some people are running with a 50shot. Not trying to be an errogant ***, but that's just the facts.
Ok just because they are pushing an extra 120hp doesn't mean they are getting it all to the ground nor does it mean they have the driving skills to harness all that power. That's why I said I'll wait until I get a new clutch and flywheel before I go above a 35 shot. And I don't know where this full interior thing got started but I never said anything about that. My car weighs somewhere between 2200-2250lbs and it will be getting lighter. I have a few other little mods in mind that will help me get there too. Maybe your right and I won't do it, but do you think that's gonna stop me from trying.
Oh I never said it was a definite, just an est., so you might want to read next time and you said 13's with a 75shot. Better think before you type in the future to prevent further humiliation.

 
Rep Power: 0

I'm not humiliated, i made a mistake in my typing, but i was commenting on you saying that... and i believe i quoted it up top...

"step up to 75 shot to bust into the high 12's" doesn't sound like an estimate to me, sounds like ur confident, almost like a guarantee... but either way i give you props for being a determined man and wanna prove other wrong... i can't definitely respect that...

but one more thing, our cars weigh 2675 lbs STOCK, just wondering where you shaved off 400+ lbs already... i'm curious, maybe you can teach the rest of us a trick or two... hell the son of FI 7thgen have 2/3 the exterior in CF, and that shaved 500 LBS so lemme know man, not calling you a liar.. yet? just want more info thanks and good luck in the desert, you are a respectable man in my book for that alone, Thanks man!

and like i said, not ripping on you anymore, just want info
