about to install zex wet kit! Need pics

Heya Pplz,

I finally have my Zex Wet Kit in front of me!

I've been doing like 9 months research, have read the installation manual & everything! Feeling confident - wanna rip into the install!

I need some final pointers about where to mount the NMU (Nitrous Management Unit) and also where have u guys tapped(T'd) into your fuel line (pic of that would be sweet too).

Finally running the 55 Shot, is the No2 Jet #32, Fuel #17 going to put me in a good A/F ratio with my current setup?

Thanks

I made a bracket for the nmu and bolted it to the top of my intake manifold. I have seen other members do anything from zip tie to screw it into the rear center of the body where the vin number is stamped. [IMG][/IMG]
If those are the n2o/fuel sizes that the instructions say to use then they will be fine. for the fuel line buy 3 feet of fuel injection hose and some good hose clamps. ,remove your stock one and use the fuel injection hose for the splice. I double clamped my hoses just to be safe.

I would mount your nozzles into that rubber piece that holds your intake to the throttle body. Seems to work the best and you dont' have to drill through your intake piping.

haha, I was wondering what that box thing was (ABS). I saw that on a few other civics, but mine was the only one w/o it. Thanks for clearing that up. I have a LX.

N2O = Sandblasting your pistons = No good.

That's what i'll most likely do. I'll tap into my metal intake, like most of you have done (and the instructions mention).

.

Only one last question is what about the hole? When I decide to pull out the kit at a later stage?

you will have to use your imagination there. find a small rubber plug that will work or use a short bolt and plug the bulkhead fitting.

or should I just mount the nozzel in the rubber piece directly spraying into the intake manifold?

Zex says "Optimum Nozzle Placement Is 6" to 18" From The Throttle Body". That's where I put mine, works fine.

that is the easy way. many members have sprayed from there with no bad experiences.
