I was just doing some reading on zex nitrous and i learned that it controls when the nitrous is added. It says if armed, the nitrous enters when you hit full throttle (do they mean redline?????) Is this a safe way to prevent damage to your car by having a computer control the injection not you??

Let me know this is confusing me.... confused confused

You can either set up nitrous where you can hit the red button whenever you want and get that extra boost, or you can set it to a throttle position so whenever you floor it, the nitrous will spray.

That's my basic understanding.

Most quality NO2 systems have a safety switch that you install on the gas pedal. Redline is way too late. You only want the NO2 spraying when you are WOT (gas pedal to the floor). If you install it according the manufacturers directions all should be good.

With NOS I would get a prof install just to be really safe, its not like a regular mod you could very seriously damage or destroy your car if its not used properly. To avoid accidental damage to your car when nitrous is involved, dont use nitrous. Just IMO, if your willing to risk it for the boost then im all for it but its not a 100% safe thing to do.

Hello,

Most effective....Intercooler
Least costly......H20 Injection

Both extensive work to install.

Later now,
Clint

Nitrous is relatively safe and simple,I would recommend a zex dry system,a 75hp shot is max on this system ,you first have an arming switch to activate the system then you only have to go wot to get boost .

I'm not too sure what you said but I'll try if your running a Zex kit on a super charged car best bet is to use a throttle body spacer and inject nitrous at that point.

I have 160Stat, tranny cooler, spacer and 180 rocker arms, would it be safe for such a set up to have nitrous installed?
I was thinking of installing the short stack intercooler that ZZP sells. any thoughts?

When they say armed they mean there is nitrous to the solinoid ,so when you go to wot(peddle to the metal)nitrous will then enter your intake ,with the dry system when nitrous is activated it increaces fuel pressure to give your injectors more fuel,quite a simple system and relatively safe.any more questions?

beefing the tranny in our cars is always a good idea when it comes to high HP mods...and make sure the system you install has some means of increasing the fuel shot with the nitrous...N2O only makes the air/fuel mix colder and therefore more dense to create more power...if N2O is introduced with out increased fuel it will create a lean condition at WOT.
