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....

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.

What is the better way to go??????? to avoid accidental harm to your car

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.

I think I'm gonna go without the nitrous. What does anyone recommend me to do to my supercharger for maximum boost???

Hello,

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

Both extensive work to install.

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 .

Chico have you heard of any problems with the zex. I don't want to kill my car so I'm not sure about it. What would you do to tewak the supercharger????

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?

any help?

last ? i think... can the stock tranny handle it, what other small mods would be best to have before nitrous, if any

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.

My opinion. god its been a while. If you have a supercharger you dont need nitrous. Plain and simple a lot more 'no fill' mods to make more reliable horsepower. IE intercooler once you have it you always have more power you dont have to run out of intercooler but you do run out of nitrous aka the big NOS!!!! FYI if you get nos do not advertise doing so is gay.

this has been a community message approved by the 4t8 states..........

I'm not sure what you mean Zach "FYI ifyou get nos do not advertize doing so is gay" nos is like any power adder if used on a stock engine its not the best option ,but if used on a built engine as an additional boost its a great way to stay competive,as far as nos on a S/C car lots use it as a reliable and highly tunable extra punch,but I would consider an intercooler a better option ,but for a N/A application it's great ,one safe way to add it is by useing a rpm window switch where the nos is applied at say 3000rpm's this greatly reduces some of the risk involved,FYI most of the top classes in NHRA use NO2 as an addition power adder if thats gay pass the vaseline.

thanks Chico, I hve a few mechanical things to do on my GTP this summer and after reading some ZEX results thought it maybe an option, but now I might reconsider it.
