New ZEX Wet Kit ... Couple ?s

Dry kits on the protege is almost a guarantee that you will kill your motor. I went with the wet kit for that rare time I might actually use it.

I also went ahead tonite and got my steering wheel gauge pod, and the electrical AutoMeter Cobalt Nitrous pressure gauge. $180 for a freakin gauge is nuts but at least I wont have to run a pressurized nitrous line to the gauge :)

Please keep us posted on how the install went, and also the performance results. I may be interested in this kit as well, I would love to know. Are you planning on doing before and after dyno runs?
 
no it really doesnt.. i have seen 3 integra motors blow off zex.. trust me.. the only thing we did to save them was FPR and upped the fuel.. now ur gas mileage goes to s***.. but u dont run lean.. dont believe the hype.. nos is bad.. unless.. you are anal about what gas u run in the car.. checking your plugs.. doing hella s***.. most people wont do.
 
or if u have a big block domestic like the mustang gt that my buddy is runnin 150 shot on..
 
mypfizzle, do you have any more info on what exactly the teg's were runnin? I mean dry or wt kits and what size shot cause most of the time I see ads for honda/acura kits they range from 50-100 shots and the most common ones are 75. so if they are runnin a larger shot and it is dry there could be reasons they suffer more detonation.

Plus what type of integras were they, and were they modded with jdm parts, like my buddy just added a typrR head to his GSR bottom end and his compression ratio is now higher and a higher comp ratio would be more susceptable to burnouts from FI and gas arent they?
EVen a stock teg has a higher comp ratio than our cars huh? plus most people here do a 35-55 shot, i would be fine with a 35 personally.

I agree that nos isnt something you can setup so it wont be detrimental to your engine, it obviously isnt good for it, but for gurly's use I dont see problems.

So to get back on topic, gurly looks like it is gonna turn out nice, especially with the custom mount, but i read in another post you arent doing the cage anymore? so any new ideas on where your gonna mount it? Also does your kit have the option to go to a 35 shot or is it set at 55 permanently.

Also where did u order from?

I can get other jets to lower the shot ...

We are still working with DGM to get the cage ... but I have my plan if the cage falls through :)

I got it from Import Car Parts Plus ... from their ebay auctions.

OT postwhoring..
the integra was a pair of 91 integras..
1. intake exhaust header 75 shot zex dry
2. intake exhaust stage 3 crowler cams 75 shot zex dry Fuel pressure regulator skunk 2 intake mani.. and some other goodies.

they all popped motors
#1 popped a motor cus it went lean on WOT cylinder 1 got a hole blow in it and cylinder 2 was toasted inside.
#2 car number #1 popped a second motor.. ran lean.. motor popped.. we are thinking bad plugs.. cylinder 1 + 2
#3 car number #2 blew a motor and a tranny spark plug in cylinder 2 broke a piece of porceline off in the motor.. somehow blew a hole in the motor and the tranny got a hole blown thru it.

integras are fun. after doing 3 of these motor swaps we got pretty good at it.. we can pull a old motor and slap a new one in in about 4 hours.
 
the integras are gone now.. one guy has gone onto a 02 mustang gt runnning 150 shot.. and the other guy has a gsxr on nos. -=P
 
id be willing to bet that mustang will beat almost everything on this forum -=\ /sarcasm
i dont get why people hate those care so much? maybe its just envy.. the fact that adding a intake is like 10 hp.. where on our lil 4 bangers its like 2. -=\ and the worst excuse ive ever heard is.. thats not fair.. u have 4 more cylinders than me (this was after the other guy started the race)
anyways.. 2002 mustang gt droptop- 75mm throttle body, intake, xpipe, pulleys, 150 shot zex kit
with some other goodies to get installed.. after we get em in ill post timeslips -=)
ok im done whoring out her thread. -=)

Sounds like someone really wants a Mustang.
 
hrmm, i chose this car because it was a four cylinder. I could have gotten a mustang if i had wanted one, but something about getting good gas mileage and not haveing the same car as everyone else appealed to me
