Spray? or not to spray?

[Auzzie_Mp3]

Ok my friend just got his zex wet kit on his focus, and he loves it, he hasnt done any upgrades to the fuel or anything except new plugs. But it works perfect for him. And he is trying to convince me to buy a wet kit for my mp3...ive heard alot about blown motors on the forums and i really want to try to stay away from it. But then again i really want to spray.

Any suggestions of what to upgrade to avoid blowing my rings or anything like that.

I know if i am going to buy nitrous, it will be ZEX Wet kit, ive heard alot of good things about it, and i probably wont run it over a 50 shot maybe a little more. And i will buy new plugs. But should i buy new rings and rods, pistons, cams timing? anything to avoid a possible engine catastrophe. Any help would be appriciated.

I would suggest the dry kit actually. I have never known anyone to pop a motor with a ZEX dry kit but know several people with blown motors and wet kits.

I've used the zex dry in several cars without any problems or hiccups.

actually im waiting for you to get your engine forged so i can see your videos of your new WOMP kit in action. in teh course of about 20 minutes i went from wanting nitrous to wanting a SC kit.

 

[Super Matty P]

uh oh, gotta love that!

I'll have plenty more pics and videos prior to getting my forged Wagner motor. I'm going to be doing all of the testing and everything on a stock block so people can get an idea of what to expect. Once it's done and ready for sale I'll swap over my forged motor and crank the boost.... (naughty)

matty, i thought it was the other way around. most ppl here have blown their engines using dry kits. wet kits are far safer as the fuel is added for you at the same time as the no2. saves your ecu having to work it out (and we all know it's not the smartest ecu)

I think you may have got this backwards. The dry kit can make you lean out and detonate easier.

No, actually I stand by what I said.

ZEX DRY kits are very safe. If any of you have actually used one you'd know that it adds fuel EXACTLY the same way a wet kit does. It just delivers it differently. The ZEX NMU requires you to splice your NMU betwen the FPR and intake manifold. At WOT it measures the pressure on the IM and starts squeezing off the return fuel lne increasing pressure through the injectors....the exact same way FMU's on turbo cars work.

A wet kit simply re-routes the return fuel to a solenoid and ultimately mixes the fuel and N20 in the same nozzle tip.

They both work off return fuel pressure the only differece is how they are injected.

just NO

<--- blew with wet setup..


Linuxracr has blown with a dry setup


I wouldnt do nitrous again unless its in a race type car (with engine management, motor, etc)

Increasing fuel pressure is really not the way to go about it. You are only damaging the injectors in the long run.

If you are going to go about it right nitrous is a very good tool. I personally wouldn't run nitrous without full control over fuel and timing. I wouldn't up the boost without full control over those either. I would want to monitor what was going on also. If you just slap it on and add fuel you never know what is happening (until a piston flies out of your engine lol

I've always agreed with the phrase..."Nitrous doesn't blow up motors, stupid people with nitrous blows up motors"

As stated above, if you set up your car for running with n2o, and use it properly, then you should have no problems.

 

[protito]

So now that all this has been said, what is the answer, yes or no??? ZEX claims to have the safest system on the market. How many of you have actually used their kit and had problems???

 

[n2o99civicsi]

Are the people that are having problem with nitrous, not getting colder plugs? Making sure they have enough fuel? I'm not poking at anyone, I'm asking a serious question.
When I first installed the nitrous in my car, I didn't find out that I needed colder plugs until I melted my first set.

 

[Auzzie_Mp3]

you should get colder plugs, i know zex sells cold plugs seperate from the kit.

If you have Turbo i'd stay away from nitrous not unless its a fully built block then its ok.
Turbo and nitrous is just way too much stress on the motor & you dont want that.

Just so you know I've had NOS wet system on my honda and BP for over 2 years but they're non turbo engine. BTW there's only 2 things to mess ur engine up with a nitrous.
#1 is the mechanis that install the kit ( he better know what his doing and what type/how many shots/ etc... to put on the engine)
#2 is the driver. You better know when to shift and know what the limit is. Don't push your car to the limit.

Thats all folks....
