I have about 1k in my system, but it's a dual bottle system that has some more expensive parts to insure a fully concealed installation (even bottles are hidden).
If I can get a kit together with all the good stuff for under 900, would there be interest?

List what a $900 kit would come with and I'll get some money together.

Would you need a dual nozzle setup if you have a dual intake or would one nozzle spraying into one of the intake tubes do?

Re: Zex Nitrous install, with detailed step by step pics
curious but spraying that far back what would keep the distribution of the nitrous even? would just as much go into the first runner on the intake manifold as the third one on each side, seems like the only way for complete even distribtion would be down each port into the cyclinders... Not a nitrous guy but i would love to tinker around with it but only as safely as possible.

the nitrous nozzle has to be within 6 in of the throttle body. it disperses as a fog so each manifold should get an even amount it should flow the same as normal air would.

Re: Zex Nitrous install, with detailed step by step pics
Ok here is one of my dumb questions.
Putting a kit like the one Anthony is trying to put together for us would gain what?
I have N/A with the tvt tune and larger injectors and an intake.
Keeping NOS to a safe limit what guess are we talking in the 1/4?
13.5? ish or is this too optimistic?
Thanks :}

Re: Zex Nitrous install, with detailed step by step pics
I have been checking out the thread, I think you guys might be the right dudes to talk to. I have an 04 na with 38k on it. I want to shove a little power into it now. I am thinking nitrous, as if I dump too much money into it I mine as well go buy something else. What can I throw into a stock motor and not blow her up? if the motor had a few motor mods how much more power could I pour into it? Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

257 seems low pusperti? im under the impression that shot size is in WHP considering stock whp is around 175 adding a 125 shot would be 300whp ballpark? not to mention you have just about every mod for the n/a motor. fill me in with some details what was your best dyno with the 75shot?

My 04 NA comes with 215 stock right? is that rear wheel or engine? And 257 does sound low with the mods plus nitrous. But ive seen videos of your car and it runs like a fat kid chasing a chocolate cake down the quarter mile. Would I be able to pick your brain a little more when I get ready to make a decision?

Re: Zex Nitrous install, with detailed step by step pics
I got 257 HP to the wheel, reading right of the Dynojet machine. Remember that is more than the SRT6 has to the rear wheel. But you are right its low. When I had just the one shot of 75 HP I used an aggressive ECU tune (a little lean with the knock sensor on). To add more nitrous I had to back that ECU down quite a ways to keep the knock sensor off. Here is the link to my shot of 75 HP dyno at 238 HP to the wheel. (http://www.paulscrossfire.com/performanceideas.htm ) In conclusion when I added the shot of 50 to the shot of 75 I lost major power on the ECU tuning, to come out at the end of the 2 stage upgrade with a gain of 19 HP to the wheel. But I'm also running a lot saver now, a little rich instead of a little lean which is a good thing with nitrous and no knock sensor. So I don't recommend more than a shot of 75 HP! Unless to like to throw your pay checks down the drain. My last quarter mile was 14 months ago, and I got 13.7 now I got to go try it again and see. It would be great to see a 12.9 but who knows?
