  • 96 3800 on a zex kit?

    my friend bought a new zex kit for his altima he told me it was a dry kit and it works like a wet since the cpu adjust the fuel injectors to give mroe fuel hes sellign it to me for 300 with all the accessories im wondering how well will it work my firebird with only intake exhaust?


    any problems using a dry kit ive always used a wet kit in all of my cars

    i heard dry kits are better than wet kits for our cars. But everyone has their opinions (i personally dont use nos, well not yet ;) ). Anyways it sounds like its a sweet deal for the kit!

        The NOS kits are the same way, while spraying they boost fuel pressure to compensate for the N20. Myself, and most people on this board using a dry kit, have had no problems with it. The key is if you want to spray a 100 shot or over, you need a better fuel pump or you will start to lean out. I use an 85 shot and it works perfectly. When you're spraying a dry kit, so long as the shot is reasonable, the setup is very simple. Not to mention you don't have to worry about fuel puddling in your intake and causing a backfire like you would with a wet kit.

          Not true, wet is actually better for more power and torque for the shot. Only thing with wet is it isn't quite as safe usually as dry. Chances for puddling with wet where as dry you don't. Dry just depends on your computer adding the extra fuel which if it doesn't you can go lean.

            oh i know that...I just meant that since the dry is safer to run most people would recommend it over wet.

              IMO A true dry kit is the best way to go, for safety and good power.

              A wet kit will puddle at a certain point.
              Direct port has similar risks, but not as bad, plus it costs a ton.

              A dry kit done truly right, would mean a computer tune so that when the nitrous is engaged, the cpu ups the fuel pressure and changes injector pulse widths to allow more fuel. With tuning, the sky is the limit on a dry kit for safety and affordability. Computers like AEM have this function built in. I would like to see someone use it.

              Sorry I went off topic, but dry kits are cool, I swear.

                    I am not a big fan of zex, I have put a zex kit on a honda, it was easy, but if something goes wrong, you have a bottle and a box.

                    You would have to take the box apart to get to anything, and god knows what is going on in there.

                    I am not even sure if you can use a window switch on it, or controller or anything else.

                        No to ZEX.

                        Direct port is the safest set up
                        Dry kit is runner up
                        Wet kit is last

                            I don't like ZEX.

                            I prefer NOS, NX and TNT

                              you guys who say you dont like zex, why not? i'm not advocating it, i'm just curious. do ya know how it really works or what is actually in that box? Nos and NX have some great kits, but to be honest, ive never heard of prople having problems with the ZEX kit, and i know quite a few people using them.
