he didnt post any pics he just said stainless steal braded lines, 3x1.25 lb bottles, purge, solenoid, zex kit 200 shipped. I jumped on the deal and got it. Also is there a part number to the kind of zex spark plugs I should be running? I got brand new NGK V Power plugs in there now. I am just hoping my car didnt throw a rod. Then hello B16, or b18b.

earlyer you posted not a good idea to put them in the glove box. Is that because the lines will be cramped? For the pressure? I didnt even get the kit yet. I am just trying to figure out where to put it

just to come right out and say it..im not sure you got a good deal.. in fact im concerned about the "kit" you got.. a 1 lb bottle at best would be good for like a street bike.. or watercraft.. but i dont think is big enough for a car...

You should get a 10lb. bottle (for obvious reasons) and mount it in the trunk of your car like everyone else does. That way if there is a break in the line your cab won't fill up with nitrous and cause you to have an accident and die.

Sounds like Vin Diesels set up in F&TF. Except this is real life and I don't think that 3 1.25 lb bottles are going to be that safe. Or work as well. B/c you're going to have to chain link them all together and as OC said the pressure is going to be off and it's not going to give you a good shot.

... the zex kit has and will always be kind of shaky to me. i dont like "mystery boxes" that control s**t.. you should post pics of it when you get it because as far as i know zex does not make a kit with 3 small bottles..
heheheh....mystery box.:lol:

On a dry kit it just partially closes off the fuel supply to ramp up the fuel pressure.
No, it doesn't make sense to me either...seems like you would ramp up pressure at the expense of fuel volume. :what: but it works. My old NOS kit had a similar arrangement....and a crappy solenoid. But that's a different story. :lol:

I've never actually had a Zex kit. Just the ever craptastic NOS dry. (in all fairness, my NOS kit was old and used so that probably contributed to it's continously screwed up solenoid)

I'd probably go Venom this time....even though it has the dreaded "mystery box" that actually does something. :lol:
