Default Zex Kit installed with Purge and remote opener!

Hey Gang, been awhile!

Stealth as can be. Custom solid steel painted brackets suspend the bottle in the air behind my subs. Last thing I need to do is blue Neon street glow and fiberglass trunk cover to show off the bottle, guage and audio amps.

Looking at the engine *no one* here could ever find any signs of Nitrous. I would bet money on it.

I have the 65HP Jets for now, switches are in stock type locations (3 total) one is where VDC should be (don't have it, next to my traction control) and purge is underneath it.

My PC is down, this is my wife's PC (I built it so I have taken over it J/K) I have been really busy at work. I have Sun Mon off so pics will follow. I will reveal my secret loaction (should I are dealers following our board?) Or should I email pics lol, paranoi setting in.
I will switch to 75HP jets (maybe it screams like a scalded dog at WOT.) No GT V8's will drag me anymore (friends who know about the kit, not just casual drive byers)

What else,

Oh

March 5th Wednesday is Sport Compact Import Night in Lane 7. I plan on doing N/A and juice runs and posting time slips. They are giving out free T-Shirts, Northen Cali people please come! I have 3700 miles now, gonna redyno at 5000 miles. Next mod is UR Ultra SS Pulley's in April. Ltly will be CPU (uknown brand as yet)

Well that's about it for my world. Will have pics up Monday 9I'm off and wife will be at work.)

Thanks for letting me be long winded, off to work at 2300 (1100pm PST) Got atacked last night and messed up my right knee, had to body slam a 6' tall drunk on crack, I'm getting too old for this crap. Maced him, he is in jail now. One less as*hol* on the street I figure. Vandalism, Assualt and Battery and Trespassing. That's good for about 8 hours jail time here in Sac

Thumbs up Pics of N20 Kit now up!! Links inside!

Click here for pics

Scroll down to the bottle pic then follow them all, the last pic is on the next page after the last pic.

Let me know what you think!

Where do I work? SHRA sites right now (Sac Housing County )
I have a contract with them for 2 years. Oak Park and G Parkway.

Anyone familiar with the bad areas of Sacto will know how bad these areas are.

Slips will be up March 6th barring rain.

Very nice. I'm in the process of installing a Zex kit myself and have a couple of questions: 1) what color is the voltage output wire on the TPS? and 2) where did you tap the fuel line?

Thanks.

Love the way the lines are hidden in the brake fluid compartment. Someone would have to look very hard at the intake to spot anything.

Look forward to the time slips.

Default Thanks all

The voltage wire is white. You can see it accross the top.

Not sure about the fuel line, would have to ask Oscar at Hot Rod Imports in Elk Grove , CA.

MaxHax, thanks.

Do you have a phone number for Hot Rod Imports? I'd like to contact them. Also, concerning the white wire you are referring to: are you talking about the wire color from the Zex unit or the color of the wire that it actually connects to on the TPS?

Thanks.

Default Plugs

Yes, my plugs are 2 degrees colder and have much more spark,
I don't know if it's the combination of more air in, more exhaust out and better spark or just the car learning and breaking in but my gas mpg has improved by like 50 miles per tank using the same driving habits!

I'm getting way over 300 miles a tank now!

Oh,

Please tell them Max with the blue Z sent ya, cuz they hooked me up. Thanks! They have done 2 Z's so they will be able to answer all your ?'s

Zex also has great support too but they are not too familar with Z's yet. I'm sure the Q35 wiring is the same though.

Default P.S.

If you get a CES light it's due to voltage and don't be alarmed it goes out after a few starts, mine did. They checked the code too to be sure.

You can change your plugs at any time, stock are NGK's which are supposed to be pretty good. How many miles are on your car?
What all have you done to it?

Mine run two degrees colder I wouldn't reccomend these particular plugs for an N/A.

They are Zex High Performance Plugs and run like 7 bucks each!

I would reccomend Denso. They definately make a difference over stock though.

About the exact same miles as me. With an M6 you should be getting better mileage even with occasional romps. For me it was the plugs and a combination of everything else that improved my MPG but I will say that I didn't notice any increase in MPG till I did the plugs.

YMMV
