Default ZEX TPS Resistor Wire question

Hi,

ZEX recently put out a kit specifically for 350z, part # 82220, one of the changes they made is they added what they call TPS Resistor Wire.

The old 350Z was the part # 82021, this kit did not include the TPS Resistor Wire.

One of the reasons they added this 'resistor wire' was that on some 350z's they noticed that the check engine light would come on.

What they did was just hard-wire in a resistor to help isolate their control unit from the ecu.

does anyone know what the value of that resistor is???

Which kit do you have or want?
I have the 82021 and it works great with no check engine light issues.

why would zex = boom?

i dont see how its any worse/better than any other n20 kit. i think most engine damage problems stem from an improper install or an overzealous driver spraying every chance he gets with no safety electronics to help protect the engine.

I’m almost done with my Zex install and they failed to put the tps wire resistor with my kit.
Does any one have an image of one?

Turns out I did not need the tps resistor. I taped into the green wire and programed the tb
and no cel.

Question: has any body changed out their stock TB for the NWP TB and running nitrous?
If so does it program the same way?
