Got my zex kit today, need to know Options

[bonzaisushi]

so ya i got my zex kit today. im thinkin im going to throw some copper plugs in instead of my NGK iridiums. since i believe copper is colder. i have a 2.5" exhaust and a intake, so hopefully that will reduce the stress put on the motor, i figure ill use it in 3rd gear... i dunno i know people think pretty negatively about nitrous on here. i guess im gunna find out how the motor holds up she has 105k on her, im gunna run a compression test before hand just to make sure. ive been leaking oil but im not sure from were yet. hopfully i can get that taken care of... and if the motor goes.... when mabye i can do a 3sgte swap.... we will find out.... anything else i need to know? advice? ill get some video.

oh nooooo

coper plugs wont be better. you have to go down one step in heat range. check ngk.com . i think they have a list of all the heat ranges you can buy. is this a wet kit or a dry kit? at least you are fully away of the dangers, so good luck with it and make some nice vids will its still running.

while its running... lol dont scare me.... its dry. im not stock so im not too worried but still

i dont really want to scare u, but a dry kit = bye bye motor. youll get a few joy rides out of it tho !

[celicast3sgte]

50-75 would be a better choice probably the 50 tho. also replace ur fuel filter and get a regulator and check up on your fuel pump to help out with lean conditions.

bigger injectors would help more i would think

[bonzaisushi]

mabye ill sell it... thanks for scarin me. i got it for 200 new.... so i cant complain either way.

[lagos]

the motor will not last long..its not anyone is trying to scare you ...its just that a dry kit injects only air into the motor causing it to run lean. also every jdm ecu freaks out when its gets a 50hp out of nowhere.

those kits are only sort of safe for old skool v8s with no ecu to worry about. just turn a screw on the carb and you got all the fuel you need...lol.

there is a pretty cool thread about nitrous over at celicatech right now. read everything, especially what nuke posted

ya i read threads on it all day.... well i might just sell it.... im gettin bored with the celica, i dont have a celica buddy around here to work on my car with.... im lonely.... and my celica is.... slow.

a 50 shot of nitrious with all the fixings can be run all day long everyday on a 5s.

in order to be safe, run a wet kit, get a wideband o2 sensor to monitor EGT, and A/F, also get a window switch, and a wot switch.

do these precautions and you should have no troubles at all.

if your interested in selling it for 200 and its a wet kit ill take it and put it on the 7th gen.

[bonzaisushi]

no its a dry.

[K-ESD]

correct me if i'm wrong but can't you just add a fuel solenoid + nozzles, etc.. to the system and turn it into a wet kit?

[bonzaisushi]

just installed it... i have a 35 jet sooo mabye i will use that im not sure

[lagos]

make some cool vids while its running..lol

[bonzaisushi]

i hate you lagos....haha

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Just don't go overboard with it and you should be fine. I'm with lagos, get some videos and post them up.

[bonzaisushi]

im thinkin of waitin till i purchase my clip before i start sprayin... i orderd a 35 nozzle..... and im lookin for a fuel pump to throw in there to compensate.... i will get vids of the damage

[94ST2]

It would be a good idea to start out with the lower shot and see how your motor reacts to that and when you should spray. Then when your are more confident in that everything is set up right you could switch to the 50 shot nozzel. Just my 2 cents.

[celicast3sgte]

once you get your clip throw a 100 shot on there rip down the street a couple times and see how far you can push it get vids of the whole things and pics when the motor comes apart.

You guys need to stop spreading mis-information.

NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER use a wet kit on an EFI car. Why? A wet kit injects fuel and N20 into the intake. Now, EFI cars, that is all not carbed, have intake manifolds that are SPECIALLY BUILT to flow ONLY air, not fuel. The flow dynamics of fuel is MUCH different than air. Using a wet kit on an EFI car WILL result in rich mixtures in some cylinders and lean conditions in others. (Carbed cars have specifically built intake manifolds that flow air and fuel evenly, so a wet kit is the right choice with these cars).

With an EFI car you have the option of a dry kit, or port injection.

NOTE: A DRY KIT DOES NOT LEAN OUT YOUR CAR!!! A dry kit increases fuel relative to the N20 injection by increasing fuel pressure. This is the #1 best way to make sure that you don't lean out in certain cylinders. The is the ideal kit to use on an EFI car. Make sure that everything is hooked up right and make sure your fuel pump is up to the job. Get yourself the proper switches, arming, RPM window switch, low pressure switch, wide open throttle switch, etc. Run plugs two heat ranges colder, copper are the best choice. Never use iridium, and platium is a waste of money.

Also you can set up some piggybacks and most standalone ECUs to control and compensate for N20, which is wonderful, especially when you have a wideband to tune it with.

The ultimate system is the port injection type which is very expensive, this injects N20 and fuel right at each port, so you don't have to worry about leaning out in different cylinders and you get the best distribution possible.
