what to go with...
Here soon I'm goin to have all new internal put into my 1.5 as I found some good deals. The ? I have is after doin so I'm goin to probably invest in a little NOS and was wondering what everyone might recommend for that. I was thinking just 50-75.
any feedback and info would be great. thanks for looking.;) :yes: |
Well what internals are you referring to?
If its a decent build a direct port 80 shot would be a beautiful thing. The nice part about a direct port system is that there is basically no limit on you shot. It does require more work to install though. For the basic daily driver, you could go 75 shot on stock internals. Just run a colder plug & retard your timing. Let me know what you're getting so I can suggest a setup. |
well I'm not set on the internals as far as which brnad that I'll be getting but I'm goin to replace the cam,rods,pistons.valve springs and retainers etc. I've got a cam gear but have had it sitting til I get a cam as I know I won;t get to much output from it w/out it...
hope this might be some additional info..;) |
Well since the ignition will stil remain stock, a dry 75 shot would do nicely. That could be run on a daily driver with no issues. Just make sure your break everything in prior.
I like the ZEX kits for ease of install and price. www.evanshondaspecialist.com NOS also makes a nice dry kit though. Either kit will give you good results. |
Civic_addict I will also upgrade the ignition as well but there I also have a delima of which ignition system to go with. you have Crane and MSD etc so I'm still pondering which to use..
sorry I left that aspect out...;) |

If this is your daily driver then you might want to stay with the dry system. Simply because its going to give a pretty good kick and you won't need to make any modifications to the intake manifold(direct port). I was fairly happy with a 55 shot I had on EX. But knowing I could go up to 75 shot was nice. Is your car an auto or a stick? |
I have a manual....but as most peopel know the 4drs have autos.
that's one thing I made sure I got was a stick..no Auto here... ;) |
Avoid Zex.. Their ratings are bogus.
With your 1.5, I doubt 75 is still safe.. You should verify that. MSD or Jacob for the ignition.. |

Bogus? Have you tried the ZEX kit? ZEX is safe. Provided all your new internals are broke in, you'll not have any issues. Their NMU(nitrous management unit) uses the bottle pressure to regulate the n2o flow which aids in the safety. I ran 55 & 75 shot on stock internals & ignition with no issues. Once you move higher than 55, you'll need to retard you timing accordingly. I will agree with Accord Man on the ignition systems though. |
The Zex kits are rated in a different way.. Not sure how..
But, the HP yielding are less.. For equivalent systems. |
Quote:
ZEX is rated at the crank, like NOS. The NX kits are rated at the wheels which makes them a bit farther from the truth on their ratings(also a bit more unsafe). |
You're right on that.
But there was something about the ZEX kit that threw it to the back.. Power wise.. Yes even NOS. I'm trying to figure out/remember what it was.. For safety and ease of installation, the ZEX is the most *commercial* kit. But if yout want the most juice possible, I think their is better. |

Regardless. He's only going to be able to hit 80 shot peak(Venom VCN kit) with a dry kit. Anything higher is not safe at all. Quote:
Who? NOS? They've been doing it longer than anyone. They do make good equipment, but their dry kit is no more powerful than the ZEX kit. Now their direct port kit is an awesome kit hands down. You can't beat that flexibility... |
Does anyone here run NOS and a turbo. I am about to buy this slightly used Rev Hard stage 2 turbo and i was looking to see what N2O kit and what shot i should run. All i am wanting to do is eliminate lag.

I'm new to Zex systems. How's that work? Max |

To sum it up, it takes the current nitrous line pressure and determines how much fuel to add. As your bottle becomes empty, the pressure drops and less n2o flows. By reducing/increasing the fuel flow accordingly, it helps reduce the risk of a rich condition or a lean condition. |
