Some Zex™ customers get right to the point

A. Friedman:
Just a short note to thanks you for your great new wet nitrous kit. I installed it in about two hours and it's amazing performance enabled me to run a blistering 12.07 at 113.94 mph - the fastest 1/4 mile so far in a US spec EVO VIII.
The kit is a amazing - the stock supplied jets worked out with a perfect A/F ratio - unchanged from my pre- nitrous tune - and no change in EGT's - plugs looked great.
The 60 shot jets gave me a 113 ft lb increase in trq to 412 ft lbs at the wheels and 404 hp.

Hey I just installed my Zex kit on my 96 Civic D16Y7 with an automatic trans and it rocks. It was so easy to install. The first time I sprayed it was like a whole different car and the bottle pressure was only at 600psi(its cold in Chicago now) I can't wait till it gets warmer so the pressure gets to 900psi. I was going to go turbo on my Civic but I decided nitrous was cheaper which is better in my book and I am SO glad I got nitrous instead I get the same HP that I would with a turbo but for a 1/4 of what a turbo kit costs. Thanks for making a nitrous kit easy to install. All my friends were telling me I was crazy to put nitrous on my 77,000 mile old ride but they don't understand nitrous IS safe and your kit makes it foolproof you have to be a ------ ---- --- to get this wrong. Thanks!

"I had my Zex kit installed on my 94 GT Mustang 5.0 liter. I had it put in at a performance shop that does many nitrous installs using other nitrous kits. The guys at the shop were amazed at how easy the install was and how good the Zex kit was. I had my car dyno and tuned and the gains in hp were just as you stated. Well worth every penny i sepnt for the Zex kit. The shop that did my install is going to start telling it's customers to install your kit.
Thanks again for an excellent product, can't wait for spring to see what it runs at the track!"

"I just bought my zex kit from a shop called Revolution Motorsports in Altoona, Wi. I've heard many good things about the kit but have never experienced it. I went with the 65 shot and smoked my friends 99 Eclipse GS-t with many mods. AWESOME! He beat me w/o Zex by 5 car lengths then with the 65 shot I beat him by 2 car lengths. He was pissed. HAHA!! I'm loving my 90 Civic Hatchback SI with sohc v-tec + ZEX more and more, and whats really cool is n2o is only $4/lbs here in the frozen tundra. Now I can finally beat those pesky v-8's that surround me here in the dairy land of Wisconsin. I am the only import besides my friends Eclipse in like a 40 mile radius. A few more "ZEXey" parts like the blow down kit(so I can run it) and a bottle heater and... I could go on and on. Only 1 problem I had, I didn't know what TPS wire to hook it too. HA! figured it out quick though. I knocked easily 2 seconds off my e.t. with the 65shot.
Thanks, great product!!!!"

R. Eberhard says:
"I'm in love with the Zex system I installed on my '94 Honda Prelude. Its was easy to install and more fun to use. I am impressed with its ease of function as well. No buttons to push just arm it and GO. The kit has given my car a new edge and I look foward to sharing my future timeslips with you. Your customer support is top shelf and extremely knowledgeable.
Thanks for all the help and a great product."

"I have recently installed a Zex Nitrous Kit on my Civic Si and it works awesome.
I am running a turbo, intercooler, and exhaust with it and I am in the mid 11's, best was a 11.67 @ 114 mph. Let me tell you that this here is the best thing I could have bought...
Thanks a million guys, I love it!"

J. Terpay: (shortened)
"I did what you told me to do with the fuel tuning and the nitrous flow tuning for my GS-R and let me tell you, first I beat one of my best friends and his supercharged S2000 by at least 3mph at the track. Then I beat a 2000 Type R that was also running a Zex system and I beat a 2000 Mustang GT that was running a Zex system. I basically smoked all three with no problem. I'm still fine tuning the motor. So far the best the car went was a 13.46 seconds at 106 mph on "street tires" with veeerrry minimal traction. I spun in every gear through 4th and on a stock clutch and 31,000 miles on the clutch.
On slicks the car is estimated for a 12.80 after finely tuned. Problem is, can't afford the slicks(bummer). For now though, everyone around my area knows about my car and they also know that I have the ZEX kit. Three of my friends just bought the ZEX kit because of what they saw it did for my car. That makes me the happiest driver/ mechanic in the world. They are having me install and tune them in their cars.
Thank you again for your help. I'm now on my way to the 12's. If there are any other tricks for more horsepower that you know, please let me know.
I now have the fastest and most well known GS-R in my area.
P.S. I also beat a brand new C5 Corvette no problem!"

"... Just wanted to let you guys know how good your system is, definatley impressive!!
I have had it for about a year now, love it. My car is all show only but on the weekends I take it out for a spin and **** is it fun! I suprise a lot of people, they are like "well I guess he can back up the looks despite being an automatic.
1998 Civic CX, d16y7, 158hp at the wheels dyno'd, with 55 shot and other little mods i/h/e plus Zex plugs. Thanks!"

"... I just installed your Zex Nitrous Kit in my 2000 Eclipse V-6. The install was a breeze thanks to your supplying everything including those nice quick connect electric hook ups. Today it all came together when I blew away a Lexas SC400. Thanks Zex"

"I'm currently running the Zex kit on my 2k Integra Type R. Before, I was running intake and header and was pretty fast at the track on drag radials, 14.24 at 96 mph. After I installed the kit, OH MY GOD!!!!! My first pass was a 13.43 at 100 mph and then I came back and ran again and hit a 12.95 at 107 mph and backed it up with a 12.97 at 106.
All I can say is that the kit is awesome and worth every penny. The tech guys were great, they recommended me buying a fuel pump for my car since it was the weak point (only weak point in a R). I installed it and it and the ZEX kit run flawlessly. Thanks to all who have helped and watch out."

R. Davis: (shortened)
"Thanks a lot not only for the technical help, but the excellent customer service. .... I appreciate you patiently attempting to teach me what I was doing instead of telling me to hook this there and that here then rushing off the phone. I had one bad experience today just before I called you while trying to get information about a body kit. The guy was impatient and quite rude, but maybe he was having a bad day. Anyway, I'll let you know what happens at the track when I get a few more gauges installed and the bottle refilled. Thanks a bunch!"

All I can say after my second run was d---! .... I would like to say that I am completely impressed by the system. I will tell you, it was funny being in a time bracket surrounded by cars with hundreds, even thousands of dollars put into their cars only to get smoked by some dude with nitrous on a vtec Civic!!!! ...
I told them they should get a ZEX kit just to keep up with me!!! HA HA, 2 seconds for 500 bucks kicks my a--!!!"

FAQ:

Will the ZEX N2O kit work on my car?
Our nitrous kit is very universal by design. It works on most late model, direct port fuel injection kits.
ZEX Nitrous Compatibility Checklist

Engine must have a vacuum ported fuel pressure regulator
Throttle position sensor voltage must pass the following test:
Locate the T.P.S. (usually directly across from throttle linkage)
Turn ignition to on position (do not start engine)
Using a digital voltmeter, check each wire for a low voltage reading of approximately 1 volt.
Only one wire should have this low voltage with the throttle closed
While on that same wire, open the throttle completely and check the voltage reading
If your voltage reads 4.2 volts or higher, you are ready to install your ZEX nitrous kit
How much time can I expect installation to take?

A person familiar with common hand tools should be able to complete the installation in three to four hours. If you can get out of bed by 8, it should be in before lunchtime.

Will your kit work on my car if it does not have a vacuum operated fuel pressure regulator?

No, our nitrous kit is not compatible in your application due to the absence of a vacuum ported fuel pressure regulator. The required fuel enrichment comes by way of this style of fuel pressure regulator.
My car has high mileage, is it safe to run nitrous on it?

High mileage is not necessarily an indicator of a car's mechanical condition. The better mechanical condition your car is in, the safer it is to use any high performance product. If you are not sure on the condition of your vehicle, take it to a qualified mechanic in your area for a complete inspection.
How much horsepower does the ZEX kit add?

The ZEX kit is adjustable in three horsepower increments. Jets are provided that will give anywhere from 55hp to 125hp, depending on which kit you purchase.
Do I need to upgrade my fuel kit to use your kit?

Our kit was designed and tested for use with stock fuel kits. It will perform properly on stock and mildly modified engines, i.e. header, K&N filter, exhaust, etc. If major modifications have been performed, i.e. camshafts, heads, porting work, intake manifolds, etc. It is strongly recommended that a fuel pump and injector upgrade be performed on your engine before using your ZEX nitrous kit.
Do I need to use different spark plugs when using the ZEX nitrous kit?

It is highly recommended that you install non-projected nose style spark plugs that are 2 heat ranges cooler than stock plugs. For best results, use our Hyperformance triple electrode spark plugs. These spark plugs were designed specifically for nitrous, turbo, and supercharged applications.
How long will one bottle of nitrous last?

This totally depends on which jetting is used. The 55hp shot will last around 3 minutes of continuous use. The 125hp shot will last just under 1.5 minutes of continuous use. Generally, since each race lasts less than fifteen seconds, many races can be run from a single bottle.
What makes your ZEX kit better than other brands?

Our kit is self regulating and adjusts fuel pressure according to bottle pressure.

It is TPS activated, which means no throttle switch brackets to rig up.

The control box houses the solenoid for a cleaner installation.

The convenience of support (english)

Finally, we are confident that our kit is the easiest on the market to install.

Et Pete viittis mitään pitempiä juttuja laittaa tänne, olis kyllä aikaa lukea! Muutenkin aika typerää hehkuttaa laittomia vehkeitä ja sanoa että näitä ei sitten saa käyttää kadulla. Amis, lippis ja lökäpöksypojat kyllä ostaa innolla ja tappaa jonkun sivullisen ohikulkijan tollasilla virityksillä. Taitaa olla sullakin nuppi pehmennyt helteellä!!

eivät ne ole laittomia, niitä saa käyttää kilpakäyttössä Suomessa mm kiihdytyskisoissa

sen sijaan tieliikennekäytössä Suomessa niitä ei saa käyttää

joissain muissa maissa niitä saa käyttää kadullakin mutta niissä maissa saa esim myös nostaa yli 20% turboauton tehoa jne ja vaihtaa vapaammin isompia (yli 25% iskutilavuutta) moottoreita jne mitkä kaikki ovat Suomessa tieliikenteessä kiellettyjä asoita

[OPOWER]

Ei onneksi olla joissain muissa maissa, vaan suomessa ja täällä täytyy toimia suomen lakien mukaan. Mielestäni kauppias toimii vastuuttomasti mainostaessaan(ja myydessään) kaikelle kansalle tarkoitetussa foorumissa ainoastaan kilpailukäytössä luvallisia laitteita katukäyttöön! Järki käteen!

Hyvä OPOWER, lukisitko viestimme uudelleen, sillä jotain on jäänyt ilmeisesti huomaamatta:

Missä kohtaa näitä suositellemme/tarjoamme katukäyttöön Suomessa?

Monesti olemme sen sijaan maininneet että Suomessa niitä ei saa käyttää tieliikenteessä

Sen sijaan kilvanajossa saa niitä käyttää jos luokan ja/tai kilpailun säännöt sen sallivat

Ulkomaillakin niiden pääasiallinen käyttöympäristö on kiihdytyskilpailuissa
(Import ja V-8 kiihdytysautot)
kuten varmaan ZEX:in testiautoista huomaat, niitä on arkerasti testattu radalla kelloja vastaan

Sellaista mikä olisi laitonta Suomessa ei saisi käyttää missään (esim huumeita)

Me myymme paljon osia kilpakäyttöön rata-, ralli- ja kiihdytysautoihin

Moni kilpa-autoonsa osia ostava on OCF:n jäsen

Tarkoitat varmaan valitettavasti suomessa (lakiasetukset pyllystä), eikä mitään vastuutonta Peten touhussa ole. Kaasuista on varoiteltu ihan riittävästi, laittomuus katukäytössä ilmoitettu, eikä varmaankaan lippispäät ihan heti näitä osta, kun karvanoppia ja putkenpäitäkin on tarjolla, ja niitä ne osaavat itsekin asentaa....
