looking at a ZEX wet kit for my '03 lx
 

hey guys

how hard of a install is the ZEX wet kit?

you cannot change the timing in my car, something about individual coils, but i'll put in 2 heat rabges cooler plugs and check them after a few pulls. anything else?

Read Mobsta's thread about Nitrous.

Its not too hard, from what I hear, and i've read the manual and it doesn't seem too bad. You sure we can't change timing in our 7th gens..? I know a guy whos running I/H/E, and a 75 wet shot and does 14.3 in the 1/4 mile. I THINK you can, but i'm not totally sure myself. And, I think you'd only need to run 1 step colder for a 55 shot, and a 2 steps for 75. When Mobsta did a run on his 55 shot, and checked his plugs, they were too cold, and they were only 2 steps colder.

I think you need a program like hondata to adjust timing on a 7th gen. There is another member on this forum with a 7th gen running nitrous with no timing retard on a 75 shot, but he doesn't read his plugs so neither he nor I know if it is actually causing detonation or not, but I suspect it is. You could run a 50 shot with no timing retard, 1 step colder plugs, 91+ octane and you might be okay. You can try that, do a run and read the plugs.

You know its not detonating if:
1. There isn't any "pepper" on the porcelain
2. No metallic flakes on the metal parts of the plug
3. Ground strap and center electrode are not being rounded off/melted/ or damaged in any other way.

People also always forget or just don't know how to read plugs: You have to shut the car off immediately after the nitrous pull, without letting it idle. Also you need to use a magnifying glass to look at the spark plug.

thanks for the info guys. pretty sure i'm going to order myself that kit in the next little while.

Post some pictures when you get it, I love looking at nitrous setups.

^ Fixed.

Good luck with the setup, and show those D17 haters what we can do ;).

The rear of your car looks like a ford focus.

That is all.

ROFL. i never noticed that until now. lol

hey his car has a nice rear!!!

"does this ZEX bottle make my ass look fat"

LMAO

I just want to say that you can change the timing in a d17. You have to use some sort of engine management to do it, but you can. AEM F/IC does a pretty good job with turbo, I have no clue about nitrous though.
