I've got a 97 RS with a couple BPMS (intake/exhaust/plugs/wires) and a basically complete suspension, and my goal is to be quite a bit faster, and since I don't have 4000ish to throw down on a turbo + install + basic supporting mods for safety etc, I'm choosing to go nitrous. Now, I know to get a wet kit, and I've seen NX wet for around $530 for the base kit, how much is Zex, and which is better from a safety standpoint? From a speed standpoint? I am not going to be replacing any internals, and I plan on running about a 50-60 shot. About the only mod I plan on doing is getting NGK plugs 1 step colder (how do the colder plugs affect driving off the bottle?). My car has 95k on it, and I'm relatively concerned about reliability, but I also want to be able to spank some other cars on the road more than what I'm spanking now (most notably I want to be able to hang with/beat my friends 2004 WRX, that rich bastard).

I don't want to save up for a turbo, as I plan on buying a new car in 2-3 years when I get out of college, and by the time I have 4000 saved up for the turbo, I'll be throwing that down as part of a down payment on something like an STI. Since I can do a whole nitrous setup for under $1000, it's much more viable for my needs/budget.

Def. go NX! i had it and was very happy. honda drivers use Zex, your not a honda driver are you

NX is better.

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

Sure it's faster, but is it as safe as zex?

Also, how is the NX kit engaged? I know zex is armed, and then it's activated at WOT.

I'm looking for the optimum in safety when using this. I plan on having an a-pillar pod cluster with an A/F gauge and an EGT guage just to keep things in check. Anything else I need to do to ensure safety (besides strengthening engine interals, which is obvious, but I already said I don't want to mess with my engine)

Nothing is safter than Zex. If you think so, then where is the NMU for the NX aye? Or would you rather just hit a button and cram nos into your engine? Go Zex (or if you have thousands to spend) Venom. I personaly use Zex, and anyone who thinks your not *fast* with it, I have mid 14s with using Zex. Its all down to driving. And whoever wuz the dude saying something about hondaz, people drive hondas cuz they poor, they go to autozone cuz they poor, they put APC stickers on there car...cuz..They poor! Anyone who is serious about racing gets nitrious. If they are smart they get Zex. The people in F&F used the NOS brand, and that shit is made by FORD! Nothin is safter than Zex, and I can back that up with many logical statments, whats safe about Nx? Not a damn thing. Its set up to where you push a button and the nos flows... If saftey is your number 1 priority, as it should be, then get Zex.

I'll bet he never says THAT again (NOS owned by Ford)}(

one can hope.

I see both sides of this debate. There's a lot to be said for the safety features built into a Zex, but I don't see it as an argument against the NX. Follow the instructions and set it up as they say, school yourself on the do's and don'ts of nitrous (which you should do ANYWAY, lol) and NX can deliver lots of nitrous fun. We've used their equipment exclusively for years, and their four nozzle system (port injection) fits nicely under the intake manifold of a 420A DSM.

NOS "equals" FORD....the dumbest comment I think I have ever heard on this forum, think before you speak, and dont speak if you dont know what the hell your talking about.

Seriously, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, if he would've said that to me in person, I would've slapped him... backhanded, like "bitch, shut up" style. Zex kits suck ass, get NX or N.O.S. I understand that you're concerned about safety, but if you aren't smart enough to not push the button when you don't want to spray, then you shouldn't have nitrous in your car anyway. Furthermore, you can put a WOT switch (which will make it only spray when the accelerator is to the floor) on an NOS or NX kit as well.
