the wet kit is part #82021 from zex.

that one has a mini ecu also that helps keep it within a safe fuel range.

I have the Zex dry kit. I wish I bought the Wet kit thought, its much safer if you are pushing over 75 shot. I ran my car with the 55, 65, and 75 shot that came with the kit. The results were the same for me. My problem was hooking up at the track, I needed some drag radials.

Great responses from you guys. I don't need to worry too much when it's all hooked up. I just need to worry about how the tires are going to grip the ground. ;)

soo.. any of the 3.2 vets wanna chime in on how difficult it would be to convert parts on the C-P j32 engine to the CL-S one?

NSXNEXT...one of the mega mods...put a CL-S intake manifold on his TL-P engine...I can't remember how difficult he said it was.

EDIT: I believe it was him. :tomato:

Yup it was me. I have a 99TL which made it much more difficult since the lower IM/fuel rails/fpr setup was different.

The 01-03 CLP/TLP should just require the upper IM. Simple bolt-on.

I couldn't imagine switching out anything else from a CL-S engine to a CL-P engine though. It would just be costly and I wouldn't have a car for a while.

More power costs $$$

And you could swap out the upper IM in about 30 minutes.

Now trying to find one used is going to be a pain in the butt. I don't want one brand new.

If your doing FI Next year why are you going to waste money on nitrous? Save that money for a methanol injection kit and a e-manage. Just my two cents, Because i had nitrous then i got the blower not the nitrous is just for the wow factor! Don't wast your money.

withoutcomp1 10-06-2006 08:34 PM

Question, Do you have headers?

BigLizard 10-06-2006 09:27 PM

yes...SS to be exact. :D

EDIT: So why not be FI and have nitrous? :tongue:

withoutcomp1 10-07-2006 09:15 AM

That would be great if you don't want your motor anymore, Then you can get a type s motor.

BigLizard 10-07-2006 02:37 PM

So your saying I'd probably have to do some extensive internal work so the "pee" engine could handle nitrous and FI?

ghost_masterCL 10-08-2006 02:27 PM

I disagree, as long as you aren't running hte high boost pulley when yhou spray you should eb fine with a 50 shot or so.

BigLizard 10-08-2006 05:52 PM

I won't be running the high boost pulley.

Looks like there is some light at the end of the tunnel after all.

withoutcomp1 10-08-2006 09:48 PM

It's your car you can do what you want, i am just saying i wouldn't take the chance.

ghost_masterCL 10-08-2006 09:55 PM

doesn't teh CLP have a lower compression ratio too though. that should make it a bit safer.

:yes: 9.8 vs 10.5 for the Type-S

So, as long as I'm using juice safely while being supercharged. Then I should be OK. I'll be doing a lot of testing next year with being FI and juiced. :D

ghost_masterCL 10-08-2006 10:52 PM

yeah, you should be fine as long as it's TUNED properly. Thats the main reason engines blow from boosting, is because of unsafe tunes.

BigLizard 10-08-2006 10:57 PM

Thanks brotha! :thumbsup: :)

I mean with automatic transmission. I should have specified.


unless someone has a better slip than 13.25@105.7

BigLizard 10-12-2006 05:17 PM

how bout a video?

mattg 10-12-2006 05:18 PM

I don't think I have any nitrous videos. I posted a couple n/a vids in the got vids thread.

Ahh. I was gonna say ThinJim would walk all over any CL that has existed on this site. But there haven't been many really quick auto CLs.

I think sgmotoring may have had a faster auto CL-S, but since I don't think he ever took it to the track, we probably won't know. Also wasn't mrsteve pretty close to your times?

that's what I backed up the 13.25 with. and yes that's a 2.0 on 18" street tires. ^ :toocool:

absolutely. and he has spent a small fortune to do so. I wish he would get to the track so we could see some numbers.

I don't think sg ever came close to my times. not that he didn't have the right hardware, something just wasn't right.

mrsteve was really close and beat my trap by a couple mph, bigguy has also come very close along w/ TypeR.

I want someone to flat out beat it.

mattg 10-12-2006 09:59 PM

I think you can for sure. with a blower + a little shot of nitrous you should be able to run high 12's.

that was my plan but I had problems at the track with the 100 shot. the vacuum hose from the zex box to the FPR kept blowing off, so I clamped it down and it exploded. :what:

look at the power gains i made on the dyno from a 75 to a "100" shot. I think that would have been good for high 12's @ 110
