Cool man... so the regulator hose is going to the fuel regulator? I didnt get that damn hose either LOL i am going to have to just buy some rubber hose at autozone and some small clamps and stuff like that to make my own hardware for the kit. I just got my intake today i think that i am going to run the intake nozzle through the top of the filter like the ZEX air filters are. to spray in the intake.

White wired from the box gets connected to the red wire with the black tracer on it. Red goes to a switch abd black is ground

Yes,just a arming switch.
You pick the right jets.
The tps swith does everything else for you.

As soon as I knew what tps wire to use .
The kit took me 30 minutes or so install from start to finish.
If you have a ten lbs bottle,you can expect to pay any where from 35-55 a bottle to be filled + tax.
^that's the only shitty part.

^agree. I pay around $112 for my two bottles. Reason why, the shop I went to before wouldn't fill it all they way and for some reason the nitrous wasn't as strong. The current shop I go to fills it to 11lbs and a stronger shot. Way better than the old shop.

yea i dont plan on running it that much i dont want to risk it just when i track it i am going to spray...

okay so red is the switch wire does it need a power source? white is TPS sensor wire and then black is ground

Intake= Plenum
Regulator= Fuel Regulator
Spray=Intake

Also what is the black button on the side of the box where the light is? Is that a reset button or soemthing like that?

Red on box goes to switch and then from switch goes to power source. Id hook it up to ignition.

Black on box goes to ground

White on boc goes to red wire with black tracer on the tps connector


Black button on the side is for programin the box to spray when u go WOT. I forget the procedure but its online. Its really simple too.



A good investment is to get a bottle warmer. Keep it bottle pressure between 950 and 1100 psi. That's the sweet spot. So when u start seeing around 900-800. Turn on the bottle warmer and let the pressure build. Or u can use a torch. I've done it in the past but not the safest. And it discolors the bottle a bit

i heard that as long as you are not running rich/lean that you will be fine and no tune is needed, a lot pf people told me that they ran 100-125 shot with no tune and ran fine and engine did fine.

I'm ruinning a 125 dry shot with no tune. Holding up fine but a tune will give more power. Id say if ur worried about ur engine, 75 shot dry all day with no tune. But going to a wet shot deff helps and u really don't need any tune if u got the right size jets (or pills).

Ran bot lines to a "T" fitting then from the "T" to the gauge, from the gauge to the box

u need a gauge, or if it misfires than somethings wrong. usually a bigger fuel jet/pill fixes the problem

If you have a gauge on your bottle their is no need for extra gauges/hose/wires. You leave extra spots for a leak. And the last place you want a leak is in the cabin of the car.
This is why ZEX will also tell you to run your hose from the trunk,to the engine bay under the car.
Unless your too lazy to go look at the bottle from now and then to check preasure and if you feel like doing extra work then use the dash gauge.

I got an extra gauge somewhere in my garage. Let me know if ur interested in it. Also u will smell sulfer when u have a leak. Than spray the fittings with soapy water, if it bubbles, u found u leak(s)

yea man can you send me some pics of the guage (nitrous?)? I have been reading on the air/fuel guage and it seems as its useless if your running at WOT the guage will read rich every time you run the throtle fully open. The wire that you have to hack in the ecu prevents you to get an accurate reading...

^thats only for narroband guages. which are totally useless. in order to get a proper air fuel ratio u need to run a WIDEband. it give you a number during WOT and regular driving. its not like a narrowband that bounces all around.

dont believe this BS youre reading about not needing guages. you NEED to monitor for knock and fuel. if not you will be playing on borrowed time

do you have to have a control module as well with the wideband or does it come with the guage as a kit...

I don't have an a/f gauge fs. I got a nitrous gauge for sale. But the wide band would have the gauge and an o2 sensor
