zex nitrous kit

hey, im seriously looking at a zex wet kit for 4/6 cylinder cars. how hard is it to do a wet kit on our cars/where do i hook it up to the fuel? i would probably do a 75hp shot. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...part=CCA-82021

So i know i would have to do a fuel pressure regulator, but would i need to get a tune. its a wet kit so the fuel mixes with the nitrous. and does anyone have pics of the kit/instaling a wet zex nitrous kit on our cars.
thanks

lmao, ok ok.
i have the dry kit shooting 100shot, on a rough tune.
the price for the kit is great. with this its you either know what your doing or dont do it at all. if u do the slightest thing wrong start looking for a new engine. your trans will go out really fast too (shooting nitrous is addictive, so much power when ever you want it ).
your gonna need a tune bc u messed with the fuel, that means u need something to tune your car with. as to where to tap into the fuel, no idea, thats why i went the dry way and got a tune, just as safe as a wet shot but a bit less powerful (aprox. 5-10whp).

what kind of tuner did you use? an if i do the wet kit i wont need a tune, because the zex kit watches the fuel/air mixture right? the wet is only like $50 more and im looking at used ones

my dry kit also waches the fuel pressure and if it senses something wrong it will cut down on the shot. its always good to get it tuned, you will get a couple whp/wtq out of it.

im using a simple apexi neo

You still want a tune to maximize every thing.

they dont give any fuel line, but im pretty sure they just give an adapter that screws onto the zex box inlet for fuel and an the other end of the fitting, has the barb for the fuel line

take a pic of the system. u have a line going from teh bottle to a solenoid and a fuel line from a fuel source to solenoid. those have jets (pills) and they go into one adapter that u put in the intake

when hooking up the fuel side dont forget to purge the system. i reason i went with a dry kit is bc u can hook it up in 2hours or less and its just simpler.

your gonna need a device to tune the car. u dont want it running lean when spraying. a simple apexi neo works. and performance shop that has a good rep to sell nitrous, some shops like u rip ppl off and give them more air and some nitrous.

a few clips, zip ties, drills, just some minor stuff, and your going to need someone to install it for u and make sure that they know what their doing or they can fuck up your engine.

the wet injects nitrous and fuel at the same time so its giving the fuel needed for the extra boost, not running off the existing fuel system
