nitrous on stock inj

for my zex nitrous kit i am having a problem finding a place to put my gas line into my trottle body, so i was wondering how much could my stock 305tpi injectors take if i just shoot it as a dry shot through the maf with my afpr? or if someone could help me find a place to hook up the gas line

Re: nitrous on stock inj

I dunno if your zex kit came with a threded gromet for your air inlet tubse if not you need to visit nitrous express they have somthing that will help you install the nozzel.into the inlet tube now if your talking about your line to the gas soliniod if there is a place on the rail to check fuel.pressure pull the valve core out of that and connect it there ?

Re: nitrous on stock inj

Its a dry kit?

Just drill a hole anywhere in the intake tube, about 6" or farther away from the throttle body.

I have the pvc pipe too, and put it at the first bend away from the TB.

WHen i had my 305 tpi, i ran a 165 shot, but it didnt last long after that.

mine is a maf so if i just put it in the inlet hose my cars computer wont add the fuel and will blow the motor inless ur talking about the fuel, drill into the intake and just hook the fuel hose to the intake hose cause it said from the nitrous book u put the nitrous injector that far from the throttle body then the fuel line hook on the throttle but i dont have any unused hose connectors on the throttle body.

Re: nitrous on stock inj

i have heard zex is safest cause they add the fuel for you so your computer wont make an error but i just dont know how to hook the fuel lines up on my tpi.

Re: nitrous on stock inj

I've never trusted spraying N2O at a MAF to get fuel enrichment (that setup first turned up when the 4th gen cars were getting more common, the whole setup could be carried in a duffel bag and we used to call it "the death bag of nitrous"), and I'm not sure that the 3rd gen setup will react quick enough or with enough fuel for it to work.

As far as how to mount it, I've done a couple mounted in the maf after the coils (gives you a nice hard/rigid material to drill and tap), but like the others, I'm not a fan of the zex stuff, I've mostly used NX (though I have a bunch of NOS parts/solenoids sitting here on the kbd...)

Re: nitrous on stock inj

THe NX kits are wet kits.so you get a spray of fuel and nitrous from one nozzel that you can mount after the MAF like the above said plus I kno NX has a wot micro switch that will.pretty much be as safe as you can get I hooked my NX kit up on a neon I had in about thirty min

Re: nitrous on stock inj

If you're simply looking for a place to get fuel for a wet kit look on the back passenger side fuel rail. There is a fitting there(looks like a valve stem). Remove teh cap and tehn get a valve stem removal tool and you will have an open fuel line there. Use that for the fuel line of your nitrous.

ok thank you then once i have the fuel to the zex computer where do i plug it into the intake? it says in the zex manual to hook it on to an empty connector from your tb but i dont really have one so is there possibly one that hidden or that i can take off for it or could i just some how connect the tube right before the tb and it could still work?

Sounds like you don't have a TPI then. ALL TPI systems have two rails, least last I checked.

Re: nitrous on stock inj

what im trying to say is on the tb the hoses that come off those for air lines for breathers and what not it needs an empty one of those to put the fuel into so im not sure if i can just connect it before the tb or if there is something that i can remove that takes up a space or if there is a hidden one thats not taken up that im not seein
