somebody talk to me about a zex dry kit
OK I just got a zex dry shot (was told 75 shot) for free, I have never fucked with nitrous or wanted it so I've never read up on it. Should I spray my type r swap in my hatch for now since it was free? What else should I do to this bitch, plugs, retard timing, bigger fuel pump? It will be a bit before this thing gets built/boost so I thought this might be fun for now :1

Retard ignition 3 degrees, as well.
Spray your first couple of times on a full bottle that you heated up (in a bathtub, hehe) until the safety valve pops to let you know the pressure is at the highest it'll ever be and the car will run the leanest it will ever run. After you spray, check your plugs to make sure the engine likes it. This way there is no chance of you thinking the setup is fine and then getting a higher bottle pressure that leans you into the danger zone.
Seriously, though? Most of those kits are jetted for safety and you'll run super rich. Unless an idiot has fiddled the jets she'll work sweet out of the box on a 75 shot.

I was hoping you'd show up JD.
this part you lost me on though with it being a dry kit or am I missing something.

Oops, sorry.
You get pressure applied to the FPR with a dry kit, so the fuel pump spikes in pressure and provides extra fuel. Less reliable, but it being a smaller shot you're probably fine.

fpr adjustable raise the pressure up
the zex 75 shot actually runs pretty lean at stock fuel pressure. Melted a couple spark plugs . Moved up to 60 psi on stock ecu and the car took it like a 19 year old coke -----

that and the adjustable fpr. The high fuel pressure before the nitrous is money never failed . Also ran wet kits that way has well. Just run it rich black smoke is your friend

colder plugs with nitrous is mando
stock heat range melt. 3 degrees retarded isnt much and will not make a car run that bad especially when your getting 65+whp to the ground
