Hi guys,

I’d like to share my ZEX Nitrous installation experience with the370z forum. Audio Dynamix of Battle Creek, MI performed my ZEX Nitrous installation. Why did I go with them? Simple. They are by far the best performance in my area and I have personally known the owner for half my life. I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to get half the pictures I did without knowing him because I was pretty much nosing in the whole time.

Here’s what was installed:
Zex Nitrous Management unit
10lb Bottle
50HP shot (75HP shot available after I do some more monitoring)
Remote Bottle Opener
Purge
Bottle Warmer with built in sensor - Not installed yet because of Zdayz
Safty Blow-down

Here’s what I need:
Nitrous Gauge
AFR Gauge – I’m figuring out all the gauges I want for the future and where I want them installed. I’m torn on getting the A pillar that GaleForce has or replacing the three center Gauges.

Here’s what I currently have on my car with the nitrous:
Front and Rear White Line Sways
Front SPL End Links
Rear Energy End Links
White Line rear bushings
Two piece Z1 front rotors
DBA rear rotors
Motul Brake Motul RBF600
Fast Intentions resonated test pipes
Fast Intentions Testback exaust. (see what I did there. )
Fast Intentions 34 row oil cooler w/ thermostat
Z1 Urethane Motor Mounts
** Car does not have a tune **

I have currently ran through one 10lb bottle and I am really happy with the results. The car is noticeable faster when spraying but it’s nothing crazy, it’s only 50hp. The note of the engine changes to a higher pitch when spraying. The nitrous will only spray when I have the system activated and WOT. I believe a button can be installed so that you can spray anytime but I really don’t want that because the only time I want to use it is at WOT.

I recently was able to get to the drag strip and made passes without nitrous. I made two passes and my best time was 13.38. I will head back out to the drag strip and get 2 passes of 50shots and 2 passes of 75shots so that you can see concrete results.

If anyone has questions I would be happy to answer them the best I can. I have one request from potential posters. Please do not post if you are negative about nitrous UNLESS you can back up as to why. No one will find that helpful.
