NAAWWZZ for the 8th gen

[NAWWZZgalant]

I just got my silver 99 Galant and I want some cheap mods to make my ride really fast. I want to get the zex kit of the NOS kit. Price is not an option. is there anyithing that I have to do to the car so the NOS will work??

[VegasMatt]

NO, not for the Zex kit. But if you want to enhance the speed of your galant and really want to get additional HP out of the engine, I would suggest at least getting an intake and exhaust for starters.


Welcome to TGC. I hope you find all the info you need on this site.

why not the zex kit......is there something wrong with it....does the NOS kit add more power......i want to know what kit can add the most power......

[BBGalant]

NOS = BAD

[NAWWZZgalant]

but NAWWZZ will make any engine faster(hint hint)

[cdaw2001ES]

I belive Vegas Mat was saying ... there is nothing special you need to do to add the ZEX kit.

NOS when used with some intelligence is not bad at all

[NAWWZZgalant]

define intelligently.....what do i need

[VegasMatt]

What it means is that n20 will work with your car as long as you dont abuse it. You can run n20 all you want as long as it is done within reason. Dont be pushing the red switch at every light right off the line. If the car feels funny or sounds funny, back off the gas, dont punch it harder!

I have the ZEX kit squeezing a 100 shot. I check the plugs regularly and keep the fuel filter changed and make sure the injectors are working and not clogged. I would suggest starting with the ZEX 50 shot to get a feel for it and work your way up to a higher shot.

If youre engine is not up to par, when you use the n20, you will have a bad and costly experience. You may want to remember that our transmissions are not the best in the world and over abuse can lead to failure of that component as well.

I havent heard anyone have a good experience pushing the NOS kit, seems our cars perform better with the ZEX system.

Good Luck!

how does the kit work???...do it just push the button to get the boost.....

[VegasMatt]

ZEX Kit works like this.

Once you install everything by a shop, you will have a red switch at your disposal.

Open the bottle, flip the safety red switch up. When you have the galant floored the zex computer is ready for the nitrous. Now flip up the switch and that releases the nitrous out of the bottle and into the engine.

At this time you should have smoked your competition, flip the red switch down which shuts the nitrous off, lay off the gas, now reach for your hazards, turn them on with pride (since you won) and close the bottle.

[NAWWZZgalant]

how does the kit know when you hit the gas.......

[VegasMatt]

There is a wire that connect to the throttle. When the throttle is open all the way it sends a signal to the computer to start delivering the nitrous.

[NAWWZZgalant]

i see......so you have to arm the kit the just floor it.......sounds kinda dangerous....how does it tap into the throttle.......i plan on installing the kit myself....is it hard?

[silvex]

i thought you have to turn ON the hazard lights before starting a race...
to let the other dude know... heh

Back again..lol... If u have details questions about ZEX feel free to go ahead and ask me.. my original name was Shane and the only G ride spraying 150-175 shot, so i can help if u have a question...

Welcome Back Shane. We wondered what happened to you, man. We were just talking recently about who had the fastest G, and your name came up. How's the car? Still smokin in the 1/4? Good to see you back on the board!

Let me tell u it feel good to be back among the best.. my car thats another story, she's a "total loss".. About a couple months back i blew the motor up at the track.. I had the whole block rebuilt from almost scratch to reinforence everything and it just didnt run right... Ran it one time just at the street and it just went out on me... So i junked the everything i had in it.. i found a slightly used 4g64 at the junkyard so im thinking of going N/A. Keep in mind, im still the fast G on here though.. 13.94 wrecation of.515 at 112mph.. that was my listed time i had..

[NAWWZZgalant]

so you were able to get a 13.9 with the ZEX kit.....

[Reelax]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NAWWZZgalant)</div><div class='quotemain'>so you were able to get a 13.9 with the ZEX kit.....</div>

umm he had more than just a "zex kit" think multiple zex kits and the bottom end and electronics to match.

[HeadAche]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NAWWZZgalant)</div><div class='quotemain'>so you were able to get a 13.9 with the ZEX kit.....</div>

It was a lot more than just the kit i was spraying anywhere from 125-175 shot at anytime, because i did not let the throttle decide when to spray i used a custom button that my boyz rigged for me.. not including a lot of electronics, and other things.. if u want parts list of everything i did to it i will get u one..

HEY REELAX, its a been a while bro.. whats going on with the car man..! Still doing it V.I.P i see..lol.. im going a different way this car bro.. think of doing NA, what do u think?

[NAWWZZgalant]

the engine has 12000miles on it....how long will it last???

[HeadAche]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NAWWZZgalant)</div><div class='quotemain'>the engine has 12000miles on it....how long will it last???</div>

It really depends on u bro.. if u wanna go spray crazy you'll blow ur shit up in a couple months.. me, i blew my motor up twice the second time for good... if u can maintain it and keep up with everything u'll be fine.. i put close to $8g into my car purely motor, electronics, and bottom end work just to keep up with the need for speed..

[NAWWZZgalant]

in what way does it hurt the motor??

[pinoyesv6]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NAWWZZgalant)</div><div class='quotemain'>in what way does it hurt the motor??</div>

you can pretty much blow it up. but yea running your car @ full throttle puts some stress on your car. and then with the addition of nos, u are running your motor under stresses that it wasn't manufactured for. one day it will just break or if you spray @ the wrong time

im still getting it done slowly...

super vr4 kit sitting in my guest bedroom. other stuff on the way but just slow... work is killing me.

[Alister_McRae]

So pretty much its a question of When you will blow ur motor running nos, and not if you blow it?

[Gspeedvr42k1]

Edward - *Shit, hes got enough nos in there to blow him self up, period.*

Hey Kemist and others with knowledge in this arena, there's something I don't understand. I know some system only trigger at WOT b/c you would get more air and fuel in the chamber. But how much does the actual volume of air/fuel mixture at different rpms change and how does the N2O system know how much to put in the system? Can this be measured some other way than just the throtle position (TP)? I guess that's what you were getting at in the previous post. Seems like the right way would be to take the TP, engine speed, and volume of fuel all into consideration to give you the most accurate and safest conditions. An additional plus would be to regulate the amount of N2O going in for even smoother and gradual introduction and addition of N2O.

You are just about completely right on this one. TP, engine speed, and volume of air to fuel would be the only way to determine how much to spray at any certain speed. But u also have to take into account the size of the motor.. Every application is based on the dimesions or the motors size and the Nitrous oxide is electronically distributed based upon that. If u could just distribute it nitrous into every motor than all kits would be universal and not based on whether u have 1.8 or a 5.0. Each system has been tuned based on that reasoning for the size of engine and what it takes in as in air to fuel, at what speed, and TP.. TP, i believe is not the best way to deliver N20 into any system because u could be full out at 100%, which is full stress on ur motor, and ur system spray for u, and then u will encurr detonation, the melting of a rod, or seizing of the crankshaft.. The only really safe way to deliver nitrous into any car, would be to figure out how much ur going to use, and at what speed, and the rpm range.. If ur thinking of trying to regulate the amount of nitrous per the TP, Engine Speed, and air to fuel, u would need some serious calculations, more so to have a stand along single fogger system with computer hook up, so u can properly distribute it properly.. i hope this helps some..
