Hey brat,

Do a search on Nitrous. When I did, I came up with way too many links...

The Zex website has a truck package for nitrous.

Depends how much you use it and how high of jets you use. I doubt you will damage the motor but your transmission is the weak link. You might want to look into upgrading the bands and some other tweaks to the transmission.

There is a lot of info on both in the forum.

Good luck

Will

Man I have never installed a NOS system on any vehicle before I did my truck. The ZEX could not be a simpler install and the SOTP performace with only a 55 shot is impresssive! 3 things you need to look out for in order to be "safe" when running NOS is #1 Timing- from what I gather our stock timing curve is good for up to a 150 shot max! Now if you were running a performance tune w/ increased timing you would want to pull timing out before hitting the spray. #2 installing cooler spark plugs and re-gapping to .30 or .35. #3 run a minimum of 93 octane when sprayying....but 105+ is even more safe!

The Zex truck system comes w/ jets from 55-75-100-125 HP shots. Staying at a 55-75 shot on a stock QC would probably be conservative/safe. You could probably get away w/ a 100 if you wanted. I am no rear end expert but I'd think your tranny would hold up ok since the QC PCM flash makes it shift real firm and they have no trouble w/ that.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I did research for 2 months before deciding on which kit/company to order from. I'll be posting pics of the install when I go to the track and get some quarter mile times as well.

EFI WET NITROUS SYSTEM - Trucks
Part #82047
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The engines may be the same, but trucks have different nitrous needs

ZEX™ introduces the first nitrous system specially engineered for the performance and safety needs of hot rod, off-road and late model truck owners. When designing their new truck nitrous systems, ZEX™ engineers looked at truck configurations, which feature larger engine bays and different cab locations than cars. Taking into consideration the unique needs of truck performance enthusiasts, ZEX™ designers created the safest, cleanest and easiest nitrous system you can buy.

ZEX™ Truck Nitrous Systems come complete with everything you need and require only two hours to install; a simple plug and play procedure for 4, 6, or 8 cylinder EFI engines. The ideal nitrous system for any fuel injected truck, ZEX™ Truck Nitrous Systems feature Active Fuel Control™ technology, which monitors nitrous bottle pressure and then adjusts fuel enrichment for the perfect mixture. ZEX™ systems activate electronically at wide-open throttle, using your engine’s TPS sensor - it’s almost like traction control for your truck - achieving perfect nitrous engagement, especially on newer throttle by wire trucks.

For more information about the new ZEX™ Truck Nitrous System or other ZEX™ products, visit us online at www.zex.com or call ZEX™ at 1-888-817-1008.

there are several things you need to have a complete 100% nitrous system for your truck that dont come in the pre=package kits.
the off the self stuff is just to get your feet wet, but there are dangers to just using what comes in the kit.
they come with cheesy toggle switches, and no exact application instructions or the correct length lines for the SRT to plumb it with
-the kits come with a tps or wot switch. you dont want to spray in first gear, or you need to manuely spray it, thats a PIA. also this method doesnt provide for over rev from a missed shift or tire spin. an over rev-hitting the rev limiter while spraying can be very very bad.
to eliminate that, and spray after first gear only at WOT starting at a programed rpm, and ending at a programmed rpm , you need a programable window switch.
- the kits dont include a pressure gauge for the bottle, so you dont know when you low, or at what pressure. or a purge kit.
it all depends what you want from a system and how accurate, and convient you want it to be as well as a safety precautions.
since we have been installing NOS on the SRT's we have found that the ZEX system is good, the solenoids from NX are more accurate, durable and a 1/3 of the weight of the other companies'.
we now have a complete bolt on kit that includes the everything from a remote bottle opener, bottle heater and maintainer, programable window/tps/rpm controller that has a first gear lockout -you program what rpm you want the nos to kick in and what rpm to turn off-and can control 2 stages of nitrous if so desired to upgrade later, all the corect length lines, wires, complete instructions, and pictures of the install for your exact application. a direct bolt on kit for the SRT.
we will have a price on the complete package etc, next week when i get back from california.

Gary....

Great post...the only thing that I would say is that for guys thinking of going 100 hp or more...a supplemental fuel system is needed....ie a wet shot.....

OH YEAH-good point, i forgot, our system is a wet system! and we do offer a supplemental fuel system with timing controller for those wanting MORE than a 100 shot

 

[Brat]

do you want black anodized or brushed finish?

brushed finished,iam doing the inside of the truck with a billet look,thanks boomer.

Boomer quick Q, where will the nitrous be sprayin? In the intake duct or we drilling in to the intake manifold? Or is it the throttle body?

the intake duct before the throttle body, and or we make a TB spacer with a NOS fitting in it. our new Billet TB (6 weeks out) will also have a NOS port also

yes, i use predominatly NX parts, they have been doing it so long, that they have everything down to a science. we still use other componets if they are better, and some of our own also., we combined a variatable plethoray of parts to make a complete bolt on kit, with even pictures of what wires go where.

boomer.......is this the part where I jump in and smile
