I have a b18c5 with intake, header, cat-back, stage 1 clutch, lightweight flywheel, and SRP 11.0:1 pistons. I have a brand new ZEX nitrous kit laying around and I would like to know if my car will be able to handle a 75 shot?

good eye dude, i thought it was same post at first

so I need to upgrade my injectors???? What if I ran a 75 with stock Fuel pressure regulator and injectors?

i personally wouldn't run nos on a b18c5 if i owned one, straight up. i'd figure out what turbo setup would be the best personally, and go that direction. nos is good and bad

I personally wouldnt run boost on a c5...

yeah, it's kind of a double edge sword, it's tough do either direction you take. i wouldn't risk my motor on instant gratification is what i was trying to go for on that statement. if i owned one i'd figure out something more permanent. i know the high comp and boost don't mix well, nos is cool but temporary

i knew i saw this question before...if your going to run turbo or nos with that motor you should build the block...and i personally would boost it after building the block

A wet 75 shot ain't shit to srp pistons it will take it all day and no injectors are needed

Nitrous is as safe as boost if not safer and remember fuel is number one

Thats what I like to hear lol, thats the only reason i installed SRP's because I wanted to run nitrous in the future. So if I ran a 55 or 75 dry shot with colder spark plugs, it should be ok? The zex kit says it has a brain box that controls the fuel.

IMHO...sell the zex kit and buy NX or NOS. i dont like some half ass "brain box" controlling the fuel going into my motor.

either way..you should be jsut fine..as a safety i would pick up a larger fuel pump and an adjustable FPR..other then that 2 steps colder on the plugs and back off your timing some and you're golden.

I say go wet and you insist on going dry. Simple dry kits damage fuel injectors due to high fuel pressure it mess up the pulsation of the injectors like what a FMU does. I also think you should go with NOS or NX kit. I run NOS kits in both my cars.

The ZEX kit is virtually idiot proof once installed right. It does all the hard stuff for you - No wiring in of fuel cut off switches or worry about wether or not the mix is right - it adjusts it for you. Select yMore experienced users will find that the ZEX kit isn't right for them. But for a majority ofthe people out there just starting out with spray - it is a GREAT place to start. Select your jets and go. I personally won't run anything but a Multiport setup due to dry and wet single nozzle distribution issues. BOTH wet and dry single nozzle sets have thier drawbacks - usually not a problem if the kit is used right and under the 100hp mark though.
