Zex and fuel...
Does the Zex kit modify the fuel flow in any way to add more fuel in relation to the amount of nitrous?

So, there is a fuel line that taps into the stock line and shoots additional fuel into the intake with the nitrous? Isn't that what a "wet system" is? I thought this is a "dry kit".
From what I've gathered, a "wet system" uses a seperate fuel line injecting fuel into the intake and a "dry system" uses the stock system to inject more fuel. How exactly does the Zex system tap into the stock fuel system? What does it do to it?

The nitrous line goes into the purple box "control unit"... when flow is seen in the nitrous line, the control unit ups the fuel pressure of the stock fuel pressure regulator.
The additional fuel is gained by increasing the fuel pressure through the stock injectors, not through a seperate injector or nozzle.
So it is a dry system.

I guess it knows what jet you have by the velocity of the nitrous. How does it know how much to raise the fuel pressure according to your specific car?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It doesn't really know the jet size. That' why it comes with different jets for both the fuel pressure "adjuster" and the nitrous. I think in actuality it reads the pressure and just the presence of flow.
I usually start with a slightly richer fuel jet than recommended.. then test it on a dyno with a wide band O2. Then lean it out if it needs it.
With the selection of jets, you can get pretty close to the 12:1 or 13:1 ratio that I would recommend for nitrous runs.

Could I check this with a simple A/F guage? Nearest dyno is 100+ miles away.
So a wet system would be better then so you wouldn't have to worry about the fuel/nitrous mixture? What type of system would you recommend (wet or dry)?

I recommend a dry system for low power applications <75 hp. But for serious nitrous power, a wet direct port is the way to go.
You could test it with just a wide band O2 sensor... some shops will have these and no dyno. A cheapy O2 sensor might do it. Or you could do as ZEX recommends... reading spark plugs.

for high applications,... the venom kit would be good as well. For some that have turbos or chargers with bigger injectors, the venom kit taps into the electrical wiring and pulses the injectors to squeeze out more fuel. The system also adjust how much fuel will be coming out. It also taps into your 1st 02 sensor, just to ensure you got the right amount of fuel wink
My kit will be put to the test in about a month
WARNING!
WITH ZEX please make sure the clamps are extremely TIGHT,... i thought mine where, but i was wrong. Clamp down both sides of the nitrous fuel pressure lines.
