Ok i just ordered the zex wet kit and i was wondering if there is anything else i need to get to make the kit work specifically a fuel line tap? ive read many threads including the for sale people saying they also have the fuel tap line or what not? can someone tell me if i need this or not? and where to get it if i do .. .

 

A wet kit needs to get fuel from somewhere, doesn't it?

My advice and I know this is a little late... spraying an 8 is retarded.

 

^ I would totally disagree with you

so will 20 or so other forum members

you need to tap the fuel line dude

and any one of us nitrous junkies can help you with the install

I recommend pming Charles R. Hills

 

Definitely have it done by a professional if your not one yourself. There was a thread a few months ago of someone tapping the line and not remembering to correctly clamp it and his car caught on fire. There are a bunch of forums members who have had success with nitrous injection. Good luck

^i was thinking in that thread 2

 

no no guys your getting me wrong i know you have to tap the fuel line http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=300221028003

thats what i mean. do i need this? or is it just if i want to use a pressure gauge right there... lol i didnt me to come off like an idiot. lol and no i have never installed nitrous but and mechanically savy and have read all of charles posts and been talking to him and i am have a buddy that has installed multiple nitrous kits help me also

 

obviously you haven't been reading enough. the nitrous kit comes with pretty much everything you need to tap into the fuel line

do what Charles says, get a new fuel line instead of screwing up your old one. get atleast an 85PSI line, if you're uber rich, then get 200 PSI silicone line, there's no difference, just feels more secure. tap that line, route it to the nitrous solenoid.

the best way for you to place your fuel pressure gauge is @ the nitrous solenoid fuel inlet since if it leaks there, at least your car doesn't go up in flames, and it is easier to manage. you need an adaptor if your fuel pressure gauge didn't already come with one (Chris gave me his) and its 5/13, that thing that you linked to ebay looks a bit.........uhm.......unstable and small. and the dude doesn't say whats the inlet.

if you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, you don't need it cus the nitrous kit comes with 1 already

 

Disagree with me all you want... your sprayed RX-8 will run what? mid 13s if you can launch. That's a pooch compared to just about anything else at the track. Just take it for what it's worth... a sports car designed for corners. Dealing with it makes a lot more sense than subjecting it to the bottle.

 

i bought the fuel line from chrism tht was tapped by charles so im good ther. as for a pressure gauge i dont think my kit came w/ one.....i got the kit yesterday and just got surgery today so wen i can ill go check it again.

and for spraying my 8 who cares if u think its retarded its my money. j/b the rx8 is slower doesnt mean its dumb to drag it i like the looks n ill get it to the low 13's n be an eye opener..*unique* wont be ur typical mustang, z, ect.

 

i dont know where u drag at but sti's mustangs, z's, rsx, tibs, most of them dont even hit mid 13's cept for the nicley modded ones but ur average street car. ide say that will make sumone go o those 8s can be fast j/b u dont think it is impressive doesnt mean every one else wil. i beat my buddys prodramed gt and got a huge reaction n i ran lik a 14.1

 

ne ways u got ur opinion i have mine we gotta agree to disagree. cheers

 

ok this is a extreme noob question so would prefer to avoid the flaming... I use to have a 04 8 stock and now looking at building a new one and looking at running a nitrous system does anyone have any sugestions on what kits are out there and pros and cons for each

 

^The ZEX 55hp shot kit is the one used by most RX8 owners. But just search for it and you will find it. The search button is at the top right of the page, type in Nitrous, and you will find everything you need to know.

thanks and I have searched but you would be suprissed how many threads have nitrous in them and how the search function works

 

search nitrous, then read anything that has been started my charles r hill.

you want the zex wet kit w/ a 55/55 shot or some been have good luck w/ 55/65 fuel shot. Ill post up my times and findings as charles and everyone else has as soon as everything installed, also put up vids as soon as im done

 

I have done 50/55/60/65 and 75 shot

50 shot works best, 55 shot doesn't do ****, its the same as 50 shot (1 size nozzle difference) I dynoed both, both got 30whp gain

60 shot worked on my car without real problems, but was like 32whp gain? lawlz
65 shot worked for a while, then blew my airfilter
75 shot blew the intake pipe in half, the car still works though

The zex kit is best because its 1 solenoid and comes pre packed so you don't have to worry much about anything, but if you run like 500 shot, you might need something a bit crazier
