Question Zex Nitrous Oxide

Hello All,

I have a 2000 XLT with a 5.4L Triton V8, i have recently bought a Zex 100HP Dry Nitrous oxide kit and i was curious as to if anyone has ever installed one on their f-150??? Or if anyone knows if it will work or not?

Of course it will work, that is a modest shot for that engine too, it will hold up fine. Just make sure you are getting enough fuel to match the squeeze and you will be fine. That really should wake it up, I'm curious to see how it reacts to a 100 shot. I would not go any higher than a 100 though.

What does it use to trick the PCM into adding enough fuel for the Nitrous? As soon as My tranny is fixed and funds are available I want to get their Wet nitrous kit.
It has jets for 75-100-125 hp.

Regards

The nitrous kit uses a computer that detects when the throttle position is at 100% before it starts the injection of nitrous and then as soon as you let your foot off the petal or the throttle position goes below 100% or the air/fuel ratio is too lean it kicks off the flow of nitrous.

zraptor,

I want to know where it gets the fuel. A dry nitrous system uses the existing Fuel injectors to add fuel. One way is to trick the PCM into adding fuel the other way is to boost fuel pressure. Which does it use and how does it do it?

according to Zex, the nitrous computer goes through the PCM to increase fuel pressure.

zraptor,

That makes sense. The Fuel pressure regulator is vacuum operated and the PCM controls the vacuum.

Thanks

as a matter of fact i used it for the first time a few hrs ago and it works great, it definetely puts your head in the seat. but be careful, excessive or use in a lean fuel mixture can lead to major engine damage
