here it is, the zex wet kit #82021 nitrous install diy. very detailed pics to come (in a day or two)

TOOLS/SUPPLIES:
various wrenches, sockets,volt meter, phillips/flathead screwdriver, spool of 16ga red wire, spool of 16ga black wire, thread sealer paste (NOT TAPE!!!, bits of the tape can clog lines), wheather strip adhesive (waterproff), drill, various drill bits, carpet knife.

NITROUS PARTS/ MISC PARTS:
zex kit #82021, purge kit(optional), rapid fire module(optional), ngk plugs(bkr6es-11), 190 walboro fuel pump, trans cooler(auto), upgraded clutch(manual), nitrous pressure gauge, a/f gauge, fuel rail adapter (fordfastrr) various jets, blown down tube (required at tracks), switches(nos arming, purge), second fuse panel (makes wiring so much easier, no tapping into exixting wires. bought at a marine store).

INSTALL:
1) get a friend to help, its much easier :)
2) disconnect battery
3) decide where the bottle is going to be mounted.
4) make a mounting platform, or attatch the mounting brackets where you want the bottle.
5) remove the intake assembly, set aside
6) drill hole where your going to run the main nos line from the bottle to the engine bay. my bottle is located behind the drivers seat. i drilled the hole thru the carpet and out the bottom of the car. use a grommet to fill the hole and run the line thru it. use weathstrip adhesive to seal in the grommet.
7) run main nos line along the drivers side of car along the brake lines. zip tie as you go. run line up and into top of the engine bay near brake booster. leave there, you will come back to it later.
8) mount nitrous management unit (NMU) to firewall. make sure you test fit the fuel line to find correct placement of (NMU).
9) 3 wires coming from NMU (red/black/white) red- run to 12volt source, black to ground, white to tps sensor wire.
-TPS sensor wire-this wire is the middle wire (BLUE/BCK STRIPE) you can find out the wire by putting a volt meter on the wire that has an increased reading on the volt meter. the car will have to be running to find this out.
10) mount the purge solenoid on the firewall about 6" to the left of the NMU.
11) wire the purge solenoid-2 wires coming from this
1st wire tap into 12 volt source and connect same wire to purge switch. 2nd wire connect to ground.
12) drill hole into intake tube from 6" to 9" from TB. make sure you drill the hole in a good spot as the fogger will be installed and you dont want the fogger to hit on anything (i.e. hood, master cylinder). use the tap that cam with the kit to tap the drilled hole. thuroughly clean and remove all metal bits from inside intake tube. you dont want these ending up inside the engine.
13) use thread sealer past and apply to the threads of the fogger. screw fogger into intake tube. make sure when you put the figger into the intake the opening of the fogger inside the tube is SPRAYING TWORD THE TB!!!!
14) now you can start to run all the braided steel lines.
15) attatch the main nos line from the bottle to NOS IN the NMU
16) from the fuel rail adapter, run that line to FUEL IN the NMU
17) install the jets you want. both NOS and FUEL.
18 now from the NMU, run the line from the NOS out to the fogger (nos)
19) now from the NMU, run the line from the FUEL out to the fogger (fuel)
20) if your using a purge kit, go back to step 15, attatch the purge braided line to the nos in on the NMU. there will be a fitting on this to run 2 lines. 1 goes into the NMU, the other goes into the IN PURGE solenoid.
21) use the metal tube supplied with the purge kit to run the purge sprayer.
22) tighten all braided lines, use thread sealer only on NON TAPERED fittings. tapered fitting will seal themselves.
23) recheck all electricle connections.
24) re-connect the battery

PROGRAMMING THE ACTIVATION SWITCH:
1) turn vehicle on, NOT RUNNING
2)turn on NOS master arming switch
3) on the NMU, locate the black push button switch. press, then release.
4) look at he led lihtson the NMU, it should be RED
5) red indicates that the NMU is in "learning mode"
6) go iside car. press gas pedal to floor(WOT) hold there for 10 seconds.
7) go back and look at the NMU. the led should be flashing continuously from red to green to off (no light)
8) now the NMU has learned the voltage curve of the TPS sensor.
9) with the key still on the on position, turn the master nos arming switch off.
10)now turn the master nos arming switch back on.
11) now the led on the NMU should be solid green ( this indicates that the NMU is ready to be armed and activated at WOT.
12) get back into the drivers seat. press the gas pedal (WOT) a couple of times. you should hear the solenoid clicking at WOT.
13) at this point the activation switch is fully programed and ready for use.

you may want to remove the fogger from the intake tube, hold away from your face and rev the engine at WOT. the fogger will spray. this is to be sure that everything is working before you go to the street/track and try it out. CAUTION< the fogger will spray nos and gas so care should be taken.

i forgot to mention the locations of the nos arming switch and the purge switch. i used the blanks next to the cluster illumination button for the purge switch. the nos arming switch, i drilled a hole beside the fuse access panel and wired it there. use weatherstrip adhesive to seal all wires ran thru firewall. its a good idea to use grommets as well.

plenty of detailed pics very soon.

NOW ITS TIME TO START SPRAYING !!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY JUICING. dont forget to change plugs after 10 bottles.

special thanks goes out to brian mobley for helping me with the install.
also, many thanks to fordfastrr for all the help and coming thru with the fuel rail adapter. :D :D :D

FORD>> please feel free to add, or clarify anything on this DIY. i may have left a coupl things out. thanks alot man.

as far as installing the gauges..i havent gotten that far. and i still dont know where they will go.

ok here is a nitrous jetting guide. ford mentioned when he put in the jets for the 80 shot, it didnt scream like it should. so he went down 3 fuel jet sizes and it screamed then. so this guide should be about right based on his calculations.
43n-25f=80 shot
42n-24f=75 shot
41n-23f=70 shot
40n-22f=65 shot
39n-21f=60 shot
38n-20f=55 shot
37n-19f=50 shot

i was waiting for evan to do this, of ford. lmoa friend with the cam is at a mustang meet all day. i have very detailed pics of wire placement as well as line placement. if i were to do another install, it would only take me about 2.5 hrs to do. it was fairly easy to do.

i almost threw up the "this thread is worthless without pics" icon myself.

The fogger will spray nos and gas? My nitrous setup sprays nitrous oxide and petrol; must be something wrong with yours. ;)

whats wrong evan, a few posts ago you said you cab do it in a couple of hours. lol
no prob man, ill do the install. just make sure you have everything you will need. and be sure to buy a secondary fuse panel. it makes wiring extra stuff soooo much easier. :)

evan938
08-14-2005, 06:46 PM
you talkin about the thing you showed me under your seat? be nice to have it for stuff like my gauges and **** so i dont have to tap into any other wires. ive already f'ed up a few wires doing that. need to make a trip to u wrench it to get some new used wires

2loud2k2xd
08-14-2005, 06:48 PM
yeah, its under the pass front seat. a 12 panel fuse thingy (lol)
the best way to wire aftermarket add ons. 35.00 at your local marine store. not including the 6ga power wire needed to wire it from the main battery.

evan938
08-14-2005, 06:52 PM
not going to drain the main battery is it?

and hurry up and get AIM damnit! lol

08-14-2005, 06:54 PM
no, its activated by the switches you wire into it with the accesories(sp)

ok guys, the pics have been sent to me. give me about a half hour to upload them on here. :)
it looks f'n sweet!!

ok guys, the first post is all done. full DIY complete with instructions and pics.

I've been through this on more than one occasion ..

It is my best suggestion to you that from now on, you don't tell your girlfried about ANYTHING you to do the car...

I promise, somehow.. someday.. it will come back to bite you in the a$$ .

evan938
08-15-2005, 03:40 PM
5 hours IIRC

2loud2k2xd
08-15-2005, 03:58 PM
i can do it in 2.5 hrs now that ive done it once before
as long as ALL parts, and needed suppplies are at hand

just received in the mail the new jets and the new purge switch.
omg, damn post-office needs to hurry the F' up and get my fuel rail here. its almose the weekend. im itching to use the bottle. its a tease sitting in the back seat...closed. lol

alright guys. today was the day. everything installed and operating correctly. i put about a 50 shot jetting. this screams!!!!!!!!!! when the nitrous sprays. i ran it from a stop the 3rd time. i can light up the tires ALOT!! before the little 2.0 could barely do one. i am going to be a nitrous junkie:) i can already tell. i cant wait to put in a 75/80 shot in and feel difference in the power.
this is by far the best mod ive done so far. i dont know why i waited this long to put this in.

thanks ford, you helped out tons. :D

HAPPY JUICING FELLAS

i bet ill run this bottle down before the weekend is over.

Out of curiosity, how many runs can you get in with a 10lbs bottle?

2loud2k2xd
08-20-2005, 01:34 AM
not sure about how many runs. i probalby ran it about 10x today. no 1/4mile times but a couple of shifts on the freeway, and a couple of stop/go runs. i get ALOT of wheel spin so i have to figure that out. ill probably go to the track next weekend or something. i want to throw 75 shot jets and really feel it kick in. but running a 50 shot it seams like the motor can take more. so maby tomorrow ill throw in the 75 shot jets and see what happens.
time to sleep now. too much to drink. later

Dont blow that motor up yet, you havent even made it to the track!

2loud2k2xd
08-20-2005, 09:20 AM
the motor sounds like im not spraying when i am. no hesitation, just very clean. 50 shot for daily is cool, but i want to throw in a 75 and see them. 1st and 2nd gears SCREAM!! but while doing 60 on the freeway theres not so much of a pull.

Your running this NOS stuff alot, I thought this crap tents to hurt engines alot?

evan938
08-20-2005, 11:35 AM
its not NOS. its ZEX. either call it what it is, or call it nitrous.

when you say "NOS" and its not an actual NOS (nitrous oxide systems is the name of the company) you sound like you watch too much FATF

2loud2k2xd
08-20-2005, 01:02 PM
i dont think a 50 shot continuously would hurt too much. as long as the motor is well maitined. i need to hook up my pressure gauge to see whats left in the bottle. too much showing off at the cruise this weekend.

I like to weak up dead threads...is there any chance you have a picture or video of your system being purged?

2loud2k2xd
12-20-2005, 08:44 PM
i dont have any video yet. go to zex.com and there is a video of the rapid fire machine gun purge like i have. theirs is in blue, i have red led.
