shadowone · 03-19-2008, 05:48 PM

a buddy of mine is wanting to sell me a zex nitrous system. the computer controlled one. he has the complete system bottle, hoses, computer, bottle warmer, purge, selenoids. everything i need except the wire he said. he wants $400 for the kit. what do you guys think of the zex system. is it good or crap and is it worth $400?

shadowone · 03-20-2008, 12:49 PM

anybody have any input on this system???

sampson101st · 03-20-2008, 08:29 PM

its ok, cheap HP for 400.00

Seems like the system of choice is not a Zex but a NX system on here.

Thats a GREAT price. I have zex and LOVED IT, VERY GOOD SYSTE AND WORTH the money

shadowone · 03-21-2008, 04:17 PM

you had any problems with it. how hard was it to install?

Phil · 03-21-2008, 04:38 PM

That is a good price, since the standard Zex wet or dry system does not come with a purge kit or bottle heater. The same with NX..!!The Zex bottle heater is not a very good unit for fast heating of the bottle in cold weather. I'm not sure what you mean by except the wire???

There has been problems with the Zex NMU (nitrous mangement unit) not activating or activating when it should not. Don't know if this is still a problem..??? It is the easiest system to install in my opinion. Zex rates their hp shot at the motor.

shadowone · 03-21-2008, 04:50 PM

except the wire needed to pwer everything up. they guy im buying from is planning on another setup later on and is leaving the wire and toggles in his car.

MACHYOUNG · 03-21-2008, 07:08 PM

I agree with Phil. That is a pretty good price since w/o the purge and heater is over $500.00. That set-up helped mine into the tens!

cre8787 · 03-22-2008, 12:55 PM

I used mine for a year without any problems. Just sold that same set up for $700.00. Very easy to install. Thats a steel, buy it.
