when running nitrous...
is there any fuel upgrades that I should or can do to improve power? I got a zex kit for a really good price and I plan to run 65 shot on my Integra LS. Would an upgraded fuel pump and/or fuel pressure regulator help? thanks!

other than retarding your timing..you really dont need to adj your fuel pressure...u may wanna get a FPR if you go any higher than a 65hp shot...also is it a fogger system or a direct port inj system

Zex is not a dry fogger, it's a dry kit. Fogger refers to a nitrous and fuel "fog" mixture. All you need are one step colder plugs, gap to .030", and retard timing 1-2°. Zex is designed for stock fuel systems. I run a 75 shot with no problem.

whatever it is, its a beginner/practice kit...grab an NX kit for some real power.

Haha another believer that NX just makes more power, when all they do is use bigger jets...use the same size jets on any other kit and you'll see the same gains. And I personally wouldn't want fuel travelling through the air intake, it likes to ignite and cause an intake backfire.

yeah, that's called "detonation". but, if you install the kit correctly, and operate it correctly, you should have no problems. anyway, you should use a dry kit for your motor because of the intake setup on your motor (which i assume you have if you bought your kit new). the long intake runners can create puddling with a wet kit, and that leads to detonation. dry kits use a fuel riser to add more fuel to your system when you spray by dropping vaccum pressure from your fpr.
you need to find out what hp level your kit is designed to make for your particular car. also, find out how much fuel pressure you need to have to run a 65 shot and make sure you can achieve that level. you may actually need to get an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator to accomplish this, though it's very likely you won't need to go to that extreme with only a 65 shot.
btw, i'm going on info from NOS. that's the only kit i use. they have been in business for a long, long time afterall...
