Default zex kit

install pics states that I have to have 53 PSI min from fuel supply line....Does this mean there is a built in fuel pressure safety switch in the purple box holding the noids, or is that just what the noids require....also am I going to have to have a inline fuel pump to make 53 psi?

Btw I think this kit came off an lt1 car, and Im running it on my ls1...but I dont believe thats going to be an issue

thanks,

Pride

Your fuel psi should be OK, and no, there isn't any any fpss in the box I'm afraid.
You have quite a few mods there. If your still on your stock pump you might want to stay with a small shot, say 75. [ Maybe even a 55].
Don't know if your pump can support any more then that.

I wouldn't trust the stock pump to keep up. I wouldn't recommend an inline pump either. Go straight to the source and do a larger volume intank pump with hotwire kit.

Some of the stuff you can always add on as you go like the gauge and adapter. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but sometimes its easier to just buy new. Good luck and let me know if you run into any questions.

The trutch is everyone assumes they will do nitrous and just be cheap. Thats what gives nitrous a bad rep because those guys are normally the ones that blow there motor. To do it right it adds up fairly quick. However there is no other mod you can do for the money to get the results you can from the right nitrous system.

I would look into a racetronix fuel system for your fuel supply. We keep them instock.
