well i tought about it and decided to do the installation myself

just one question

i have a throttle body spacer and the plastic thing in between the throttle body and maf sensor is kind of crunched up

i read the manual and it said that it should be put before the TB and after the MAF sensor

in my case would you recommend me to take off the spacer and run the nozzle on the plastic thing, or what would happen if i were to put the nozzle on the lid before the maf sensor

thanks for the help

if anybody has pics of their set up i'd really appreciate it

if you have a dry put it in the lid if you got a wet put the nozzle in the bellow after the maf! facing the intake so it can shoot in the intake!

im having trouble finding a way to put it on
i've tried looking online for pics of the setup byt cant seem to fnd anything

does anybody have a pic of how they ran the fuel to the unit

i noticed that their is like 2 fuel lines next to each other wich one is the correct one, what other set ups is their to run the fuel.

on my zex kit it came with a 90 degree 4an female/male fitting that screwed onto the scharder valve.but u must remove the valve core first. if your kit didn't come with the fitting just find a shop that makes hydraulic hoses and they will have it.

Double check everything befor you try it !! Make sure the nitrous and fuel lines are going to the correct places ( zex box and jet ). Befor using the nitrous, make sure the wide open switch is working - listen for the solenoids to click.
