Is the ZEX kit for the R18 and the Si the same? Also I can see it work well with the R18 but aren't you worried about the Higher Compression in the Si?
Seems to me that it would run a higher risk of detonation. I bet Nitrous is a lot more effective in the R18 than it will be on the Si because Nitrous accellerates the combustion process and increases compression which could be dangerous on an already High Compression engine as the K20 in the Si.
