I got the same heat range, just Iridium tipped (which will work fine)

NGK Iridiums FTW

and install for me took about 3-4 hours with 2 people

thanks man..you mean NGK iridiums with same heat range as stock plugs or same heat range of Zex plugs? where do they sell those NGK plugs?...you have the fg right? where did you run your cables through?

is there anything else other than new different spark plugs that i need to get thats not included in the #82021 zex kit? thanks for the feedbakc kurt

A stock plug should work fine for a small shot of nitrous(50-75). Once you get in the 150-200 range you should think about getting a colder plug. NOS recommends that instead of a colder plug you should use a plug with a shorter ground strap. (Such as a autolite racing plug). The problem with that is the racing plugs are non-resistor. Non-resistor plugs will cause interfeance with the radio and cause engine noise. The glowing hot groungstrap is moretimes than not the cause for pre-detonation. You can prevent this with a plug with a shorter groundstrap that doesnt hang in the cilynder as far. Or you can use a colder plug. A colder plug doesnt hold heat as long and there for There is less chance for pre-detonation.

check your plugs before you get new ones - you might already have iridium tipped. (i did but i still put the new ones in)

and yeah, i have a 55 shot (zex) on my non-si. what wires are you asking about? i have a bunch of pictures of my setup, let me know what you're looking for and i'll be glad to help you.

RomesKdUB · 11-23-2006, 12:15 PM

i was thinking of going like atleast 1 degree colder just play it safe..im planing on just leaving it at 75..and use it once in a while..but well see. Cool do you have any pictures of where you made the holes for the tubing. Are the lines that zex comes with long enough..like so say are they going to be dangling all far in my engine bay depending on the location of my bottle?

I dont mean to steal your thread, but kurt i think my girlfriend is planning on buying me ZEX. and installation here costs a lot of money, if i drove there in cali, will help me out to put it on?
