Zex and Venom are to the nitrous world what AOL is to ISPs.

Get the NX and race with the rest of the men.

JG / Edelbrock is the best nitrous oxide system on the market right now. They feature stainless steel jets (not cheapo brass that rusts/oxidizes).

Out of the two you listed, Nitrous Express is much, much better. ssvr6 pretty much stated it. NX would be like "earthlink" in his way of explaining it. Earthlink is 99/100 if not 100/100. NX is probably 90/100, and Edelbrock is 98-99/100. Zex or Venom are down about 65/100. All of these are measured in quality.

If you have $6-700 to throw down on a Nitrous Oxide system, send it all to Edelbrock, you won't be making a bad decision.

the NX system is good and probably the one I would go with but be sure to check out the new system ZEX has. They call it the "Ejector Air Amplifier" and it's suppose to make for an easy installation, it's a system that someone can do at home. What they did was hook up the nozzle to the top of the filter element and they're claiming it is a very efficient way of being on the bottle.
-I haven't read any reviews on it yet but research a bit and let us all know.

Guys, you can't use Zex or Venom anyway. You have to use a wet kit and the above are both dry.

grooveline: Listen up, foo! I stated that brass oxidizes. It's obvious brass is cheaper than Stainless Steel. And if you stuck brass in water for a long time, it would oxidize / rust, unlike stainless steel. Read the website for more info on that.

JEDI-SI: My $600 is being shipped to JG / Edelbrock. It's your money, so you choose.

As long as it's a wet kit, I guess it won't matter. Just make sure you get the correct jets for a 2.0 4cyl. You don't want to shoot a 150 shot by accident.

SSVR6 made a real good point. Make sure you're not jetting it for more than a 75 shot on a fairly stock motor, unless you want fried pistons on the menu. Have you seen what happens to a block when a moron takes a 150 shot to a stock engine and runs it all day long, your pistons will have chunks missing and you'll be lucky not to have the rods coming through the block. I've seen some pretty bad pictures of what might happen.

Another point, make sure the system is set up so it comes on after 3500rpms and only at full throttle and it cuts off a few hundred rpms before the fuel is shut off to the engine.

You can run more than a 75 shot, MiamiJDM is running a 100 wet and is moving to a direct port 125 (IRC).

Just be knowledgeable about what you're doing when installing N2O.

Here's the 'accessories' I am getting to ensure I get no problems.

Safety switch set to 3,000rpm
Bottle Heater
Purge Valve
Remote Bottle Opener
Max out a 50hp Jet.

Then i'll get all the engine work so I can shoot a 200hp jet. :eek:

Good luck bro! And don't jet too much, or, kaboom.

Things you'll also need.

Blow down tube and fitting (can't race at the track with out it)
Nitrous pressure gauge in the car
Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge
Colder plugs
No ECU mods unless it's programmed with N2O in mind. (Advanced timing = detonation = worthless Si)
