Default IS THIS A GOOD DEAL!?!? zex dry nitrous kit

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/768491429.html


need to know if this is a good deal.

ive been doing my research on n2o, but i dont know much about the install, or the parts that you need for the FULL KIT


i called him, he said the only thing the kit doesent include is the line from the bottle to the controler (he said it would be $50 for the line) and it doesent have any jets. (he said the jets are only like $10)



IS THIS A GOOD DEAL?!?!?!


what is missing from this kit?

any idea where i can get the missing parts?



if its a good deal, ill be going to pick up the stuff today (could someone previde a checklist so i can make sure this kit has everything?)



if it matters he said he only used the bottle about 3times before he upped his jet, and blew his motor[>:]
(it was a 4cly eclipse he used it on, started with a 55shot, and when he upped it to 75, it blew the motor.)





im planing on a 100shot to start with, as far as i know all i need is to run premium fuel, take my timing back down to 10*, and maybe bump down the spark plugs (if im forgetting anything please let me know.)


it would be nice to get a deal on this, but i want to do it right, so i dont hurt anything.

bump!


as far as i know ill be safe with 100shot dry, as long as i take down the timing, and use top grade fuel, right?

i have 2 ppl telling me its too risky!?

im more scared of a wet kit pooling fuel in my intake, and backfiring, blowing the intake off or something crazy, then a 100 dry shot....


plus its like $150 to get the hoses and junk to swap form dry to a wet kit. if i choose to up the shot form 100.


idk, all the research ive done says a 100shot dry, should be fine!!!

well it will be fine as if everything is up to par...and for your motor i would not go past a 100 dry shot. if you do want to go bigger then i would switch to a wet shot.

nvm, found a 150shot wet kit that comes with bottle warmer, in-car pressure gauge, purge, and the entire set up needed for install for $450!!!

so im jumping on it, considering new its worth $1100+

to be 100% honest man, your one of the first guys i thought of, when i was thinking who i would try to "educate" on nitrous!

i think 90% of ppl are just dumb, and hard headed about nitrous.
