So I recently picked up a Zex wet kit for a good price and a few components. I've researched numerous sites for tech articles on the install and it seems prety simple. However, I need the bottle filled and a dyno tune, so I called a local shop to see how much it would be to install the whole kit and not have to worry about it.

The guy picks up the phone and I tell him what I want. He asks me what components I have, and I tell him the Kit, purge, and remote bottle opener. He says hang on let me get these figures for you. A minute later he comes on the phone and says: $1100 for install, $150 for tune, and $250/hr for dyno!!! I about fell out of my chair...especially for a kit like Zex which is supposively fool-proof! Initially I thought to myself at those prices I would have bought a supercharger!!!

Needless to say I'm gonna tackle this one myself. Like I said before I have a few good articles on the install that I think can take me through it. With that being said, if anyone wants to chime in with any tips or hints by all means help me out, but I will be damned before I pay someone $1100 to put it in...

Is this a normal going price for a nitrous install?????

hell no

Ouch!!! Stay with a 75 shot and you shouldn't need a dyno tune with the Zex kit.

I didn't think so... Don't think I will be callin' that place for work. Anyone know the going rate to install the kit?

idk. maybe they thought you wanted to buy everything through them? I had a guy who said he would install one for me for $120 but honestly I would just do it myself.

Firstly, it's supposedly. Supposively is not a word.

Secondly, yes, that's a ridiculous price for the install.

First give it a try. The part that scared me off from buying was all the components added on(price) and all the wiring, which I can't wire. But $1100 for an install? I would have been laughing throughout that whole conversation. Are you planning an install soon?

Darkness7

Easy there killer...its not a grammar forum. I've seen where this goes before...

Anyways, back to the subject at hand- yea I was thinking that maybe he thougnt I meant the whole kit included too, but I repeated myself twice to him. I'm definitely gonna install it myself regardless, so I'm just looking for anyone that has done it that has a few pointers...

brad281- Yes, I was planning on maybe tackling it this weekend.

Good luck, let us know how it goes. I'm still sitting on the fence about the cash for the kit.[:@]
