HEY BENZY230
I am planning on a Nitrous install for my E55.
Wondering where you found the kit? How does the fuel enrichment work?
thanks
ps if you blew your engine with a 50-shot set up correctly with an a/f meter, it was not caused by the nitrous.

If you really want to know the A/F you need to put in a fuel management system.

ZEX 50 wet shot
I have done all I can on my 2002 2.0 M111 supercharged engine with the exception of a header. However after hanging out at a friend's tuning shop I suddenly became very interested in a ZEX 50 wet shot kit. This kit seems to have all control electronics in place as well as a lot of safety features. Has anyone had experience with a ZEX wet kit on a 4 cylinder forced induction car?

A phrase I remember well from the days of nitrous powered Saturn, "if you fly dry, soon you will die"... so many dry kits blew up plenty of motors.

For a wet kit, the stock injectors arent used for supplemental fuel as all the fueling required for the N2O comes from the stock fuel supply, but using its own injection nozzle. So, your stock injectors are not a limiting factor, but the stock fuel pump (and possibly feed line size) can be with the larger shots.

So have most every other setup Ive seen. aux injector was in the intake just above the TB.
The point I am trying to make is that on a wet kit if you spray too much you have to make sure the stock fuel pump can keep up. The supply at that fuel rail is not unlimited. Thus my post #32 above which has caused some confusion.
On a dry kit all the nitrous system is doing is bleeding some nitrous pressure to the FPR to trick it into raising fuel pressure. This type of arrangement is more limited (as you found out).
