Re: Power mods of 99-02 5.3 V8
Stg.1 EFI system for GM vehicles(nitrous express). 100 shot. It is a wet
system(don't get a dry system) that is adjustable from 50-150hp to the rear wheels. very simple to install. its pretty straigth forward. i installed a ZEX direct port injection for my buddies 2005 Honda S2000 and I can honestly say I never want to do it again. I would suggest you not activate the system for any longer than 15sec. at a time. If you have the system activated for too long at any one time you will melt the magnets on the solenoids. If that happens, the entire solenoid has to be replaced. You can run the nitrous as much as you want till your bottles dry(take this with a grain of salt, please!) as long as bottle pressure is maintained and you keep your runs under 15 seconds(i keep it under 10) then you won't have any problems. be sure to pick up the Iceman Pure-Flo nitrous solenoid(has purge built in) and replace the solenoid they give you with this one. it will clear your lines of all fluids(the nitrous will liquify when not under pressure and it will give you better performance). also, since your in alaska, i'd HIGHLY suggest getting a bottle heater to keep bottle pressure at 900-1050psi BEFORE it hits the solenoid. Try to keep yoru tanks(yes i 5lb tanks, one where the stock subwoofer was and the other on the other side, I'm very lazy and don't feel like removing them and refilling them all the time) at least a quarter full. you should pick up a Gen-x kit as well(so you don't "accidentally get high" off of medical grade nitrous oxide...on a side note. there is no difference in medical grade or the other stuff u get at gas refil stations. Just that non medical grade has a different element(can't remember what its called) that gives you SEVERE headaches when 'accidentally' inhaled. all you need is at least premium pump gas, colder plugs and upgraded ignition(i still need to upgrade the ignition). th ignition isn't a must, but would help. as far as activation of the system is concerned, you can go 3 ways. wide open throttle switch, electronic and push button. choose according to your driving style! for instance,I use a push button because my driving style is...well to piss off any many people as i can(i'm always at WOT). i stomp on the gas with the nitrous from stop light to stop light and sometimes flying down the freeway in the middle of the night. you can configure your set up all you want, even have the ability to change the amount of shots for every activation while you drive.
i will be moving up to alaska soon(hopefully), within the next 3 months or so. If you want I can help you install it.
