hey, im thinking about switching my zex box over to solenoids. what do you think, is this a good idea? i mainly want the engine bay to look cleaner w/ out the box and i heard that they can freeze up or something. i would prob just buy some solenoids off ebay and run them in place of the box. how hard is it to spay using a button on a 6-speed car? right now it is set up on the WOT swich and i really like it. can i set the solenoids on a WOT switch too?
thanks

I switched my zex box to the HSW Sudden Impact conversion kit. For activation I use the HSW Microedge controller. It uses your TPS for activation just like your Zex.

the key on a 6speed car is to have a WOT switch and window switch. You want it to spray only at WOT and a range of RPM's. Say 3k-6k rpm that way if you miss a shift or over rev the motor your not spraying the nitrous and running the risk of blowing the motor.

Yes you can switch out the zex box. I haven't heard of them freezing or anything like that. Make sure you run a relay with the solenoids you purchase off ebay. Its easy to wire up and you can grab a diagram off our instructions page. I would suggest taking it off of a push button and run a WOT/TPS switch in conjunction with a window switch. You don't want to accidentally activate it outside your RPM window. Take a look at the microEDGE to handle these duties.
Let me give you some honest advice from someone who has built nitrous kits and been in this situation before. By the time you piece everything together, you wind up spending the same amount of money that you would if you just bout another kit without the bottle. Plus you get brand new parts that won't fail (this is critical especially for solenoids).
My recommendation would be to just go ahead and buy the Harris plate kit. I got one cheap with their last sale, and there is a reason so many people on here talk them up; because they work! In regards to activating the kit, the Microedge is awesome. I can't stress how good this thing works, money well spent! even if you don't get the Harris kit, I would still buy the Microedge.

HSW has noids for $85 plus shipping on ebay. I bought them and LOVE them! They have a purge outlet right at the noid so you have a full line purge if you choose! The brand X also look good but saving $20 and getting as good or better of a product was why I went HSW!
how are you spraying (WOT switch, button, etc)
