i dont see how it could be the kit?? Are you sure you ahve the jets in for a 50 shot?? and are you useing any fuel upgrades at all??

as long as you aint going overboard on the shot and have the fuel to match the n20 you wont be blowing motors, has nothing to do with the kit really. unless its not spraying any fuel.

yea i dont think you people understand that a nitrous kit isnt a magic spell that spits nitrous into your 'cold air intakes' its nothing but one or two solenoids, some -4 line, some wiring, a bottle and a jet/nozzle. theres an error somewhere in there. go find it.

How is it that 7 people with the same kit blew there motor??? The zex kit is alot easier than that.. All it has is the brain, a nitrous line and and some wiring to hook it up to your TPS, power, and ground... It is no that hard to hook it up.... It is just a faulty kit.....

u can't just say the kit is bad, bow can a kit be bad, am I missing something?? Did you guys check the jetting?? and did u do anything to your fuel?? were you guys redlining while spraying??

I mean the kit can't screw up and blow your motor unless this kit had bigger jetting and non of you guys checked it and were spraying alot more then u thought.

nitrous is a simple concept if you know about it, when you have nitrous u need fuel, and the kit sprays nitrous and fuel, so how can the kit be faulty??
please explain to me details about it being faulty not just "it blew everyones motor up"

can't just buy a kit and bolt it up with no knowledge of nitrous

define bad solenoids... if the wiring is done correctly, the solenoids should have no power until the window switch is closed. if the solenoids were electrically bad, they might cut in and out which might cause a lean condition, but really... what kind of idiot does not watch their shit when spraying enough gas into their motor to blow it? the solenoids could leak, but if you dont check for leaks when installing, you deserve to blow your motor. same goes for testing the condition of the solenoids. id rather do 20 quick tests and lose $20 worth of nitrous than replacing a motor because i didnt check everything. nitrous is not bad, kits are not bad. installers are bad. the wirers are bad. you always check your shit before you get all trigger happy with a nitrous kit. i guess some people just dont understand that...
