madwi Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well I have narrowed the kits down to either NX or Wizards of nitrous. I found their forum/website. I read a lot of info and now im looking for some independant un-biased reviews of people that have wizards installed on their rides. It will cost me more to go with the wizards setup as ill have to ship form the UK to the US, but if the solenoids are THAT much better ill end up ordering from them. So My actual question is If you own a Wizards of nitrous setup on your ride how do you like it? If you could change anything would you? If money was no object (haha yeah i do have a budget ) what would you go with and why? Just from the little research i did on their forum it goes on and on how they are the safest, best (obviously they arent going to say yeah, we suck). I did read how NX copied their solenoids. Also how they offer up a challenge to any other nitrous company and the NY-Trex stepped up and got smacked down like a little ho. This is getting a little long winded lol. I guess its a big deal to me to have the best kit out there. All the "look i blew my motor using nitrous" threads/vids is just playing on my emotions of whom to go with lol. Thanks in advance and I appreciate everyones time. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Wizards of NOS do have a pretty good reputation, and have been used on a couple of the car shows over here for TV. I looked into it a few years ago and decided they would be the way I would go if I were going to do it. It turned out I couldn't on the car I had. So although I haven't had it on a car, I would have gone with the Wizards of NOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwi Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 T-minus a few days till I order! any comments? Hope you all have a great holiday season! Cheers! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Not many on here have got NOS so you won't get too much feedback I'm afraid. Zedrush had it on his old car. Have you this this thread here "NOS"? It pretty much covers everything. All I'd say is get the best of everything and get it fitted by someone with experience. Can be safe but only if done right, and spending more now is better than blowing your engine. Keep us posted mate with as much pics as possible as it could help anyone else who wants to go NOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwi Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yea i have done searches for NOS nitrous n20 and read all of em I was hoping there may be a lurker or two with the system. Good news is that WON said they are going to be posting a few pics of a 350Z they just finished on so that should be a big help with info. I need the dollar to get stronger for when i purchase lol i was a bit when i looked up the exchange rate lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyB Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I've had an NX setup fitted to a previous car and it was great till the nitrous solenoid went down (better that than the fuel!!!!) it was a well made piece of kit all hoses are braided unlike the wizards which look cheap an plastic. also the bottle looks much better an more professional IMO. Don't know what extas are availible for the wizad kits, but NX has a MASSIVE range. including safety switches that cut off the system if it runs too lean (which I would advise as thats when things go bang) Having said all that, if an when come to fit another kit I'll be going for the ZEX wet system. It's only a restricted kit, I think only options are 35, 50, an 75bhp, and the purple bottle looks a little camp, but eveything looks good quality well made solenoids, braided hoses, nice machined valves etc. It's the easiest system to set up I've come accross, and it has a "smart" box that controls both the fuel an nitrous, so they're in the correct proportions, . Very safe AND they're cheap esp if you order from the states... or were untill the pound fell on it's arse lol. Hope this helps Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwi Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 ...I've had an NX setup fitted to a previous car and it was great till the nitrous solenoid went down... Hope this helps Mark Well I ordered the WON system today minus bottle (save on shipping) so we will see how this adventure goes. I chose the WON based on comparing solenoids solely. I like the fact that they are CNC machined. Being a CNC machinist myself, the decision was a no brainer lol. After searching for threads/info about solenoids failing, the WON solenoids came out on top of the pack. The plastic hose doesnt bother me at all. It may look cheaper but plastics today are not something to be sneared at in my opinion. Plus I am covering all the visible lines under the hood with wire looms anyways so i wont even see it. Hopefully I will have a post up soon titled "oh sh!t this thing is fast" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 What shot are you planing out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hey Guys, I have a Wizard of Nos kit on my Zed. I am running a 50 shot fixed hit with an 11lb bottle. You definately picked the correct kit, and I have no connection to WON dispite my I.D. Be careful with the power though, I wouldn't go above a 50shot without a controller... The only thing you'll find with the kit is the bloody bottle runs out way to quickly and getting it refilled and refitted can be an annoying task, which is why I'm going FI soon...

madwi Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hopefully with the release of the Uprev/osiris ecu tuning I can safely run a 150 shot with the max extreme controler. That is the long term goal for now. But for starters I plan on getting it all hooked up on the 50 jets. I have 50/75/100 jets coming in the mail. So I guess I will have to see how big of a smile the 50 and 75 jets give me at first and go from there. Id love to go FI but i aint that big of a baller, especially in this economy.

wizard Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Can you enlighten me on this ECU tuning? Is it through a piggyback or standalone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 http://uprev.com/ There a few posts under the HR section of my350z. about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I enquired about the uprev/osiris reflash software...apparently they dont have a working program for EU ecu's. It was good value for money with Zero downtime. Got to wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 150 shot on stock internals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwi Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 150 is the most ive read about people using on stock internals. I myself have the long term goal of 150 but im not brave enough to try it without beefing up some bottom end. I dont want to end up like this...i think i read somewhere it was a 200 shot, but dont quote me on that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5pYAMhs ... =1&index=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Have you got this kit fitted yet? Pics and feedback would be appreciated when its on as its something I have recently started looking into! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee22 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Why the two sets of solenoids? Perhaps I don't understand enough about this but I thought you'd only need a single pair for single point injection, if not, where are you positioning the crossfires?

Cragus Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Paul has recently fitted NOS. A 75 shot i believe. Not sure what brand he has used but he may have some useful insight if you pm him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
