EFI TRUCK NITROUS SYSTEM
Part #82047
ZEX™ introduces the first nitrous system specially engineered for the
performance and safety needs of hot rod, off-road and late model truck
owners. When designing their new truck nitrous system, ZEX™ engineers
looked at truck configurations, which feature larger engine bays and
different cab locations than cars. Taking into consideration the
unique needs of truck performance enthusiasts, ZEX™ designers
created the safest, cleanest and easiest to install nitrous system
you can buy.
The ZEX™ Truck Nitrous System comes complete with everything you need and requires only two hours to install; a simple plug and play procedure for
4, 6, or 8 cylinder EFI engines. The ideal nitrous system for any fuel injected truck, the ZEX™ Truck Nitrous System features
Active Fuel Control™ technology, which monitors nitrous bottle pressure and then adjusts fuel enrichment for the perfect mixture. ZEX™ systems activate electronically at wide-open throttle, using your engine’s TPS sensor - it’s almost like traction control for your truck - achieving perfect nitrous engagement, especially on newer throttle by wire trucks.

RACE EFI NITROUS SYSTEM
Part #82037
Patented nozzle technology provides better
atomization for maximum horsepower!
The Race EFI Nitrous System incorporates several nitrous technology
breakthroughs, making it the perfect choice for serious race applications. One such patent-worthy advancement is ZEX™’s Fuel Shear™
technology, which injects the enrichment fuel directly into the center of
the nitrous plume, yielding total and even fuel atomization. As
with every ZEX™ nitrous system, the new Race EFI System
includes the tuning and safety feature that has revolutionized
the nitrous industry - Active Fuel Control™. Fuel enrichment
is automatically adjusted in accordance with bottle pressure, so tune-ups stay dead-on despite bottle pressure fluctuation. In addition, the Race EFI Nitrous System also utilizes
a patented electronic TPS switch for perfect system activation at wide-open throttle. Tunable from 100 to 250 horsepower, the new ZEX™ Race EFI Nitrous System is compatible with any fuel injected engine.

WET NOZZLE TECHNOLOGY
ost nozzle designs are all
alike. Other manufacturers
may change a hole location here
or a tip angle there, but in reality,
there really hasn’t been a breakthrough in nozzle technology in
the past 20 years…..until now.
The most important function of a
nozzle is to properly mix and
atomize the correct amounts of
nitrous and fuel. Current designs
FRONT VIEW
spray a solid stream of fuel at the
nitrous stream and hope that it will atomize properly.
Other designs are forced to be run excessively rich, so
when nitrous bottle pressure and flow go up, their systems won’t run dangerously lean. ZEX™ has developed
two new nozzle technologies that not only give our design
the ability to atomize the fuel to levels never achieved
before, but also adjust fuel delivery on its own. The result
is a nozzle that atomizes fuel and nitrous better than any
previous design and provides the optimized tune-up at all
bottle pressures. These groundbreaking technologies give
you a significant Power Advantage over conventional nozzles.

Power Advantage #1
Fuel Shear™ Technology
ZEX™’s Fuel Shear™ tech- FUEL
TRANSFER
nology injects enrichment
TUBE
fuel using a fuel transfer
tube. This tube allows the
ZEX™ nozzle to directly
inject fuel into the highest
velocity area of the nitrous
plume. This high-speed
nitrous gas shears the fuel
away from the tube, atomizing it to levels other nozzle
designs have never
SIDE VIEW
achieved. This high level of
atomization ensures perfect fuel distribution from cylinder
to cylinder; ensuring one cylinder is not dangerously rich
or lean, like competitor’s nozzles. The finely atomized
mixture the ZEX™ nozzle achieves also burns more powerfully and maximizes the horsepower you get from your
nitrous system.
#82025
Power Advantage #2
Active Fuel Control™
Technology
Active Fuel Control™ is the tuning and safety feature
that has revolutionized the
NITROUS
nitrous industry. A vacOUTLET
uum is created as
nitrous gas is
sprayed across the
open end of the fuel
transfer tube. As
bottle pressure rises
or lowers due to
bottle temperature changes, the
speed of the
nitrous discharge
varies to the same
degree. This causes
the level of vacuum
TOP VIEW
draw in the fuel transfer
tube to vary as well. This variable vacuum draw
causes the ZEX™ nozzle to actually “pull” more or
less enrichment fuel into the engine. This means
your engine never runs dangerously lean or overly
rich. The nitrous tune-up stays dead-on for maximum engine safety and power at all times.
Get the ultimate technology: Whether you’re looking
to purchase a complete nitrous system or just want
to swap out your old-tech nozzles for ZEX™’s latest,
groundbreaking technology, ZEX™ has you covered.

EFI DRY NITROUS SYSTEMS
ZEX™ Dry Nitrous Systems use our patented Active Fuel Control™ technology to monitor the
nitrous bottle pressure. The system then adjusts fuel enrichment to achieve the
perfect mixture. This ensures your engine will never run too rich or too lean
when you engage the nitrous system. ZEX™ nitrous activates at wide-open throttle using an electronic sensor that monitors your engine’s TPS sensor. This design
ensures that your nitrous is engaged at the perfect wide-open throttle point, every time.
The design of the ZEX™ Nitrous System makes it a simple and easy, 2 hour
installation.
• A complete "Dry" nitrous system. Everything is included for a safe,
proper installation.
• Designed to work safely on both stock and high-performance,
normally aspirated engines. The ideal nitrous system for many
fuel injected performance vehicles.
• All major components are factory pre-assembled inside the "Nitrous
Management Unit". Easy, plug and play, two-hour installation.
• ZEX ™ Nitrous Systems have an advanced, patented feature called Active Fuel Control ™ . This
feature monitors nitrous bottle pressure and adds or subtracts enrichment fuel. The engine
never runs too rich or too lean when engaging the nitrous system.
• ZEX ™ "Dry" nitrous systems activate at wide-open throttle, using advanced electronics
that monitor your engine’s throttle position sensor. This makes using your nitrous system
very easy and reliable .

ZEX™ DIESEL NITROUS SYSTEMS
Part #82028
Reduced turbo lag and improved throttle response with cooler exhaust temperatures!
Performance enthusiasts know the potential of nitrous oxide injection systems to generate big horsepower
gains. For diesel engines, the installation of a ZEX™ Diesel Nitrous System adds great power with no
additional tuning, but offers huge power gains when used in tandem with power programmers that add
additional fuel. By more thoroughly burning the increased volume of diesel fuel entering the
engine, the ZEX™ Diesel Nitrous System increases power, reduces exhaust gas temperatures, and gets rid of excessive exhaust smoke.
35-200HP
The ZEX™ Diesel Nitrous System improves wide-open throttle response, reduces
turbo lag, and greatly cools the inlet air temperature for maximum air density and
power. Nitrous oxide gas provides the extra oxygen you need to safely burn more fuel
when tuning with your diesel engine programmer.
The ZEX™ Diesel Nitrous System is a complete kit that includes everything
you need for an easy, plug and play installation. The ZEX™ Diesel Nitrous
System includes a 10 lb. nitrous bottle, brackets, electronic throttle activation switch, as well as all the plumbing and electrical connectors.

The ZEX™ Ejector Air Amplifier (patent pending) is the
first air induction system to harness the kinetic energy
of compressed nitrous oxide. It easily installs in place
of your standard cone air filter and connects to any
manufacturer’s dry nitrous system. As the high-speed
nitrous gas exits the nozzle in the end of the filter, the
stream "captures" the surrounding air and induces a
significant increase in airflow. Tests show increases of
50 cfm with just a 75 hp shot of nitrous. The other
great benefit of the "Ejector" is that it greatly simplifies
a dry nitrous kit installation. You don’t have to drill and
tap your intake tube for a standard nozzle, simply slide
the ZEX™ Ejector Air Amplifier in place of your standard cone filter and you’re ready to spray. The
"Ejector" design has been incorporated into a racequality air filter that is both washable and reusable, for
years of superior performance.

Part #82048P (polished bottle)
Revolutionary Perimeter Injection™ technology provides optimum nitrous and fuel atomization
for maximum horsepower!
For years, nitrous systems have been just a plate bolted under the carburetor, equipped with two crude brass spray bars to
inject nitrous and fuel into the intake charge. Nitrous technology has now taken a huge leap forward! The ZEX™ Perimeter
Plate Nitrous System is a complete kit that provides optimum spray efficiency with nitrous and fuel outlets placed at 12
injection points around the perimeter of the intake manifold opening. This new technology provides optimum distribution of
nitrous oxide and fuel and delivers the most horsepower possible from your kit. Through an ingenious new cooling technology called Cryo-Sync™, super chilled nitrous is injected through the ZEX™ plate before being injected into the engine.
This technology rapidly cools the carburetor and intake manifold, while you spray, for even greater power. A final design
breakthrough is Airflow Enhancement™Technology. Due to the spray pattern that is achieved by the Perimeter Plate, an
intense low pressure area is created below the carburetor while you spray. This draws additional air and fuel into the
engine for even more power.
• A complete plate nitrous system engineered for single and dual plane 4-barrel manifolds, both square flange and
Dominator style. Everything is provided for an easy install, even the wire ties!
• Perimeter Injection™ Technology injects at 12 points surrounding the intake manifold plenum. Eliminates 30 year-old
technology spray bars and optimizes distribution of fuel and nitrous into the engine.
• Cryo-Sync™ Technology flows super-chilled nitrous through the entire plate, before being sprayed into the engine.
Creates a cooling “deep freeze” effect on the carburetor and intake manifold for additional power.
• Airflow Enhancement™ Technology creates an intense low pressure area under the carburetor as the nitrous sprays. This
helps the engine to pull in more air and fuel for additional power.

PERIMETER PLATE TECH
ypical spray-bar nitrous plates
are built on obsolete 30-year-old
technology. Not surprisingly, these
plates suffer from design compromises that can result in less-than-optimal
performance and reliability. For example, because of their inherent inefficiency, traditional plate systems are
usually calibrated to create an overly
rich fuel mixture in some cylinders
simply to prevent a lean condition in
others. ZEX™’s new Perimeter
Injection™ Technology uses incredibly
precise metering and distribution to
eliminate this imbalance. It’s a whole
new way of thinking about plate systems! The engineering process that
yielded these advances took over two
years to complete and resulted in
three totally new nitrous technologies,
each of which gives you a significant
power advantage over conventional
plate systems.

POWER ADVANTAGE #2
Cryo-Sync™ Technology:
NITROUS &
FUEL PLUME
The ZEX™ Perimeter Injection™ Plate
routes the nitrous through a set of
internal passages before spraying it
into your engine. During this circulation process, the nitrous temperature
drops to -127 degrees below zero!
This cryogenic phenomenon effectively
turns the plate into an ultra-efficient
Cryo-Sync™, cooling your carburetor
and intake manifold for additional
power.
POWER ADVANTAGE #1
Perimeter Injection™ Technology:
Unlike traditional nitrous kits, the ZEX™
Perimeter Plate employs multiple
injection points to create a perfectly
atomized blend of fuel and nitrous.
This mixture is then fired directly into
the center of your intake plenum,
ensuring equal dispersal between
cylinders. By optimizing cylinder-tocylinder distribution, ZEX™ Perimeter
Injection™ Technology generates maximum power without sacrificing engine
safety.

POWER ADVANTAGE #3
Airflow Enhancement Technology:
The ZEX™ Perimeter Plate has been
designed to inject the nitrous at an
optimized angle, toward the center of
the intake plenum. In addition to
ensuring proper cylinder distribution,
this ZEX™-developed technology creates a pocket of intense low pressure
just below the carburetor while the
nitrous is being sprayed. This lowpressure area substantially increases
airflow into your engine, further
improving power.

ZEX™ V8 SPARK PLUGS
Better than Platinum and Iridium!
When you add performance modifications like a high-flow air filter, headers, performance exhaust, nitrous, or a
supercharger, your engine requires stronger spark if you want to maximize the horsepower you expect from
these modifications.
If you’re serious about performance, ZEX™ created a high-performance spark plug for you that generates
more power-producing spark energy than any other plug on the market. Using the latest in ignition science,
ZEX™ developed two totally new spark technologies to ensure you’re getting all the horsepower you paid for.

You’ve heard the hype about platinum and iridium,
and while these materials offer 100,000 mile durability, there is a performance trade-off. While you
gain durability, at the same time you lose spark
energy and heat transfer due to their high electrical
and thermal resistance. The more spark energy
you have, the more power your engine can make.
Likewise, the faster the plug can transfer heat,
the better it can resist engine damaging detonation; that pinging sound you sometimes hear
when your engine is under load. Since spark
energy and heat transfer are two critical things
you must have to make peak horsepower, is the
trade-off you get with platinum or iridium worth
it? Do you really need to get 100,000 miles out
of a set of spark plugs? There is a better material choice, with far superior electrical and thermal
properties than platinum or iridium. Copper conducts electricity and heat over 5 times better than
platinum and almost 3 times better than iridium,
but alone, it would not last long in a running
engine. ZEX™ solved this challenge with Igniter
Core™ technology. Igniter Core™ puts a pure
copper core inside a durable nickel shell. The
result is a spark plug design that generates
more horsepower-producing spark energy
than platinum or iridium can deliver and dissipates heat more efficiently, helping to eliminate detonation.
Ordinary spark plugs rely on a very hot heat range to keep them from fouling. Heat range is the engineering term that describes the temperature at which the plug operates, and fouling is the inability of
the spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture due to excessive build-up of carbon deposits. A hot heat
range plug will tend to burn off the carbon deposits, but can cause overheating and detonation in a
modified engine. Slightly cooler plugs are best for making maximum power but can foul out in everyday
street driving. ZEX™ innovated Clean Fire™ technology to bridge the gap. Clean Fire™ technology
enables you to use a plug with an optimized heat range for horsepower but
also one that gives foul free ignition by using three additional, side-gapped,
Nickel Shell
ground straps. The spark from these additional ground straps burns away carbon deposits and super cleans the center electrode, helping to release all available spark energy. Clean Fire™ technology gives you the best of both worlds: Clean Fire™
maximum horsepower and reliable ignition.
Groundstrap
If you are serious about making horsepower and want performance without
compromise, it’s obvious ZEX™ should be your choice. Two different plugs
have been developed with optimized heat ranges for your specific modifications and power levels. For engines with bolt-on performance parts and computer tuning, up to 400hp, our Power Tune™ plug is ideal for you. If you have
an engine with a nitrous system, blower, or turbo, our Power Racer™ plug will
maximize performance in engines up to 700hp.

ZEX™ 4 CYL. & 6 CYL.
NITROUS & TURBO PLUGS
ZEX™ engineers realized early on that factory style spark plug designs are very prone to detonation in nitrous and forced induction engines. Factory style spark plugs tend to have a high heat
range and a long ground strap. This is fine for stock combustion pressures and temperatures, but
it is very dangerous in a nitrous or forced induction performance engine. Under nitrous use or
boost, factory style spark plugs tend to overheat in just a few seconds. This overheating causes
the spark plug ground strap and center electrode to turn into a "glow plug". This condition causes air and fuel in the combustion chamber to pre-ignite and detonate, causing engine damage.
ZEX™ is the only nitrous system manufacturer with specific spark plugs manufactured for the
unique requirements that nitrous and forced induction engines have. ZEX™ Hyperformance™
Spark Plugs have an optimal heat range and ground strap design that maximizes the safety and
performance of your nitrous or forced induction engine.

Common Questions & Answers
Q: How does nitrous work?
A: Nitrous oxide is a gas that contains two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen. When the combustion process heats this gas, the oxygen is released. This extra oxygen then supports the combustion of the enrichment fuel the nitrous system adds when it is engaged.
The additional fuel that is burned, creates greater cylinder pressure, which makes the extra horsepower you feel.
Q: How much will a nitrous system improve my performance?
A: 1-2 second improvements in quarter mile times are typical. Traction limitations greatly affect the improvement seen.
Q: How long does it take to install a ZEX™ nitrous system?
A: Our single nozzle EFI systems typically take just 2 hours to install. Our plate and direct port systems generally take 3-6 hours.
Q: What is the difference between a "wet" nitrous kit and a "dry" nitrous kit?
A: A wet nitrous kit mixes nitrous and enrichment fuel by means of an injector nozzle that is mounted before the throttle body. This
mixture is then drawn into the engine through the throttle body and intake manifold. A "dry" nitrous kit injects only nitrous
with it’s injector while at the same time, increasing the engine’s fuel rail pressure to feed enrichment fuel through the engine’s own
injectors.
Q: What is better, a "wet" or "dry" kit?
A: It all depends on the application. A "wet" kit is ideal for both normally aspirated applications as well as forced induction applications.
It can require a little bit more installation time than a "dry" kit, but is easier to tune if greater than stock HP settings are to be
experimented with. A "dry" kit is excellent for normally aspirated combinations that have a return style fuel system. They
are very easy to install and are a great "first time" nitrous system. It is not recommended that "dry" systems be used on forced
induction engines.
Q: Will nitrous affect engine reliability?
A: As long as the nitrous system is installed per the instructions and the set-up procedures are followed, there is usually not any
increase in engine wear.
Q: What does it mean to have a 55, 75, or 125 "shot" of nitrous?
A: "Shot" is a slang term for the horsepower setting your nitrous kit is set to.
Q: How long does a bottle last?
A: It depends on bottle capacity and the size of the nitrous shot being used. On the 75hp setting, a 10 lb. bottle will last around 10
quarter mile runs. On the 125hp setting the bottle will last around 6 runs.
Q: What type of fuel is recommended when I use my nitrous system?
A: For 4-6 cylinder engines, premium pump gas is required for safe use of your nitrous system when jetted up to 75hp. Above 75hp,
racing fuel is recommended for maximum engine safety. For 8 cylinder engines, premium pump gas is adequate for nitrous system
settings up to 125hp. Above 125hp, racing fuel is recommended.
Q: How long can I spray the nitrous system for?
A: You could spray your nitrous system until the bottle is empty, but the practical limit is usually around 15-20 seconds of continuous
use.
Q: Do I need to change my fuel pump when adding a nitrous system?
A: If you have basic bolt-ons (performance filter, headers, exhaust, etc.), your stock fuel system should be adequate to support the
stock settings your nitrous kit comes with. If major modifications have been done to your engine (heads, cam, turbo, supercharger,
etc.) you must upgrade your fuel system. For fuel injected applications, with return style fuel systems, ZEX™ offers an excellent
inline "booster" fuel pump (part #82020).
Q: What is the optimum bottle pressure to run my nitrous system at?
A: The optimum nitrous bottle pressure is 900-1000 psi. ZEX™ offers a bottle pressure gauge (part #82005) that makes it easy to
monitor this.
29
Q: Do I need a bottle heater?
A: A nitrous bottle heater makes it easy to automatically maintain the optimum bottle pressure of 900-1000 psi. This ensures
maximum hp and consistency for your nitrous system. ZEX™ has a very easy to install bottle heater (part #82006) that is
thermostatically controlled and totally automatic.
Q: Do I have to change my spark plugs after installing the nitrous system?
A: YES, due to the increase in horsepower the nitrous system creates, the quantity of heat generated in the combustion chamber
goes up. It is required that you install spark plugs that have at least two steps colder heat range. This helps to ensure detonation
free performance when using the nitrous system. ZEX™ has nitrous specific spark plugs available for many makes and models of
vehicles.
Q: Is it OK to use a nitrous system on a high mileage engine?
A: It is OK only if the engine is in good mechanical condition. The primary concern is to ensure that the engine does not consume
excessive oil. Oil in the combustion chamber can cause detonation.
Q: Can I have a performance "chip" in my ECU while using my nitrous system?
A: Generally the answer is NO. Most performance "chips" on the market advance ignition timing to gain additional horsepower. This
additional timing, when using nitrous, can cause engine damaging detonation. The only exception to this are "chips" that have
been specifically programmed for nitrous use.
Q: Is nitrous oxide flammable?
A: No, nitrous oxide is not flammable. It is simply an oxidizer that supports the combustion of additional fuel.
Q: What is the safest way to activate a nitrous system?
A: The safest way to activate a nitrous system is by using a wide-open throttle switch. All ZEX™ nitrous systems utilize this type of
activation. Activating a nitrous system at anything less than wide-open throttle can greatly increase your chances for an
intake system backfire. If you desire to use a push button (part #NS 6534) for activation, ZEX™ offers this as an accessory item.
You can simply install the push button inline with the wide-open throttle switch.
Q: What is the minimum RPM I need before activating my nitrous system?
A: We recommend at least 2500rpm as a minimum for nitrous system activation. This ensures that you will not have excessive
cylinder pressures that could cause engine damage.
Q: Do I need a purge kit?
A: A nitrous purge kit clears the delivery lines of unwanted air and vapor and guarantees immediate power from your nitrous system.
It’s also used to intimidate your competition and shows the world your nitrous equipped. The ZEX™ purge kit (part #82010) uses
the industry’s largest solenoid, creating an awesome purge cloud.
Q: Is there a way to turn my nitrous bottle on and off without having to open the trunk?
A: Yes, ZEX™ offers a Remote Bottle Valve Opener (part #82009) that allows you to open and close your nitrous bottle from the
convenience of your driver’s seat.
Q: How do I know how full my bottle is?
A: The only accurate way to measure how full a nitrous bottle is, is to weigh the bottle. Nitrous systems achieve maximum power
when the nitrous bottle is at least 20%, or greater, full. Below 20%, surging and lack of power occurs.
