Here is a few pic's of my dry nitrous kit installed. I recently converted it to a custome zex wet wet. Here's the fpr I had to tapped into it for a vac source for the dry kit. This allow the zex unit to boost fuel psi while your spraying. Here is a over all shot of the engine bay and the bottle mounted in the trunk

Pic's of the dry to wet convertion. I had to take apart the zex box and remove the nitrous soleniod and a few other parts. Then I bought a fuel soleniod and a few other things and went to town. Oh and I did not reuse the zex tps switch since my FJO mini controller already has one built in

Here's where I located the switch for the Drop Mod right now it's not hooked up to anythng since the 5-speed swap but I'll find something to hook up to it. My switch's to engage the nitrous and bottle warmer. It's looks pretty much factory and out of the way this way so nobody will even notice from looking outside the car

Pic of the MSD rpm switch in the center console armrest. Right now it is setup to control my varible intake manifold. I have it set to turn on at 5000rpms

Few pic's of my mevi intake install. I had to have it machined since a few of the bolt holes were F'd up when I got it but it was free so who cares. This swap took about 6-8hours since I did a few other thing while everything was apart. This mods really does not make more power it just extends the power band till 6500rpm's were as with the stock intake maifold power nose dives after 5500rpms at the dyno there was about a 30hp difference at 6500rpms with the new intake

Pic of my adjustable fuel psi regulator and vac/boost and fuel psi gauge.  Ok update 9/2008 in a effort to make the car look as clean and stock a possible I removed the gauge pod and custom mounted the gauges.  Here is where I put the vac/boost gauge below

My most recent project was a auto to 5-speed swap, while testing out a 100shot this spring I broke my torque convertor. So I drove up to Middleboro, Mass and Kevin(aka KRRZ350) converted my car to a stick in 2 days. While I was there I did manage to do alittle site seeing while I was there and will post some of my corny pic's soon

This is the clutch (RPS Maxi Series with pressure plate)

Few pic's of the ride during the install. Also I swap out my rear seats for some I30 rears seats with the headrests

Thanks. I cant post threads on the org yet because I'm a newbie, But I actually finished it today and drove it. Everything was actually perfect. It's set at 10 pounds and it is just ridiculous. I had so much fun driving it today that I stayed out till 11:30 just driving around punching it on every straight away. The sound and raw acceleration are indescribable. I plan to make a video so people can see what I'm talking about.
