Strongly considering ZEX nitrous... RX engine questions...
Alright, I've been thinking about the ZEX kit for about 2 months now, and I'm not completely sold on it yet, but let's just say I'm considering it!
One of the requirements to install the ZEX kit is that your engine must have a "vaccum ported fuel pressure regulator..." Does our VVT-i engine have this?
My second question is not related to our engine, but rather to this somewhat insane performance mod I'm considering... Is nitrous street legal?
I'm really getting into making the RX FAST, and I think this ZEX kit seems like a safe, more cost effective, higher performance alternative to the WR ECU...
I know swing913 is going to be installing a ZEX kit into his RX too, as that's where I got the idea from... Just getting more and more serious about it with each passing day!

That's an excellent question... is it legal. That may depend on where you live. Here in Denver, it's readily available and I know a few people that race Fast & Furious style... (rural roads, 3am, etc).
We all know speeding and wreckless driving, as well as street competition are illegal. But I've never heard of anyone getting fined or ticketed just for having Nitrous.
Do what I do... call your local law enforcement people and ask them Or perhaps a shop that sells Nitrous could tell you what the laws are in your area.
Personally I wouldn't install NOS in an RX300... it's fast enough for me But I have a 998cc Honda CBR so if I want speed.. well....
