hey everyone, i am thinking of getting a zex dry kit for my B16 powered civic. the setup i was thinking of getting was the basic kit, purge kit, zex spark plugs. i was also looking at zex;s other prducts like their flywheels, valve springs and cams. my main question is, are they any good and worth the money. also is there a better product out there for the money.

I personally haven't used other ZEX products other then thier nitrioius system but thier cam for the SOHC is nice with nitirous from what I've heard, but I feel you're better off with other brands when it comes to things like springs and retainers. I think ZEX just wanted to cover a little more of the market by putting out other products. Now this isn't saying that it's inferior in any way.



wow... I just said a whole lot of nothing

For those that don't know, Zex products are made by Comp Cams...an extremely solid valvetrain company. They make good stuff.

Zex does have some good products, but I would still go with NGK plugs. I have heard mixed reviews about ZEX spark plugs, but nothing but great reviews about NGK.

I'm with andy on the plugs...I have used both the zex and the NGK...NGK hands down is a better plug.
