Man you are crazy!!!! I would not use Nos on stock CA20e, and for losing to Honda I'v betten 2, 1 with auto (86'accord) and 1 manual (89'Civic) both had mods and I'v got a stock Gazelle apart from the 2.5 inch menderal bent sports exhaust and excators, try using a higher octan fuel.

I don't know, I don't see how a 50-75 shot would hurt anything...

take your losses to the honda. i wouldnt risk blowing up a good engine for that. thats just my thoughts though.

if used properly, Nitrous can be very helpful to your engine. I say properly, cause those ppl shooting 150+ shots are crazy.

Anything under 75 would be good, and yes, get a wet system.

Ditto....

<------Does custom nitrous setups for a lot of the guys around here....but I dont think a 75 shot is wise unless you have a fuel pump to keep up with it.....The stocker isnt enough.......Try a 35 shot first, then a 50 shot....If you get the NX wet kit you are looking at 600 bux and jets from 35-100 shot if im not mistaken (dont quote me its been a while since ive hooked up an NX kit.....)

get a zex kit they only put on the juice when you have enough fuel very safe just start out with a 25 hp jet and work your way up till you feel safe

Does Zex have a wet kit for sale now? If not I strongly suggest staying away from dry kits.....

i've put a zex kit i used to have on several cars (many with high mileage) with no ill effects most nitrous problems are due to people trying to add too much. i even sprayed a 50 shot on a 300,000 mile 4age with smoking rings and it held it

have you guys ever seen those generic like 30 shot systems on ebay that are like 40 bucks? Do you think it would be ok to start with somthin like that just to try it?

BAHAHAHA those ebay things are funny, you could get that $40 dollar nitrous kit and a electri supercharger or a tornado.......LOL go with the ZEX 55 shot, and yes they come in wet or dry or direct port wet/dry

project200sxdate not saved · #15

yeah whats up with those stupid electric superchargers!?!?! i don't even think one would spin fast enough at full throttle and would actually create a restriction in the intake....
