Default Nitrous question in 2002 civic si?

Is it safe to run a dry zex 55 shot of nitrous on a k20a3 without any fuel additives?

Not really.

Whenever you add more oxygen (which is what you do with NOS + cooling the charge) then you need to have the ability to add more fuel too. That means you either need a wet kit, or you need K-Pro which has the ability to add extra fuel with the NOS.

Would a Venom dry kit work?

Venom has a dry kit for our car, but they are the ONLY company that does. The Si has a returnless fuel system thus, no dry shot. Wet shot only (unless you have Hondata or something like that). Do a search, I'm sure there's more info out there.

Just get the wet shot, no need to upgrade if you want a bigger jet size for higher shot. But using cold plugs is a must.
And above posters:It's nitrous not NOS --- NOS is a brand, it does not mean nitrous oxide.

And it's a "photocopy" not a "Xerox"

a "cotton swab" not a "Q-tip"

a "portable tape player" not a "walkman"

a "carbonated cola soda pop" not a "coke"

LOL.

Yeah, forgot about the plugs. Just go to autozone and ask for the RSX-S plugs. They are one step colder.
