I have a DA9 (160k miles) with I/H/E. Planning on borrowing my friends nitrous kit for a week. What are the odds of blowing my engine? TIA

 

160K miles?? If its never been rebuilt, plan on doing it soon esp. w/naws

 

i had a zex kit on a dx motor that had 70,000 miles on it. ran fine. although the stock clutch couldnt reallt handle it.

 

Only as safe as the install, user and build of the motor.

nitrous can be safe if u dont over do it..such as trying to top your car out with a 100 shot.. thats just stupid

 

I had a B16 motor (stock block) I made about a hundred passes at the track on the motor and about a million on the street. Then i put a direct 120ish shot on it. It lasted about 20 bottles till i broke the ring Land's out of all 4 pistons . Blew up in 3rd gear and i stayed in it and it still ran 12.16@113 . Drove home smoking like a ****. I put my kit on a friends drag car(1800lbs1.8LEG) and it went 10.95@123 on the second pass.

Nos is definitely not the safest way to get horse power. But it is the cheapest.

If you want to be safe just squeeze in a couple gears and check your plugs

IMO I wouldn't use anything but direct port. If you guys need any help on DP jetting IM me

Good luck

only as safe as the tune and user... I agree with above generally.

n20 can be safe and fairly reliable.
