Default New to Nos!

I want to spray on my 95 GSR with i/h/e. However I am relatively unfamiliar with what all i would need to run NOS on my car properly and safely, anyone with any recommendations on a set-up and proper usage and tuning please respond I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks,

NOS makes a pretty good kit and its got some decent instructions.. your on the right track going with them instead of one of the other Nitrous kit companies.

Nitrous Express (NX) makes good kits. I have a very knowledgable friend with a Camaro SS that was running a NOS dry 100-shot, and said he's switching to an NX wet kit. ZEX is also pretty good for a small dry shot.

Step 1. Don't call it NOS, call it N20
Step 2. Get a simple dry kit to start, ZEX is a good place to begin
Step 3. Get 2 steps colder plugs and retard timing based on the shot size

What's the most power someone has seen a Honda motor make on nitrous? I'm still thinking about a ls/vtec with 11.5:1 CR with a Zex 50 shot.

im from pittsburgh and i had a zex kit on my old civic. the most i ran was a 65 shot on it. Get a larger fuel pump so you dont run lean on the n2o. i was noticing i was starting to run lean with the stock civic fuel pump, i had a jdm gsr motor in it. get a step 1 colder plugs with a 55 shot - 65 shot and 2 steps with a 75 shot. thats what they recommend. other than that get a purge kit, cause its just so ******* cool
good luck

the purge kit, cleans the lines of any air that might be in there and gives you a clean shot of n2o. it also looks really cool when i had mine i had it purge right where the wiper were. it shot out over the windsheild. it was so cool
im from penn hills, near monroeville. but right now i am going to school in Youngstown, OH just over the border
good luck

really i always thought that the purge kit relieved all the pressure that was still in the lines so that it would not damage the solenoids.

That's what it is used for after your run. Before you spray you clean out the lines of any gaseous nitrous.
