i have a 1995 civic ex 2 door it has a near new motor (40,000 mi.) and i want to start my mods. would it be better to get a new motor or get nos on the one that i have? and if nos is the way to go what shot should i do?

Zex kit is nice from what I hear.

BTW search your options, only You can decide whats best for you.

I'd search on topics and around the internet on nitrous if you want to get that.

Running nitrous on a stock motor is something you need to know the worlds about to run it and not blow or burn a valve or something in your motor.

Searching around would greatly help you out.

well nos would be the cheepest way to go??? but how mutch can i push? my fraind is selling a nos kit to me for $200 but nether of us realy know about it. he thinks that it is a 100 shot kit

100 shot on a stock SOHC motor? not happenin...at least reliability wise.

I'd search on the issue and how it works, etc..

95jeremie

there is no nos controler or something??? i know that 100 shot would be way to mutch. exp on a 40,000 motor

95 ex ..... D16Z6? The ? is because I don't know if it's the original motor. Anyway...I would not do NOS in your situation. If neither you nor your friend know what kit he is selling you I would not put it in your car.

Modding a car is not cheap...rule #1. If you want to do it cheap then hang out at Advanced Auto/Pep Boys. I would save up and get a tubo kit. If your motor only has 40k then it seems like a prime candidate for a SOHC turbo. Turbo is not cheap but it is IMO the best bang for the buck. If you buy an intake and header that is a good chunk of the $ that could have went into a turbo.

I don't want to tell you what to do because it is your car and only you can say what you are going to do with it. I would not do NOS as a first mod. NOS will not be the cheapest way if you don't know what you are doing with it.

it's not the oem motor but it is a d16z6 fi was told that it was best to do nos to break in your motor thin up to a turbo. and the nos would cool it down

i just bought a zex kit i will be running 50 on a stock d16y7 the kit is deisgned to be used on a stock engine

A.S.I.M.O

if you are going to do nos. try a dry set up and no more that a 35 shot. buy it's designed for more instant hp. but it's not really that much cheaper then a few bolt on mods. And in the long run you will only put a lot of wear and tear on the motor.

100 shot is ok on stock motor as long you go 2* colder plugs and retard your timing by 2*-4* and use it once in a while... We have sprayed 100 shots on B7's all day long and put down Z6-T times

BeerBaron105

zex highyl reccoemnds using there plugs on any shot so im gonna pick up a set off ebay

Stop saying "nos" you ******* ricers.

Nitrous.

Are you too much of a sped to sound out the other syllable?
Lesson:

Ni-trous.
Repeat as many times as neccesary to get it right. If you still say 'nos,' go watch The Fast and the Furious a couple more times and then jump off a bridge.

Thank You!!!! and search, you will find tons of threads on nitrous

SolObsession

I said NOS in my post because it was shorter that Nirtous. I wasn't refering to the company or any movie. Kinda like when someone says DIY or IMHO etc. Sorry now I'm a ricer I guess.

red91sit

Also we're not really spraying nitrous into our intakes, we're spraying nitrous oxide. And that's just to darn long.

::EDIT:: Also do you guys ask for Kleenex (tm) or a facial tissue?

NOS = nitrous oxide systems the company. If your refering to the gas it's nitrous or N20.
Nossss isn't even close to diy, or imo,etc...

bottom line this guy has no idea what he is talking about. he needs to learn, he has been told to search, thats what he needs to do.

i say shut down the thread, it is pointless everyone is just arguing bout n2o, nos, nitrous, nitrous oxide, happy gas, laughing gas, "2 of the big ones" purple haze.

i need a beer after this thread.
