Default Zex nitrous

I was recommended to post this in a few different places for different opinions, so dont flame if you see it somewhere else.

I am really looking for more HP out of my 94 Integra RS but I cant afford to go LS/Vtec or Turbo or anything like sutch. The option that I am looking at is the ZEX Nitrous kit. Im not trying to be som Fast and Furious freak, I just want some good, fairily cheap HP.
Well, the main question I have is can I do this? My B18B has 123,000 miles on it and although it runs great in my opinion, there could be some lurking factors im a little scared of. Should I just get it compression tested, and if everything checks out im good to go?? Can I buy something to get it compression tested, or do I have to have it done professionally?? What should my numbers look like?? Thanks for all of your help!

I would recommend doing a compression test on the motor first. If everything is good you can run 75 shot w/ your stock fuel system without any problems. Just retard the timing(i think it's 4 deg. it tells you in the instructions) my brother and cousin are both running it and they like it. good luck.

The number dosn't matter as much as how close together they are. I got a compression tester from napa for 30 dollers.

Yes, do a compression test, and for Pete's sake install it yourself. I've ripped apart shitty work before from shops. Do your own work, so that if you need to troubleshoot it you will know where everything is.
