well since we are giving instructions, you should use spell check and proper grammar.

with proper spelling rite is actually write, meaning the act of putting something on paper

Anyway, to keep it safe and all I would stick with a 50 or 55 shot, and probably a dry shot. That's what I got. I don't know if you tapped into your intake yet but I would recommend the zex air intake filter. It was $100 + shipping everywhere but Zex.com is selling it for $39.99 now on clearance. It works real nicely with the dry shot.

I had the zex wet kit until my car got stolen last week, I've run well over 100lbs of nitrous through the motor at 75 shot, and I've even sprayed 150 shot too. Motor is a d16y8 with stock internals. This is what you need 93+ octane, ngk bkr7e spark plugs (I found that out the hard way, 5 vaporized air filters and a couple intake arms later), 2deg ignition timing retard (more if you spray more than 75 shot), a good fuel pump that wont burn out at the wrong moment.

I don't know why people think nitrous oxide is soo dangerous.(ok so my car lit on fire once while racing a ford focus, but i still won) Your running a d-series motor if you blow it up, buy another one for $100 it's aa disposable motor and thats why I love it!

^^ And this is why most people dont like to post threads. Look he asked a question in search of an answer. He doesnt need people like you chimming in with stupid answers and dumb pictures. If you dont have a answer then dont post.

^^ that is a little too much for a stock d16y8. I wouldnt run a Dry 75 shot, it would starve the engine of fuel and would eventually lead to fried piston rings. Try doing a lower Dry shot or at all possible, go get a Wet kit. You will have a even distribution of Nitrous and Fuel.
