ya just for when your racing?

Its pricy in the long run. Save up a grand, get a wet system.

 

so get a 75 shot of wet???

 

on a 91 DA, with....i'm guessing over 150k? I wouldn't choose a 75 shot of nitrous on a stock high mileage motor, at least if you want to continue using the car.

Don't do it, save your money for something more impressive.

n2o. Don't get it, worthless to have to refill it.

 

i was running a 75 shot w/a Venom VCN1000. it would cut off the flow of nitrous if you started to run lean. The system pulsates ur injectors so that you have adequate fuel. I had alot of fun with it. motor (ls) had 130K. it hauled some ***. Then i put a 50 on my b16 before i got a turbo. It is a pain in the *** to go and fill up the bottle, and spend 50 or so $ each time. I would just save up and get a turbo or something...

 

I shoot 50shot on a 155k 91 da, no problems. If the motor is healthy and its tuned right you shouldnt have a problem, even with a 75 shot

 

do a compression and leakdown test that should help u figure out if ur car can handle it...id say do it if all goes well!

 

Look into "Cry O2" it'll be safer on your motor, and alot cheaper 2 fill, since it is just co2. the gain isnt anywhere near a 75shot of nitrous, but it is still pretty decent i have heard. Complete kits go for around $270, and it is set up just like a nitrous kit. All this kit does, is greatly cool the intake charge = more power.

alot of people bash on cryo2, but for $270, u cant go wrong. you can always sell it if it doesnt work out.

 

CO2 injected into the engine will starve it for air

 

Just run a 200 shot and get it over with.

10-4 to that, i looked into it.... sisnt seem worth the cost

and as for nitrous, never call it NOS, please for christs sake! But I had a 75 shot on my 95 LS 140K... and it was fine after i took it off... ran about 6 bottles thru, and realized I was over halfway into the cost of a turbo kit, for not nearly the same amount of horsepower. Save the money for a turbo.

And if nitrous is done right, it won't be detrimental (SP?) to the engine. Just make sure you know the ins and outs.

thank you. it is pretty ideal for those hot days..

I'll be the first to say screw the turbo, screw saving up your money, and just get the nitrous kit.

I have owned three turboed Hondas, all three of the kits I put together myself. A decent kit is going to run you about $1300-1500 if you don't skimp out on anything, which you shouldn't do anyways. Now you'll have your turbo and you'll be boosting 6-7 lbs which will net you about 65 HP and ~40 Lb/Ft. Also you'll notice your gas gauge going down rapidly since your a turbo noob (a fact, not an offense)...

Now, if you instead opt for, say a 75 wet kit, which you can get just about anywhere for arou $500, you'll be getting 75HP and ~70 Lb/Ft as well.... Everyone knows a 100 shot nitrous car will absolutely rip a 10 psi turbo car a new ******* (this is assuming the cars are the same chassis, same engine, blah, blah, blah...) Also, you won't be wasting nearly as much gasoline, 'cuz you won't be in positive pressure land all the time. $40-$50 dollars a pop seems like a lot, but really it's not. Considering the turbo kit cost you $1000 more than the nitrous kit, that's worth about 20 bottles, which should last you years, unless you are just a spastic nitrous user.

So, spend $1500 and get less power and shitty gas mileage, or spend ~$500 and have more power, no need to mess with hours and hours of tuning along with the rest of the troubles that come with turboed Hondas, and save a little gas...

................turbo...................

 

if i was looking for some big gains in power, id go turbo. and aslong as you stay out of boost when normal driving ive heard of people getting pretty decent gas milage..

Oh, I agree... but you and I both know first timers don't like to stay out of boost. And noob settups are usually untuned ro badly tuned as well, so that depletes even more fuel.
