Default DP Nitrous...

I have a '99 Prelude w/ basic bolt-ons. I'd like to set up a DP nitrous system, and I was wondering what Intake Manifold I should use.

I would like to buy a new one for 2 reasons: 1. to install the nozzles w/ the manifold off (minimizing downtime), and 2. To gain a few horsed N/A and while on the juice. Any experience and advice would be great, thanks in advance.

Any one you want....you can install the DP in less than 6 hours, even if its your first time. Id install the whole kit, then do the tapping and such, then your cars not really down. It will be down just as long in you do the euro r.

Ok, so the manifold is preference--speaking of which, i think id rather have one that has all of the oem fittings, etc.

But to install the DP, is it just a matter of drilling and tapping? (besides the rest of the kit)

Yes, you just tap your nozzle holes, put the nozzles in, and use a tube bender to bend the hardlines to the distribution block....not too hard. You can also have SS lines made up if you dont want to mess with hardlines. The hardware side of the install is easy, the wiring takes longer to do, and that isnt very hard at all.

I pretty much suck at wiring, so would you recomend a shop to do that part for me? Or are most instructions pretty well written?

Im looking around online, and it seems it may be difficult to find a Direct Port kit that will jet down to 35 or 50 hp. Any recomendations?
