This guy ^^^^ is obviously an idiot so don't listen to him.

I had a zex wet kit on my '98 for awhile. The jets come with whatever kit you get, you can buy other sizes if you want to up the shot. A fuel pump isn't really necessary I don't think. I know many that have nitrous and haven't upgraded their fuel pump.

for bang for the buck you can't beat nitrous.

you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Furthermore it's not NOS. That is a company. It is nitrous oxide, AKA NO2, which indicates the chemical composition of the substance.

closed minded idiots

To the OP: I've never sprayed my accord, but know people who have run 75 shots on the stock bottom end without trouble. I recommend you go with a wet or direct port kit, not a dry kit.

The problem with spraying 98+ accords is that you can't retard the timing manually. People have done it with good results but it would be a little worrisome to me.

^^^ Actually, it's n2o, not no2

My '98 has 165,000 miles on it and I've sprayed for two years with a Zex dry kit with 55 and 75 shots. Here's all you need to spray away...
-get a window switch. This will prevent your car from hitting fuel cut while spraying and is absolutely necessary for any nitrous user. A digital one costs $100 or less.
-get 2 step colder plugs.
-always use at least 92 octane fuel when spraying. I used half 100 octane, half 92 octane when spraying a 75 shot and saw better results (I didn't pull timing).
-if your car is stock (bottom end, fuel system), stick with a 75 shot or less. Any shot higher than a 75 will require an upgraded fuel pump and possibly a semi-built motor (I'm going to run a 100/125 on my stock f23 this summer to see how long it lasts).

Nitrous is a ton of fun and definately isn't for ricers. Beware that bottles typically cost $35-$55 to fill and don't last all that long. Good luck

Can I get a video/audio clip of the nitrous on the 98 accord, I've always tinkered with the idea on mine.

Would it be a good idea to get a bottle warmer? I might have some fun this summer with nitrous...

my point is im not a real nos fan like you guys are. how its so easy for people to just hook up nos and spray. weak. make true racers with built motors look bad. any idiot can just have their car installed with nos and spray. too easy. thats my opinion. if u have turbo/sc setup and u spray its ok cuz as u get there, its not just spraying anymore. you have a built block, not just some stock one sprayin 75 shots.


like i said thats my opinions, bash all u want, it aint going to change my opinion on it.

Just curious, you don't like nitrous because you think it's 'cheap' horsepower? What better invention could you ask for? Just because it's cheap and universal, I mean, how many people would have turbocharged engines if you could get the complete setup for $250? Everyone. And just because you have a turbo doesn't mean you know **** about cars. Shops will install anything, turbo, super, nitrous, whatever. I give more props to a guy that installs his own nitrous system than to some rich ignorant guy that pays a shop to turbo his car and doesn't know anything about it. In response to the original post, I know that most nitrous kits run fine with the stock fuel pump. What kind of system are you going to install?

oh really, if ur saying like that than what if some idiot who dont know anything about motors, install nitrous oxide. why doesnt he look like a fool. im not being racist and descriminating on nos because its cheap horsepower, but the fact that its universal and anyone can place it within their car, having turbo doesnt mean their car is going to be fast also, turbo lags if it isnt properly built with the right setup. anyone can afford nos, turbo or super charge isnt so easy to buy. yeah its expensive but that doesnt mean u have to be rich, **** i aint rich, but i rather save up for the turbo kit instead. im not going to be a dick, im sorry for saying that its gay, but for the fact, i suggest u get turbo. i dont want to be known on HT for being a dick and bashing on people. i came to this place for two reason. HELP people and get help from others. so stop the bashing, lets just give out useful information. btw, im just trying to give him other options.

Hmm.. I was going to ask the same question. Anyone care to give out more information considering Turbo and Supercharge? Also N20 is listed above.

Thanks,

Well if you're here to give help then why was your original post (the one you deleted and edited) bashing nitrous? You said it yourself that you're here for 2 reasons to give and receive help, so maybe next time you post you should think about what you're saying before you post it.

easy? let me see you install a direct port kit or wire up a progressive controller.

what about people who build high compression motors for nitrous, with multiple stages. weak?

You're right, a guy who knows nothing about his car could install nitrous. But if he doesn't know anything about engines I'd say he's apt to overshoot and blow his engine. I didn't take any offense to your comments to be honest, I'm not more in favor of nitrous than turbos or superc's, they all have their place. I understand where you're coming from and I respect it. But as far as your first post man, if you're going to bash something then you should at least take a few more seconds to back it up and then you won't look like an ***. For example...."turbos are better than nitrous because xxxx" I'm sure you know what I mean. And thanks for getting on HT to help people and get help, it really is a group effort.

i don't really care if you farted to get the extra .256 second or spray, winning is winning.

there's people hating on turbo/sc, and there's people hating on n20, but it's about budget and goal, if you aint' got the money, there's only so many way you can go fast.

if you ask me n2o is a pretty balanced power adder, it's cheap but damn, if you get too greedy you can have 60 different broken parts

This has sparked my interest. Now what do I need for sure to run a 75 shot on my H22? I already have the fuel pump, and I know about the spark plugs, but is a wet system better? and why? Also is 75 shot safe for an h22 considering I have all the neccesary components? What about a bottle warmer? I know I could search this, but this seems like an open topic here, so let's here all the nitrous Accord users and there experiences

try 50 shots first, get a used zex/nx kit since they have better "fail-safe" electronic. you gonna need a colder plugs, FPR the mininium.

body warmer, purge kit, oh yeah, get the wet kit, it's better and safer

i have a 94 accord ex with 130k and ive been running my NX 75 wet kit for about half a year now and with no problems. i prefer wet kits over dry kits because i think they are safer. im running stock pump and no motor mods. the only hassle about nitrous is filling. it gets a pain after awhile but its worth it i think. dont forget if you get nitrous to fill up 91 octane or higher as earlier stated to prevent detonation and get 2 step colder plugs. you can find them at oreillys or something. ngk two step colder all 4 were 12 dollars or less.
