Go to Nitrous Express' website - it'll answer a lot of questions about running N0S. I don't believe changing internals would be necessary for a 50 shot, but depending on how much you use it, it could significantly decrease longevity.

I wouldn't run it unless you have at least forged pistons and some better breathing for the vehicle, plus you'd want to make sure you're getting adequate amounts of fuel into the cylinders. I could run spray on my motor if I wanted to with the JE 10.8:1 pistons I have, but I'd rather not.

You shouldn't have to refill power.

First make sure the welds holding the steel panel in front of the passenger seat are strong and intact ... you should be good to go then.

I doubt a 50 shot on an otherwise stock Ep3 will outrun a mild bolt-on RSX-S or any other swapped hatch.

Don't understand the point for such a small gain. Too much downside for .5-.75 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

EP3+NOS=gernade. Good luck trying to push the pin back in.
