Default Spray with what tuning?

So I wanna keep the S2000 NA, but some will argue that spraying isn't keeping it N/A. Anywho, the question is, if I spray the F20 motor, what can I run to tune it and keep the motor stout/healthy? Keep in mind, money is tight, so I don't have cashflow to get KPro, AEM, or anything else. I have found Nitrous kits locally for a good price, and since I am not loaded to turbocharge/supercharge, I'd like to have a little fun with spray. I sprayed my old Integra (B16a), with a little tuning of crome. What do you all suggest I do? SAFC controller and tune the A/F's that way?

If nothing is reasonable to do, or keep my motor healthy and in good shape, I'm gonna throw it out of the way, and just keep the car simple.

you can tune the jets in a wet kit. You can do it without tuning ecu wise. This also varys on how much you want to spray! Make sure you use a bottle warmer.

Well on the Integra, I just ran 65 shot jets and was please with it. IT was also a wet kit. WHat do you mean I can tune the jets on a wet kit? I was never informed I could do that?

nitrous and fuel jets you can get them in different sizes. Car runs rich go smaller on the fuel jet. pretty simple to do.

Hmmm, I know I ran certain jets that was approx. 65 shot. I guess I should invest in a wideband then too huh?

Nitrous tends to end up costing as much, if not more than a decent turbo/supercharger kit. Keep in mind, you have a more expensive oem clutch and it's a bit more involved to change it than your ol' b-series.

Jason, I have money, just not enough to turbo or anyuthing like that.

Zegs, very true, I guess you are right. Other than exhaust and intake that I wanted to do, I wanted something else to have fun with.

I feel ya man, but delayed gratification will be more rewarding in cases like this. I'm going through the same feeling as a former nitrous user. Nitrous isn't just about a kit and it's jets. To use it "safely", you gotta still consider fuel flow, ignition components, fuel and ignition tuning (jets, pump, and ways to adjust ignition timing). That's not even taking into account of wear and tradable parts that are still ok for stock, but too tired for an extra 50-75 ft-lbs of "instant" torque. The cost for fills adds up quickly too.

a good foolproof nitrous set up will cost you about 1100 to 1200 bucks. A decent turbo kit will cost you 5000 plus tuning and an engine after the install. Nitrous is best bang for the buck.

Yeah, well when spraying my Integra, had a walbro fuel pump, proper jets to run a safe shot, and a decent nitrous kit. I filled the bottle maybe twice when I had it running on my Integra, and that was for a few months. Didn't use it very much.
