so i just spent 6 hours or so installing my nitrous system in my 94 civic(d16z6) and i have a few questions. first if you hit the nitrous switch then go to WOT does the car launch forward and kick you in the seat or does the spedomiter just fly up there? i can't feel it as much as i can see it on the speedometer. it seems to lag some at 5k like it has trouble getting into vtec in third, is this normal? it only happened a few times so its really no big deal. i am running a 50shot of NX. about how much more HP will i get with a purge valve and auto bottle warmer? thanks

 

Probably ~9,000whp. You really wont see gains from a purge valve and bottle warmer. They just keep your lines clear of any unused N20 ensuring a "clean" spray, and help maintain constant bottle pressure, respectively. What kind of kit do you have? If you spent 6 hours installing it I hope it's because you were tapping the IM.

well i have an NX efi "import" kit. it took me 5hours and 30 min to complete because we had to clean the garage, brainstorm how to mount it, mount it, run the lines(under the car), splice into the fuel line, un-loctite a fitting we put in the wrong place, ghetto rig the wiring, and so forth. a lot of the time was spent just think of what should go where etc, since the instructions that came with the kit were so vague we had to figure most of it out ourselves. this was my first major install of any kind so i say that the timing could be taken down by an hour or so from experience. oh yeah i also had to deal with a fuel leak that we had no idea how happend.
