if ur friend want to play with NOS safely, a dry kit will be perfect, but keep in mind a dry kit can only give u instant 75 hp max. to be more advanced, go to the wet kit, it will be more expensive. Depending on how much ur friend wanna spend a wet kit can give u up to 150 hp or even more. but wet kit is more dangerous than dry kit too.

The most he will shoot is 75 shot. He already got some cold plugs and tranny cooler. All I need to know is what is a good shop to install in the SoCal area. Thats all I asked for and nothing else.

vtecandy, you mean nitrous or actually NOS?

NOS isn't nitrous..it's a company. we aren't the fast and furious here.

come on bro, when people say NOS, u know they mean nitrous oxide. do u need a translation for the word "tranny" ?? why make life complicate if it can be simple.

i'm sorry vtecandy but you are wrong. you can spray more than 75 shot with a dry nitrous setup. Also a wet kit is safer than a dry kit reason being, with a dry kit, you are spraying nitrous through the intake and the nitrous must evenly disperse to all 4 clyinders (to all 6 clylinders with your friends V6 Accord) and extra fuel must be accounted for the extra nitrous. With a wet kit you are spraying both nitrous and fuel which is a much more even.

For the person who wants the nitrous kit. If you don't know much about nitrous i reccomend you to get a ZEx kit. You can pick one up off ebay for around 300 used and around 450 brand new. If your willing to do more resserach, i recommend you to get a NOS direct port kit.

I have been spraying for almost a year now on my accord. No problems yet. (i'm running 75 shot)

Good luck

when they say NOS i know they probably don't know much about it and are trying to refer to nitrous oxide because NOS is a company. kinda my pet peeve that kids runnign around calling it NOS now since fast and furious.

tell him to do it himself. he will kick himself in the nuts once he sees how ez it is to install a dry kit like zex. zex is by far the simplest kit to install. i bought and installed a used NX wet kit that didnt come with any instruction and w/o any prior knowledge and it wasnt that difficult. i just did some homework on nitrous and i already knew a few things here and there which made the installation simple.

yes u can spray higher than a 75shot with a dry kit but its not recommended. leaning out a cylinder w/ too much n2o and not enough fuel is very likely with any shot higher than 75 on a dry kit application. there was a guy over at HS that was spraying 125 zex shot on his built h22. he said that zex came out with a new application for mustangs that had that high of a shot and he converted it to fit on his h22, but now he is going boost since his motors' built to handle high boost.

what alias said is exactly the reason why i got a wet kit and also because NX rates their shots to the wheels where as other kits rate their shots to the crank. ive got a friend thats been spraying a 75 wet shot on a 95 lx auto for over a year with just basic bolt ons, colder plugs, no fuel or ignition upgrades and his car is still running strong. im running a 50 shot and have basic bolt ons, colder plugs, tranny cooler, a walbro 255 fuel pump and fpr thats going to be installed soon on my 94 ex, then ill up the ante to a 75shot.

i usualy say n2o but nos IS proboly the most recognizeable brand, its kinda like when people ask for an advil when they mean pain reliver or a kleenex when they mean a tissue. i can see how its annoying tho. as for a shop to install a dry kit, why not do it yoursef? its pretty easy.
