My car is currently under rebuild by honda but first they want to inspect it. Around october I installed my kit and after a couple of weeks I got tired of it and took it off. I sprayed it about 6-10 Times at the most. I doubt it had anything to do with my motor blowing . My compression test read like so; 5,175,110(i think) and 90. It was burning oil for about a month before this happened. I drove my car like about 2 months after I took out my kit . So heres my question could nitrous deposits be found in the internals? I put some fuel injector cleaner a while back too and I drove like 2500 miles at the least. So what do you think people?

 

dude,,,mechanics aren't stupid! They're gonna wonder why there was abnormal wear to your piston rings and figure it out

 

Especially if you have aftermarket wheels and a drop.

 

No drop on it. I put the stock springs back on. I know mechanics arent stupid but the car is 100 percent fullly stock . Im just so worried.

 

just deny it completely...my friend on here works for acura/honda (acuratech is his SN). hey says the get people all the time who have messed up motors, that STILL have the nitrous systems hooked up, but say that it's for show only. as long as it's under warranty you have nothing to worry about...they usually let the first one go w/o that big of a deal...

 

as long as it's under warranty i could care less. and a majority of the money paying for his rebuild, is all the EXTRA $$ they charge when he buys the car. honda-tech and other forums = about what? 300,000 people who buy parts...i can don't mind shelling out a penny or two for his rebuild....

 

ppl like this, who made the statement about easy way out are stuuuuuuupid

 

Well you can count on the fact that the nitrous DID do this to your motor. If you drilled any holes anywhere in your intake, they will know. Make sure you replace ALL traces of the install and you will be fine. Just scratch your head and say to the service writer "I don't understand it either"

 

thats kinda harsh earl, i dont think it was the nitrous but maybe the user? im pretty sure the same would happen if he was boosted. n20 isnt a bandaid, if you have any pre existing problems before, n20 definately aint gonna fix it ...itll just expose ur weaknesses.

 

I had some issues with nitrous for a while (thinking it was super-lame and all) but, I realized that what bugs me is not that people use it, but that SO many are irresponsible. I wouldn't try to put a 100shot on my stock engine and expect it to last too long, but so many people do. That is what sucks about nitrous; it's SO easy to do it, but hard to do it right.


its not about the money you spend,
its about looking over at the 65 yr old guy
in his new corvette and knowing your about
to give him a heart attack.

damn straight!

 

The point is that the user couldn't have done it without the nitrous.

 

My point is only that he could not of hurt it that bad without the help of nitrous and with no tuning help. Not that nitrous is bad or people who use it are bad. It can be dangerous in the hands of a noob.

 

well the only thing you have to worry about is if they find the nitrous in your oil. Nitrous leaves deposits in the oil and you need to change it a few times before they get the car.

They can put the oil under some special light and the nitrous will ahine or something like that not sure about the detailed tech stuff they do to it.

 

wouldnt NOx in the blow-by show the same traces?

 

Where the heck did you hear of this???? OMG the only thing the N20 will leave behind is damage. Ill give you signs of N20 damage....

1)the back side of the bearings will show colored marks from the beating of the rod when there is detonation...

2)N20 will also weld the ring gaps together

3)it will crush the top section of a cast piston down onto the ring, seizing the ring in the groove.

4)if the mixture is lean, the pistons edges will melt back, depending on severity

5)N20 backfires....ooo I can tell a whole bunch of **** here..bent throttle plates, ripped open sheetmetal intakes, intake tubes smashed, exploded fiters and IAC motors and ICT sensors found in pieces.

6) deposits on the sparkplugs...and discoloration of the porcelian(sp)

Now as you said the motor smoked before you added the N20.....N20 didnt cause this motor to blow....the user did....

foozball-26....N20=nitrous oxide=can be stored as a liquid but at room temp. at atmospheric pressures is a vapor....the only thing left behind would be a couple of PPM of sulfur....which can be found in gasoline also....

Even a hurt motor cannot take tubocharging let alone N20....

It's always the rookies who think nitrous is some time bomb waiting to go off.

I use nitrous on my daily driven car.
I drive my car everyday , everywhere I go, and in all weather(we get alot of snow in SD).

Nitrous is, without argument, the best bang for the buck mod.
Go read a book or something.

 

Mike installed nitrous on his first Honda many years back. A month or two later he developed a knock. At that time I had never worked on a Honda in my life. I isolated the cylinder, dropped the pan and pulled off the rod cap. The bearing came out in pieces. Never saw that happen in a V-8. Put a new bearing in and in ran like new again. O yeah, he sold the nitrous set up the next week and started looking for a turbo. Hehe. Come a long way since then...

 

I wouldnt be too sure of that at all. the mechanics at dealers arent always that bright!!We blew up our rsx and they couldnt tell that it was from n20. it all depends on what else you have on your car that may lead them to believe you had spray.Our nitrous kit was on the injen intake so we just switched back to the stock box and they never asked. By the way one of my friends broke a rod on his rsx turning a corner at 4k rpm and all he had was an intake. figure that one out!!

 

thats what warranty is for!! my theory is if the car has warranty run spray and if it doesnt run turbo, or turbo and spray!! the parts dept is a complete rip off regardless off how many people get parts warrantied that shouldnt. what about acura's 1 good will service. people blow up their motors by downshifting into the wrong gear and acura warrantees it!! that driver error not faulty product.

 

Done

 

Just to get things straight. I did not like nitrous at all I just put it on because my freind gave it to me for a good price. I sprayed it a couple of times and thats it. I had CEL's before the nitrous and my car was losing compression back then too but I thought it was a Hgasket or carbon buildup or something. But I wasnt irresponsible with my kit for shure. Oh I changed the oil constantly around 5 Times before this and honda did most of it.

 

I'll take nitrous over a supercharger any day on a Honda. What do you have on your car oh knowledgable one?

 

101 Percent Fully Stock

 

Uh, wow. Really?

Are you sure you don't mean NITROMETHANE instead?

Anyways, we've already had the NOS vs Turbo vs Supercharger debate soo many times already....it's getting really stupid guys.

BOTTOMLINE: RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG Nuff said.

 

wtf are you talking about i had nitrous on my daily driven R for the last 2.5 years. dont say that **** will fail becuase mine didnt. . . know why? becuase i knwo what im doing .
i am turbo now , but i sitll love nitrous and dont look back on those days without a big grin in my face and alot of pissed off homos on the street like you that got showed up
