Default ZC and nos combo, good or bad (did search)

I read on some guys site that was doing a zc swap with nos and cpl days later he blew up the engine because something about an air pocket in the fuel line. Is ZC and nos wise to do or is it better to just do zc/turbo. That is if i have the money to turbo.

Also how big of a realibility issue is turbo on zc. Would it be more reliable to turbo a b16a1. TIA

my friend ran nitrous on his zc....

they say you can't run more than a 50 shot....

my friend ran a 35 shot which is really small.. he went threw 2 bottles in 3 weeks...
which is a lot.. he must of done 3 or 4 runs a day...
well he never refilled it after than ... but he ended up blowing his clutch and his car would ever engage any gear...
if you run the right setup with nos.. sparingly you won't have a problem....
go for it.. he had the 3rd gen zc ... it was really strong motor

go with a 50 or 55 shot my friend has had this same set up for over a year and his motor still runs strong no problems just make sure you take it to get tuned you don't want to detinate and blow up

I have a fifty shot on mine, ran it a couple times. My clutch was the weak link in that situation and I just got the new one put in Saturday so hopefully when it warms up again I will get to have some more fun. Make sure to do the install properly and tht u don't run lean and you should probably retard the igntion a hair or two.
