not many people spray on the EP3..
alot of RSX owners do.. The type S is taking a 100 shot some crazy ppl are doing 125 shot..

A few ppl spray 75 to th EP3 SI's
I havent met any1 with spray in an ep3 yet..

Kinda looking forward to the JRSC when it comes out..

Yes, just like boost, the fuel-return system somehwat limits the use of nitrous, but there is an open thread about nitrous on the other ep-related board with tons of stories/info. (Im trying not to blatantly mention ephatch.com)

Well to each his own bro. And on http://www.clubrsx.com some people were spraying that much on thier motor with no problems so far.

In one case a auto RSX base was squeezing a 125 shot for a while with no problems. He ended up killing his motor because he accidently hit the n2o at 2k rpms and boom. His mistake and error. Other then that the engine has been holding strong on the rsx.

well i believe and i'm sure others would agree that his accident was waiting to happen anyways, the key words here are "a while". 6 months to a year is not a while, when he's gonna be paying for that car for the next 5 years. i think 75 is pushing it on any 4 banger. i've been around alot of guys spraying and eventually they "mostly" all go booooom. so spray sparingly, don't use it too much and don't use too big of a shot. if you are build the bottom end first. or you'll be paying for a car for 4-5 years that needs a new engine.

In my opinion the only N20 system type that should be used is a "wet" type. The K20A3 is a "lean burn" vtec with the vtc. If I was you... if anything a 50 wetshot with a window switch from 4k-6krpm at WOT.
