If you don't want to rebuild the motor again for a long time, go ahead and build it. If you don't mind rebuilding it in a year or two go ahead and run it on a stock bottom end.
It's up to you. The whole "reliable" part is always questionable. It completely depends on your tuning, maintenance, and frequency of use.

 

Nope. Your ringlands will break.

 

Yes It will hold up with Good ignition and proper tuning. I personally ran 100shot on a dry setup which is very unsafe for a good 2 or 3 months. Motor broke a rear mount and motor was then taking apart and everything looked fine. Not sure what frequent is to you but this motor saw a whole 10lbs bottle every week.

 

Go with 440 or 550cc injectors, Hondata S200, and a 100 shot dry for fine tuning.

I'd never heard of nor seen nitrous break ringlands on an H22. You turbo boys seem to be pretty good at it though.
Edit: Ryan did you get your dry setup to work yet?

Just replaced the nitrous line. The old one was kinked. Need to refill the bottle and I'll be getting it tuned either the last week of November or the beginning of December.

 

I ran 80shot Wet on a h22 for several years.....blew a headgasket once.
Timing and Ignition are essential to prolong the life of your motor.

Post the dynos when you get a chance.

 

Yeah, a 75 shot is fine on a stock block. Run a compression check if you are worried about it.

There's a girl in OK that is running a 125 shot single fogger wet setup. She's put 4 bottles through it without a problem, however she is actually trying to blow it up.

If you want to stay safe stick with a 75 shot. I ran an 85 shot for a season via a direct port kit with no problem, but I didn't put a ton of bottles through it. I did a 65 shot through a single fogger kit for a season with no problem. I'd feel safe running a 100 shot through a direct port kit, but that's me.

I don't know who would ever recommend a 100hp dry shot, since dry shots are hardly safe even at low levels imho. I'm pretty paranoid about fuel. Anyhow, if I were to build the bottom end SPECIFICALLY for nitrous, what would you guys who have RAN high shots of nitrous recommend? Speculation is nice, but I'd like to know some real world set ups so that I can get a better idea.

That is actually a common misconception about nitrous in the Honda world. A dry shot when properly tuned on a dyno with proper fuel upgrades (injectors, fuel pump, engine management) is MORE tunable and is SAFER.

I have run big shots of nitrous. I have run up to a 100 shot dry on my D16Y8 with ZEX kit and plan to run up to 125 shot, but was having problems with a kinked nitrous line. Matt Patrick's ZEX CRX was running a 200 shot dry for the beginning of this season and is now running 125 shot dry and 120 shot wet two stage setup.

It will handle more than that reliably if the tuning is good. My setup consists of SRP pistons, Eagle Rods, ARP head studs and rod bolts, ACL bearings, and a Golden Eagle block guard. As I said earlier, I already ran 100 shot dry on it and plan on going up to 125 shot now that my nitrous line is fixed. I have an appointment to get Hondata tuned again on Dec. 20.
