whats safest, most effective, way to increase horsepower? like including most cost effective.. blah blah blah, mr yellow blur says its all relative, but just ur opinions on them.

 

cheapest is nos

 

yeah i know. but its bad for ur engine, shouldnt you get cams and pullies or something if get nos for protection.. and that costs a gang.

 

Cams and pulleys for nitrous? No, you do not need those. Nitrous is only bad for your motor if abused. Kinda like boost is bad if you turn it up too high. All three will cause wear on your motor though. I would say the safest would be a SC, becuase upping boost is hard to do. Wit

 

75 shots is highest amount of shots of nos you normally put in most accords in order be safe. But idunno if they're talking about wet or dry.

 

SC is definitely safest form of FI...especially taking into account the long run effects. We basically have the same car...except mine's an auto, I would probably go SC before any of the others....however I heard it's a ******* bitch to put in and tune. So...it seems that turbo again might be the winner (as usual)...and the wear might not matter much since the engine is brand spankin new.

 

what does wet or dry stand for.. how much do the kits run, with tuning and everything <-- honda newbie

 

50shot wet setup should be around $450

go to http://www.turbomagazine.com and click on the tech article on NOS... good introductory piece... it'll explain the different setups... I've had a dry setup for awhile, but I recommend a wet setup to add a little extra fuel (a little richer of a air fuel mixture is necessary when using NOS)... if you want more info, I can supply that to you (I'm really tired right now)... but I will say one last thing, a wet setup is more reliable and predictable than a dry setup... plus it's more tunable...
