Default Nitrous on an R?

Anyone done this? I've done turbo on an LS before but never really looked into Nitrous. I assume you have most of the same concerns, fuel, timing, etc. Can anyone comment on how safe this is though, etc?

here is what i would do:

first get your ECU done, you need a jumper and a chipped ECU.
Get something like a spoon header w/test pipe and exhaust
set of cam gears, FPR, vtec controller, a step up colder plugs i.e. 7
intake, get it tuned and run like 40-50 shot dry.. it should give you good 200whp+ easily. btw, dont forget to get a clutch installed too.

Well, right now I have AEM CAI, DC Sports JDM 4-1, Carsound highflow, and DC Sports cat back. I think the previous owner did a 75 dry shot with a fuel pump, and plugs... I'm told it was enough to go mid 12's.

75 is really pushing it! i would never go over 50hp.. most likely 40..

just get a few good bolt ons, too keep the car reliable and still be more responsive over stock, then just have that 40-50 shot in case you need to prove yourself to someone. heheheeh

so basically you have a car that feel much stronger then stock everyday on the street, then you can laugh at the v8's when you feel like it
