Default nos

Would like your opinions. I don't have the money right now for a gsr swap for my 94 ex. I would like a cheap but affective power upgrade like nos to get me by until I can afford the swap, but is it a good idea for a car that just hit 100k miles?

Have compression and leakdown checks done on it first. If the numbers are good, then you should be good to go.

Just for the record too, it is not NOS, it is N2O or Nitrous Oxide. NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) is a brand name, not a technology. NOS also makes octane boosters and many other products. Not trying to flame you or anything, just letting you know so other people won't grill you alive for it .

My ZEX kit was $350 used and came with a bottle mounted psi gauge.

Most are $509 online.

If it is a NOS dry kit.
The 042 jet should be in the line going to your fuel pressure regulator.
032=50 shot
034=60 shot
036=70 shot

and what do you mean i dont' know what you mean by putting a jet going to my fuel preashure regulator, i don't have one on my car i don't think. i have a fuel pump. but not a preshure regulator. i never bought one and put on it. so i am supposed to put a jet some where else?

Learn to spell, people won't think you're an idiot. It's "pressure".
