Plenty of guys have had success running dry shots of nitrous on their h23's
A buddy of mine hit 13's with smaller tires and a 65 shot on his mostly
stock h23. That's with good driving skills though
Make sure you have a healthy motor and take the necessary precautions
before doing it and you should be ok

retarding your ignition a few degrees, running colder spark plugs, etc.

I agree, if you dont even know the difference between wet and dry nitrous injection then you should stay away from it altogether until you have educated yourself about the setup, precautions, and risks of running a nitrous oxide setup.

thats not mean, thats saving him from having to learn the hard way - losing a motor.

Re: (SUB-0 H23)
i dont understand why anyone would shoot dry nitrous.
to get power, u cram in more air and more fuel. shooting dry nitrous gives u the cramming more air part, but wheres the fuel to burn it? It'll run lean and over heat and u say bye bye to ur weak little oem head gasket. The only situation i can think of for ppl to run dry nitrous is if they have all the fuel upgrades thus running rich normally which is a waste IMO, or if their shooting nitrous in their turbo to spool it up or on intercooler to cool it down.
get a wet system. Nitrous is deadly. Make sure u use it correctly.. other wise its deadly to ur motor lol.

LOL... well
"To handle the needed additional fuel, a special pressure regulator that increases the fuel pressure to the injectors while the nitrous solenoid is activated provides enrichment"(honda/acura engine performance)
BTW, dont give out advice if you dont know what you are talking about noOb.

YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG!!!
and for a guy that has a 75shot you need to educate yourself on nitrous before giving out information.
checks eLUDEnu's sig:
"96 prelude vtec, dc header,aem cold air,apexi dunk catback, hi flow cat, fidanza 8lb flywheel, act hdss clutch, and 75 shot of the good $hit Still looking for some cams"
Wet: Sprays Nitrous and Fuel together into Intake or Intake Manifold (Direct Port)
Dry: Sprays only nitrous and depends on fuel injectors to deliver fuel.
People opt for the dry system because it's much cheaper since there are less parts to deal with, ie Solenoids, Nozzle,etc
and to the original poster:
why would you want to replace the pistons and use a dry shot to be safe. It'll be alot cheaper to just use a wet system before changing out the pistons.

Nitrous is not "deadly". It's people like you that give it a bad wrap. Ive seen and been around people who use it almost every weekend and they're motors held up fine. Its all in the way it is used and how your motor/car is setup.
And Sub-0 H23, thats a nice dyno chart. It's just wierd seeing a Honda with more torque than HP. Probably gonna dyno my Direct Port setup (80 shot) to see what it can do.

yup, it is a very simply set-up

i have to say that i regret getting a dry kit

Re: What would a dry shot of nos do? (SUB-0 H23)
Something is very odd with that dyno to me, so I went looking and found this:
Horsepower equals torque times rpm divided by 5252. Horsepower = (Torque X RPM) / 5252
Torque equals horsepower times 5252 divided by rpm. Torque = (Horsepower X 5252) / RPM
RPM equals horsepower times 5252 divided by torque. RPM = (Horsepower X 5252) / Torque
If you know any two of the terms, you can calculate the third. You might also notice that torque and horsepower will always be equal at 5,252 rpm, horsepower will be greater than torque above 5252 RPM, and torque will be greater than horsepower below 5252 RPM. ALWAYS…NO EXCEPTION!
Unless there is something I'm missing, I'd say that they dyno they gave you isn't very accurate...

I think you got it all wrong!
according to McNasty: "Is NOT called nitrious tha **** is called called NOS
You should know by now your life is a loss"
http://www.angelfire.com/tn3/kaitlyn/McNasty
This is what happens after I use my NOS. The conversation usually goes something like this:
"When ya lost you called me a cheater
Ya just couldn't hang with the 1.6 liter
Tha Civic is more like a rocket than it is a car
You’ll be sayin to ya self “damn is that a type R"
On a more serious note, I hate it when people call it NOS. That damn movie has everybody calling it that.
NOS = brand, Calling nitrous NOS is like calling every shoe made NIKE.

Increase compression??? what???? I hope when you said it increases compression you mean increased cylinder pressure in the combustion process due to the greater amounts of oxygen...It will not increase compression
