I'm sure there's different laws everywhere, but here you can have a bottle in the car, but it can't be hooked up(wierd huh?). Unless of course, you're at a drag strip or something. also, NOS won't F**k up your engine if you use it in MODERATION. don't try to use a 300HP wet shot, in an inline four cylinder engine. :shock: basically, just use some common sense.

nitrous is a way of putting more oxygen molecules into the combustion chamber, if you do not add any fuel, the air fuel mixture will be much too lean and you will blow your motor. more air, more fuel, more power. So obviosuly you must add more fuel when you are spraying.

Further more, nitrous also is rediculously cold and will cool your intake charge, which also aids power. Nitrous can also be very inconsistent because of varying bottle pressure, atmospheric conditions, unpurged nitrous lines, etc... Which is why a lot of people stick away from it.


You can do a dry sytem or a wet system.

Dry system
1) Nitrous is injected into the intake pipe around 6 inches away from the throttle body, and there is piggyback computer telling your engine to spit out more fuel and retard timing to compensate.


Wet system (2 different kinds)
1) Single Fogger -There is a single fogger nozzle where nitrous and fuel meet and are injected 6 inches away from the throttle body, some ignition retard would be a good idea.

2) Direct port - Similar to #1 fogger nozzles are used but instead of just spraying it before the throttle body and hoping it mixes in each cylinder equally :roll: You use one nozzle in each runner of your intake manifold and that way you are sure it is mixing equally.

You can also find direct port plate systems that fit between the head and the intake manifold.


For the cars you listed I would use the singgle fogger with no more than +/- 50 shot.

Good luck getting refills :shock:

I had a Zex kit on my Civic and it added some nice power..I had a 50 shot on it..I have the D16y7 Civic motor with as many bolt on goodies as I could cram on there..The only real race I had was against a Turbo 300 zx and i was suprised I walked all over it..It was running nicely that night...And Nitrous can be dangerous if the fuel and air mixture aren't right. Can cause your engine to run lean...

Nitrous oxide system is pretty much a universal kit. You can pretty much install it any car you wish. Just make sure if the car is old or been putting a lot of mileage, do a compression test first before installing a nitrous oxide kit to make sure that the engine is still strong enough to handle that kind of pressure.

Nitrous oxide is definitely the best bang for the buck when it comes to horsepower gain. It also can be safe if you use it properly. Make sure you have the throttle fully open when spraying nitrous otherwise you'll fry your piston. Most of my friends out here has a safety thing on their nitrous kit. Basically even though the nitrous switch is on, if the throttle isn't fully open, nitrous won't spray.
