integra gsr nos zex

i have a 95 gsr with 160k miles i know thats alot but for a honda its just barely breaking it in. i want to go nos but dont want the motor to blow up i was thinking of going zex and start with the 55 shot and maybe work my way up but i was wondering with that many miles would i even be able to spray with out detonation its a strong running motor and i always am runnin 92 octane but if i got nos i would use octane booster before sprayin. but what would be a good kit to get on a motor with I/H/E and what do you think i should buy before sprayin. i know i would get zex spark plugs but what else maybe a new fuel pump and plug wires and would msd ignition help also. also i heard my motor should handle a 75 shot all day long and not detonate is that true i don't know if i would try it maybe once but i need all your guys' knowledge about putting nos on a integra and what kind of gains you guys got thanks

Sorry I couldnt resist...

160k miles seems a little high to be running N2O though.

i know but it was 2 am and i was tired but i wanted to post this up so i called it nos to speed it up i was looking on the zex web site and i guy said he put nitrous thru his mustang with 147k miles and run fine also my motor is real strong to it will burn them in 1st, 2nd, 3rd so you dont think i will be able to run zex NOS

Haha its cool man.

If you want to run nitrous, go for it, but it wouldnt surpise me if you were rebuilding your internals in the near future because of it. There is a guy on here, whtteg, whos had some great results with nitrous, you should PM him about it.

my friend with a 90 teg RS was shooting a 55 shot for about 8 months. his car had only 120,000 miles on the engine. after the 8 months it blew a piston ring. nitrous is gay.

what brand of nitrous was he using and also was his kit wet or dry and was he getting enough fuel like injector and fuel pump or all stock??? also what spark plugs they might not be cold enough and that would make it blow also and in a couple months i want to rebuild my engine over the winter and by next summer be 13 seconds or something also if i did put higher compression pistons in like type r 11: 1 could you still run like a 50 shot even know the compression is higher cause i want to go NA but shoot nitrous some times also

he was using a zex dry kit with the zex spark plugs. his fuel system was stock but as the kit says there is no need to upgrade it with just a 50 shot. if you are going to put type r pistons in your car why do you want to use nitrous? yes it will handle it but thats not the point. it cuts down on the life of your engine severely even at just a 50 shot. built your all motor engine and you wont need nitrous.

thats probably why i heard dry kits are garbage I've heard alot of people saying that dry kits suck and they would never use them because the fact that it shoots into the intake and then mixes with the fuel instead of mixing with fuel then entering the motor like wet kits so he probably went lean and it onle cuts your motor life down if you dont know how to use it properly im just sayin that i would never use a dry kit and why isnt it a good idea to up the compression make more horsepower like 220 all motor and add a 75 shot and have almost 300

man people really need to start doing more research. a wet kit is not better then a dry kit. do you know why they created both kits? because some cars mix the fuel with the air in the manifold and others have just air in the manifold and the fuel is sprayed in the combustion chamber. one is not better then the other. they are for different purposes. yes they can be used on different engines but that doesnt mean that was what it was designed for. with a wet kit there is a very big danger of dead spots in the manifold where fuel and nitrous can puddle. then you get a very large explosion destroying your whole engine if not the whole car. dry kits are just fine but you need to build an engine that can handle it. and i dont care what anyone says, nitrous cuts the life of an engine no matter how you use it. a 50 shot is a 50 shot no matter how you use it. increases that come on so suddenly like that, especially with an engine with stock internals, causes the rings to wear. with my friends old engine it the wear was very pronounced when driving after he used the nos for about 5 months. the thing slowed down a lot without the nitrous and finally after 8 months the rings couldnt handle it anymore. if you cant build an engine with a turbo or NA to have enough power then you are the problem. not the engine.

250 shot on stock crank and stock pistons. Granted, I have a V8, but still, with the correct build, you will have absolutely no problems running nitrous. If you blow your motor running nitrous, usually, you're the problem, not the N2O:rolleyes:

Could not have said it better myself:bigthumb: :bigthumb: :bigthumb:
And aslo IMO dry kits are garbage.

well self, mind repeating how much you spent on engine management? if i remember it was quite a few thousand. that could easily be spent on a turbo kit which would give hp all the time.

whtteg so if i have good compression ratio what else do you make sure before you run nitrous and do you think 160K miles is to much i will probably only run a 55 or 65 every once in a while not every day 10 times a day or anything what do you think i need to buy before i run it and what did you do to prepare for it

Very VERY true...But also couldn't anywhere near 250rwhp:bigthumb:
But yea, my build is definately not for everyone. My only real point in this was to see exactly how far I could take the stock crank, rods, and pistons(rods went away on a 175 shot). To get the equivalent hp from a turbo or supercharger setup, it would have cost significantly more.
As long as your engine is sound and running strong, I say go for the nitrous. Get a kit from a reputable brand with all of the bells, whistles, and safety features you want. Make sure you have a good install, rather you do it yourself, or have a pro do it, and you'll be set.

I don't see what the big deal is? I heard NOS even b/f that horrid ricer fantasy came out. NOS or N.O.S. Nitrous Oxide System.........aren't they all fucking Nitrous Oxide Systems. Whats the big fucking deal. It may be company name but its still an abbreviation. No beef I just don't see the problem.

As for nitrous I'm not a big fan, go turbo, other that that I say listen to self or whtteg. Then both seem to have cars that utilize N20 with ease.

PS- OT- SELF can you ban someone in that LS VTEC thread? I think you know who? And did he give you his number?
