Nitrous Question

Ok I Have Decided To Drop A Zc Into My Crx. The Thing I Want To Know Is What Would Be The Safest Shot I Could Put In With Alot Of Power. And I Know It Would Be Better In A B Series But I Cant Afford That Right Now. Maybe My Next Project. I Was Thinking 50-70 Shot Would Be Good But I Had A Friend With A B16 Non Vtec That Was Running A 75 Shot And Blew A Couple Of Head Gaskets. Please Help Me Guys. Thanks

Never heard of a B16 non-vtec. Maybe he didn't have vtec hooked up... :dunno: Or maybe it was a B18a1/b1?

As far as nitrous... :dunno:

im not sure it was a stock 90-93 integra. you guys would know more than i would. but for the nitrous question i forgot to add that the engine was stock. and i read up on another zc in a crx the guy said he could run a 70 shot all day

it all depends on how you tune the motor. if its tuned for nitrous then it should hanlde, if not then run alittle less.

my friend had a b16 4th gen and he was running a 65 shot, and he made so much passes and the motor held up but he had his fuel and timing down so it was safe. if your worried about blowing the motor then run just a 50 shot

yes the zc will hold a 70 shot my last crx did just fine as a matter of fact it ran close to a 13.3-13.5. but i had intake, header, exhaust, complete msd setup, b&m fuel pressure regulator. just dont get stupid with nitrous that is most peoples problem in my opinion nitrous is safer than turbo and a supercharger just dont hit the rev limiter while engaging NOS that is probably your friends problem and his car is a b18 not b16. if your gonna do it get the ZEX kit it is the safest NOS kit and easiest to hook up

my brother had the zex kit and ran a 75 shot for 2 years every friday at the track no problems. his engine was completely stock with I/H/E. 14.5sec consistently.

Spend the extra money and tune. With a good tune you will make more power and not blow your motor up.

thanks for all the help. i have decided to go with a 65-75 shot. thanks everyone. anyone know anymore easy ways to add more hp. lets say i have a cold air,nos,p&p, what else. and what do you think to port and polish does. i know about the better flow but how much hp would you say are added on the least amout you can do. thanks everyone again. later

a port and polish by itself wont add that much power, another mod would be a set of cams and a intake mani and tb. that will jump your power up pretty good after its tuned

Yeah p&p won't help you that much, if you were boosted I would say sure go for it. Like killer said get a intake mani and throttle body, or have your stock throttle body bored.

cams would be the next best bang for the buck after your nitrous. Check out the links in my sig for all sorts of zc stuff

ZEX kits have the highest failure rates out of any brand out there.

i call B.S. Out of the 8 people i know at the track that use zex it has never been the problem with any breakdown. in my experience zex has worked 100% of the time without fail.

He's telling the truth. I refuse to run a Zex kit. Try doing some research before you yell BS.

screw reserarch im talking from personal experience.

here's my research though http://www.carreview.com/cat/parts/forced-induction/nitrous-oxide/Zex/PRD_54329_2879crx.aspx
24 reviews final score 4.83 out of 5

Out of the 20+ Zex kits I have seen, installed, and tore out, 7 of those had faulty solenoids. Thats at a minimum of a 40% failure rate. I still will not recommend them to anyone, and will try my hardest to talk anyone out of using them.

never had a problem out of my zex kit but did on a nos kit those damn sylonoids cost alot of money

I know a guy that had a Zex kit, used it once and quit working. The sent it back to Zex, new solenoid. Couple times later, quit again. NX gets my vote.
