NOS?? too many miles for it?

[9-deuce]

My TEG was pretty much a virgin when I bought it a month ago, stock ls (i think) I put a intake, plugs/wires, cam gears and will have header back xaust in the next couple weeks. It has 181k on it and runs like a rape date. My buddy works for a local performance shop and has a nitrous express kit for a ungodly cheap price, he said it's the kit with the spacer plate. the only problems with the car are 1. the first to second shift is tough when shifting at redline, it kinda doesn't wanna go into gear easily and grinds 2. my passenger side cv boot is torn completely off
Would this NO2 kit destroy my car altogether?

Well 181k miles is a lot to be running N2O, but Im sure you could squeeze another 10-20k miles out of it running nitrous, and once the motor blew you could just swap in a B16 or something for like $1500. I dunno if you wanna do that, but its just a suggestion.

ya I'm kinda new to imports--how complicated is the swap..I know its everyday shit to you guys, Does it bolt right in, change the electronics and go or what ?? Does anyone ever swap in the 1.7 motor in the Gen 2 integras, or is the b16 better to build on?

To tell you the truth, Im not a big expert on swaps.

Check this thread here, it should have almost everything you need, but it is for civics so there may be some things lacking.

well it is possible but you need to make sure all the maintance has been done on time for the life of the car. I f someone was a poor maintance person then stay away from the juice. I personaly would rebiuld before using nitrous, maybe new rod bolts, main cap bolts, bearings, rings, oil pump, water pump, head bolts and valve seals. Some of that stuff really does not matter for nitrous like the valve seals but if you have it torn apart then you might as well do those as well.

ya I think I wanna buy a motor and and build it on a stand so I can do the swap quick and minimize down time. any links to places where I can buy a motor for a good price.

jdmhondaparts.com

Thepartstrader.com

Those are the two i look at. I found jdmhondaparts sells on thepartstrader.com they sell some really cheap engine with the tranny ecu they also give you that startup warranty and i think 1 year warranty on it the engine have less then 45k on them and they are pressure washed.

Hope that helps
