Nitrous Oxide Pros/Cons Questions and Comparison

[k3rnel]

hey

i am wondering what the pros/cons of n2o is and what the maximum safe boost i can achieve on a stock 4 cyl. engine.

also, what type of system should i install?

what kind of company should i go with? NOS, Zex, NX?

thanks for your help.

Plese use the Search (top right) function...just type in nitrous or nos and you'll get pages of results.

Also if you have more specific questions try the forced induction forums either under honda/acura or cars in general

If you use it safetly the only con I can see is having to refil.

don't by n2o in a area where you can't use it, and it's only their for sure. then at sometime you will want to use it when it's not at the right time, a bend in the road ect..

today i found out a racer has it in his car and i almost sh*ted in my pants, as my area shouldn't have n2o at all. if it was me i'd go with NX, just because it looks more stylish with the white bottle.

whaaa

you can paint bottles....would you get a bottle of cologne just because the bottle was white? no you would want function over form right? same with nitrous...

[T-Racer]

well most nitrous is the same, i just like the white bottle better.

[Beyond Imagination]

you can paint a bottle to whatever color you like. you can even put decals all over it of your favorite cartoon character.

[T-Racer]

yea you could, or you could leave the bottle the same as you bought it, that is what i would do anywase. that sounds a bit ricy putting your favorite cartoon character on it lol

I remember awhile back there was a guy with a gold car and a gold painted nitrous bottle that looked like a corona bottle...big style points
