how much nos can safely be used on my civic?

[Lxcivic4u]

i went racing with some friends last night out in the farm country around my town? and a couple of my friends are running nos on their cavaliers and one of them last night tore up his engine and tranny when he tried to use his nos system. and i was wandering how much nos could safely be put on my d16y7 with out causing damage to it, i have over100,000 miles on it. i am hoping to swap out the engine in july with the y8, so if i do blow the engine it will not be that big a deal, but i would like to use the system on the y8 also.

Eh i wouldnt use more than a 50 shot... unless you have other mods?

[civicHBsi91]

upgrade fuel pump/injectors you could safely run a 75 shot, stock everything i wouldent run over a 65

[Lxcivic4u]

what do you mean by other mods? and how are "shots" rated is it by the nozzle size? also how hard is it to install a nos system and which is the best i have been thinking a bout using a ZEX system. has nebody else used this system?

[civicHBsi91]

ide go with a zex kit, yes its rated by nozzle size, zex is probably the easiest kit to hook up, i mean if you have common knowledge it shouldent be that hard for you, but if your really clueless you should let someone do it right so you dont fuk anything up

unless you wanna mod it up dont go over a 50 shot

[kaytec4door]

on a stock motor if it is done right timeing retarded and all i would be hesitent to run a 50 shot

[dannyvd]

if mods it up i would ru a 50 shot are running NOS

How much nitrous do you guys think I can safely use, I have a 99 civic si engine with aem cai, apexi exhaust, and dc sports header with a act stage 2 clutch??

none ... safely used or not nos reduces the life of your engine.

dont use the NOS just chuck a turbo on instead simple

nitrous would be simpler to put on and it would cost way less for the same if not more power, sure its not continuous power but its there when you need it
