Nitrous 101
Ok, I personally think that Nitrous is a cheap-and-easy way to get significant HP gains, but I've been thinking more and more about it lately.
I know that some of you have it on your civics and I'd like some SERIOUS!, realworld replies on this one. NO WHORING!
Please explain the types of kits, manufacturers, prices, positives & negatives of each of the kits and brands.
Thanks fellas! I think a lot of us out here will benefit from a thread like this. :thumbup:

moral of the story... if a car can handle a 70 shot NX then maybe it can handle a 80 shot NOS.. but theres really not that big of a differance..

I have a zex kit but I haven't hooked it up yet. Their kits are real easy to understand and operate. There's only one switch to activate it and then once you're at WOT the boost kicks in.

How would you set up a system with a turbo? I know nothing about the different nitrous systems (wet, dry, fogger...)
I know what nitrous does and the theory behind it, I just don't know how it all applies...
More info.
