Nitrous tends to break ring lands on honda motors and they don't like it that much. also with a Dry shot you are taking a big chance. do some research and spend the 5 grand better next time.
PS if you didn't build the motor what the hell did you spend 5k on
Cause I did something alittle bit different then most.. And i the things i did which were the following..
Bought a 1999 ITR motor. Swapped heads with a 1995 B18C, (reason for OBDI)
easier to tune a OBDI ecu
Also switched out trannys to a GSR with LSD
Headers, IM, hondata gasket, fully tuned ecu, no exhust and a excedy stage 2 clutch.
About to install Crowner springs and retainers.
New skunk2 valves(need adjusting too)
Thats basically my 5k i SPENT on the motor..
I bought the motor for 4300 and sold the itr head for 500, everything in the head included..so if you wanna get techincal i spent lets see..9300 on this car so far?? But some may say wow THATS ALOT AND A WASTE, but it wasn't for me.. i wanted to be different who's seen a all motor honda go 14 seconds with a mid to low 13 second trap speed.. its hard to come across and nitrous just makes my goal of 12's closer..i'm sure on slicks i'd have no problem reaching 13.9 13.8.
