Default NOS horror story

Just wanted to give you my story, it's NOT typical of honda's and NOS, but...it's what happened to me :-)

My 1995 civic ex had about 90,000 miles on it when I installed an NOS5122 kit. I used it ONCE and it burned the hell out of a valve and sent parts of my spark plug through the engine. I lost all compression in that cylender and shortly after did an engine swap. I for one opted to NEVER run nitrouse again, be it dry, wet or any other way....just don't trust it now :-)

Any way, I will also tell you that I know a lot of guys that run a 50-70 shot on there civics (everything from cx to ex to si) and they have been doing it for a long time in many cases and have no trouble.

Just my .02 sense.
