from what i have heard the B18's are a better platform for nitrous.

Yes let's hope. I will be putting my ZEX dry kit on soon, with the 55 shot jet. I have I/H/E/clutch/flywheel/plug wires and will be getting colder plugs too. Besides that, just the kit, bottle heater and pressure guage. I think I'll be alright with the stock ignition and fuel pump. My motor is still strong too, based on the track times I've been getting. What do you guys think? I just don't wanna blow my motor like forcfedcivic (by the way, sorry man that sucks).
Also, does anyone know what kind of blow down kit I need? I'm looking at the ZEX ones and they're for internal or external threaded safety ports...anyone know which one I need? Thanks.

you might think enough people have commented on this, but i don't feel that way....pretty much everything has been covered in your skewed perspective of the automobile realm....i just hope you don't diss the wrong person's car and piss them off in the process...you might end up getting gang beaten...

I ran 2 bottles a week the whole summer a few years ago on i/h/e and i never had any problems. I had stock ignition, stock timing and just a zex kit @ 55 shot with the purge kit.
