A friend of mine is selling a Zex Dry Nitrous Kit (used), and i am thinking about buying it. Eventually, down the road with the B18, i want to run a 50 shot + turbo.. so i was thinking why not get the nitrous kit now and use it on the D15B7? It has ~140,000 miles on it and runs healthy with the exception of I need to adjust the valves (they make a tick tick tick tick at idle). It has 50, 100, 150, 200 jets and i (obviously) would only be using the 50.. until it came time to swap the B in, in which case i would probably run a 200 shot thru 1st gear and see what happens

I have a D15B7 [93 civic lx], how does this motor handle dry nitrous? Does it have the capabilities to dump enough fuel in? Should I worry about injectors or anything? If i need to modify the D in any way, I won't be doing it.

 

as long as you run colder plugs I dont see a problem with the 50 shot....as far as running the nitrous shot with turbo, I would rec. using the nitrous to cool the intercooler, not runnin it direct shot...thats alot of tuning.

 

unless blowin it doesn't bother u :rick:

 

That is probably what I will be doing, however i wanted to play around with running both.

 

juss be really cautious, and don't push it too hard. as b16 said, that's a lot of tuning. as far as the d15b7, mine used to have like a 150 shot of spray (previous owner was a dumbass) and it handled it well. had 142,000 mi on it when i bought it, and it runs great. juss be careful w/ it

 

50 shot should not be a problem at all with teh D.

 

agreed

 

Be careful. Nitrous is fun but don't get trigger happy with it. I know from experience. And my D motor only had 50k on it. Get some colder plugs, retard the timing, maybe consider some fuel system upgrades and you should be alright. 140k seems a little high though. But hey...it is a Honda. Good luck.

 

isn't wet more reliable and easier to tune?

 

Yeah, but dry takes 2 seconds to hook up.
