Performancecenter.com is selling a NOS kit for my 97 EX 2.2L Vtec. Claims 40-75 hp for $574.19. Sounds like a good deal.

Is anyone familiar with use/installation of this????

You could get a wet kit for that amount.

 

I did soem digging. It looks like Holley (who makes the NOS brand) recommends a dry system of EFI engines. I also search this board and found agreat thread here https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...highlight=NOS. But I'm still not sure how hard the install is....

 

i am sort of biased but i prefer wet kits. im satisfied w/ my NX kit. wet kits are hell of a lot easier to tune, and if you ever want to build your motor and upgrade your kit to a DP or plate system its really simple to convert.

if you want a dry system, the zex dry kit is a really easy kit to install and good for beginners.

the reason i dont like dry kits is because they basically they use your stock EFI system to increase fuel psi to compensate the nitrous. basically it manipulates the FPR vacuum to increase the fuel psi. nitrous is injected independently through the throttle body (assuming this is a single fogger kit) then once in the intake manifold mixes w/ the fuel from the fuel injectors.

i like the idea of having the nitrous and fuel mixed before entering the intake mani. (wet kit) to have a better n2o/fuel mixtures. w/ dry kits theres chances that the n2o and fuel will not mix evenly and too much nitrous is injected to the first or second cylinders causing lean conditions in those cylinders which isnt good over time.

besides NX rates their shots to the wheels where as all the other brand/kits that i know of rate their shots at the flywheels

 

WOW! Thanks! That really helps. I'm looking for something easy to install, that won't require too much tuning, but most importantly, won't ruin my engine.

Clearly the wet kit is the way to go!

 

Zex is a good kit. Very simple to install and rating is very close to WHP. 55 shot = 50WHP gain on dyno

 

If you are looking for something easy to install, Zex dry kit is your best bet.

 

do u have other mods on the motor?

 

Right now, engine has new plugs and wires, the CAI is still in the garage waiting for my lazy ass to put it on. Also, I have Greddy EVO cat back exhaust (Sounds ****ing awesome!!!!). Am thinking of adding pulleys and headers, but I've seen mixed reviews on the HP gains.

Insofar as nitrous is concerned, I know that wet is better for forced induction and I'm planning a turbo at some point.
