Default weak sleeves on a 6th gen????

ok. a freind of mine told me to do a search to find out if the 98 accord (f23a1)
has week sleeve and whether or not to run nitrous. i will only do a 55shot, maybe a 65, but who knows.

does anyone here have a dry kit and have you had any problems??

Very nice,.....doing 135 mph with the check engine light on....
Not to mention you want Nitrious also...

My friend has a 55 shot Zex kit in his accord and he hasnt had any problems...
He only flips the switch when hes on the highway and in 5th gear already. He kinda doesnt beat on the car cause he doesnt want to blow the engine nor replace his clutch yet.

He barely uses it and doesnt abuse it.
From the looks of it if your driving that fast on the interstate and want nitrious you better do some work on your engine so you wont blow it up.

Also, I heard nitrious sucks on auto trannies.

If you plan on beating on your engine, better work on it so it won't blow up on you.

Off topic, but I saw your cardomain site, and you car would look a lot nicer with the pinstripes removed.

75 shot should be the highest you should go.

Make sure you're running on 93 octane gas, retard your timing (cam gear), and colder spark plugs. You should be set, if your car is in decent condition.

run premium fuel, retard ignition timing not cam, run colder spark plugs.

ive been running a 75 shot for like 2 yrs on my f22, just dont be an idiot. and spraying in 5th gear or under 3000rpm in 1st is not a good idea.
