Default nitrous, all juicers please respond here. . .

I'm thinking about running a ZEX 55 shot on my 94 Accord with 110,000 miles. The motor is in excellent condition and I wasnt planning on doing anything to it aside from new spark plugs and maybe a stronger timing belt. Has anyone else done this? Any opinions on whether it will negatively affect my motor?

Also, where have you guys mounted the bottle on your systems?

I got a 94 accord auto....with about the same miles. First do a compression to see if the motors healthy.

ive been running a 55 shot for 10 months now, gone through 5 bottles. all i got is intake, exhaust,fuel pressure regulator, and tranny oil cooler.

I sometimes got the bottle in the rear seats or in the back trunk.

As long as you do a compression and leakdown test, and the motor comes back as ok, you'll be fine. Might want to get an MSD window switch to shut off the nitrous just before the auto tranny shifts. Since the nitrous is flowing at WOT, you are always at WOT in an auto, even while shifting. It won't negatively affect your motor at all, unless you misuse it. Mounting the bottle in the trunk is your best bet.

thanks JDM, but I'm at school right now and the access to the kind of tools and environment that I would require for that is severely limited. Can a local shop do this for me??

Go buy a compression tester from kragen for cheap, then you can have one whenever you want. All you need besides that is a ratchet, long extension, and spark plug socket. Cheap stuff.
