Nitrous Question
Again, that suggestion is for frequent usage on stock manifolds...
For example, a guy with a ZC didn't pay attention when I made that suggestion to him when he liked to spray 2 or 3 times a day. The engine lasted about 2 months.
Not everyone is so crazy on the button, but still...

The biggest problem spraying on a honda isn't how much nitrous it can handle. The reason this is a problem is because stock honda intake manifolds have an air bias problem that starves cylinder #3, which will fry the rings first if sprayed on frequently, or too high of a shot.

Yeah, for some reason it's a common problem with a lot of Honda engines. It's usually resolved with individual throttle bodies or an aftermarket intake manifold though, which leads me to believe there's some issues with plenum design Honda never tried to perfect...
I have found that the "problem" is the most noticable on D-series engines though. It's still there with the B-series, but not quite as bad it seems...

it does depend on the motor design. H series motors have a starvation problem on cylinder 4
Well, I also don't deal in *just* Hondas
Besides, if we know the weaknesses, we can build to correct them
But yeah, I for one am not hear to rave about Hondas being the greatest in the world. I like my Honda, but everything has shortcomings.

i love my little honda, every car from now on will be probably a honda of some sort, i have my opinions and i guess honda's are in my blood
yes every car will have some problems.. no car's engine is INVINCIBLE. in fact i cracked my exhaust gasket
and my O2 went and still is bad, and i need to replace that, but other than that my engine is pefecto! btw does ANYONE know where to get an EXHAUST GASKET (HEADER TO THE CYLINDER HEAD) ??? for cheap?

I see lots of bad info in this thread, so let me help clear some up. The biggest problem with spraying is that most people are complete idiots, and try to spray way too much, don't run the correct plugs and ignition timing, hit the rev limiter while spraying, spray way too long for one period of time, or lots of times in succession. A dry kit is not a fogger, a fogger refers to a nozzle that sprays a "fog" nitrous and fuel mixture. A dry kit is perfectly fine for a 75 shot or less, and in fact is better than a wet kit. With a dry kit you can tap the nozzle further from the throttle body so the nitrous has a better chance of thoroughly mixing with the intake charge. Another problem with single fogger wet kits is that the fuel can potentially puddle in the intake manifold and ignite, causing an intake backfire. I've actually seen a few cars catch on fire from this. Direct port is definitely the safest way to go, but over a 75 shot. The jet sizes on a direct port kit for a 75 shot and less are much smaller than that of a single nozzle kit, because each runner has a nozzle...so in essence each jet would be 1/4 the size on a DP kit. This makes it very easy for a jet to become clogged with debris....clog a fuel jet, say hello to detonation, and goodbye to a motor.
So for your application, I would recommend a dry kit. I went with the Zex kit because I didn't want to go over a 75 shot...I have had no problems with it at all.
