Default Nitrous vs turbo

Is anyone running nitrous and what are you opinions on it, nitrous vs turbo?

ZEX Throttle position control nitrous is what im thinkin about.. not just streight push button shot.

And, what potential hazards are there vs turbo

I think it depends on what you plan on doing with the car. NOS is the cheap way to go, but refilling the bottle can get expense. I would turbo it.

I have a ZEX kit & love it. I really wouldn't worry about the cost of filling your bottle over & over, I've used my kit the whole summer & only filled it twice, both at less than 40 bux a pop. If you get a 10lb bottle (standard ZEX size) it should only cost 3-4 bux/pound. also, unlike some of these jackasses that feel the need to have their bottle on while driving on the street ALL THE TIME, i only turn it on for days at the track & the occasional test down a backroad. ZEX rules, but i think I might convert over to their wet kit, i've ran a 65 dry shot w/o problems all summer on my lude w/ 170k miles, though. I'd take the precaution of upgrading to an aftermarket high flow fuel pump. I got my walbro pump for 90 bux, and never worry about running my motor lean.

in tank. They're not hard to install at all, I did it in a friend's driveway right before we went to the track. all Honda/acura tanks have access panels on the top that's accessible under the rear seat/trunk panels so you don't have to drop your tank. I just have the walbro & a generic adjustable fuel pressure regulator & I've got plenty of fuel flow. i'll eventually get a rail & injectors, but for now i'm fine.

NX also makes an automatic kit, much like the Zex.
