1. These kits ive seen while scrolling through ebay have a little canister in which you put a pre bottled 20/30 shot little cartrige into a cracker like mechanism when you pull the trigger it cracks open the sealed bottle and blasts nitrous wherever you run the line. If it is as simple as sticking one of those cartridges into a cracker and pulling a trigger blasting a direct 20/30 shot right into my intake tube thats a blessing for me. But it seems to good to be true my question is are they safe and do they work.

2. And one more question on the manifold near the throttle boddie around back there are 3 ports for vaccume lines and one of them is just plugged up would it be safe to send the shot right into that port or would that not allow enought distribution time to make sure it reaches all 4 cylinders.

Basically i am asking if thats all there is to it, you just shoot nitrous into you intake pipe and thats it, there isnt any tuning with A/F ratios required or ECU tuning or chipping needed. I know what nitrous does and i know how the big more expensive systems work but do nitrous systems require any A/F tuning as well, or is at easy as just sticking a Co2 like canister(yah know the ones made for BB guns) filled with a 30 shot of nos and just fireing , please help me out on this before i try it and blow up my head,manifold seals etc.I have always wanted this car and i finally saved enough to buy one i just dont want to f it up ive only had it a month.- Thanks again

I have never seen or heard of anything like that. So it's like a BB gun cartridge but with nitrous instead of Co2? Sounds kinda like a "sneaky pete" kit, but even smaller/more useless. I say just save up for the real thing because I doubt you'll even notice a difference. Usually, cheap = crap.

 

Thanx and does anyone know what that extra plugged up vaccume line port is-Its located next to the TB on the back of the intake manifold. There are three ports 2 of them have vav lines running somwhere but one of them is just plugged up could i possibly run a vaccume guage from that port or just stick with a t splice running from the FPR. Thank you if any one can help me out with this question

 

why do you want NOS in your prelude its a waste of money u dont neeed it unless u have a drag one wich i dont think u do.

 

Sounds like there is no Fail safe mechanism and no shut off either! From what you said it does sound a bit low-tech and it does seem to be a better idea to save up and buy a kit with all the accessories and controllers. It's not as easy as spraying N2O gas down the intake otherwise all the expensive controllers and kits wouldn't exist!
The long and short of it however is that when it is sprayed in the intake it will eventually reach the cylinders, breaking down in the compression and temperature extremes forming a mix of Oxygen, Nitrates and other compounds when it combines with fuel. The Nitrogen aids to prevent detonation / knocking but the power comes from the Oxygen. You will need some sort of ECU / Fuel map if you want to run high power nitrous as the extra Oxygen makes the ECU request extra fuel: Hence a bigger bang and more power from the charge! If the ECU hits a limit it will run lean.....
