Best B 4 the B is 50 shot of ZEX!

You don't have to touch anything on your motor, and its a plug and play system.

I used it 4 say 8-9 months, but pulled the system off my motor due to legal issues.

Other than that, may be bolt-ons?

nitrious is BS..it's only there for 14 sec bursts...and on a b16a I don't like it personally..jsut stay all motor or buidl it for boost....get i/h/e then get some cams..you will have to do abunch of upgrades that will all work together..liek good clutch (exedy organic) lightened flywheel (exedy 8 lbs) i/h/e good header liek a dc 4-1 or a dc 421 or a light speed header...then a good exhaust...then soem cams..you will want mild stage 1 cams cause you dont' have crazy compression or want to spin 9500 rpm's

all thsi stuff will add up shodul be in the range of 150-170 whp with a good chipped ecu adn afc tuning

nitrious is lame cause it only comes in burts...it isnt' always there...it's like a hp copp out...you cna only spray a 14-15 sec burst or you will cause over exposure and fry ****....stupid to me...I liek having the pwoer always there so when you jsut feel liek dropping the hammer for a few sec now and gain it is there...I mean who dosen't like dropping the hammer for no good reason soemtimes..not opending the bottle heating it up then spraying it only having to refill the bottle

nitrous is good, however if you don't know how to use it it's bad, i think the best bet is doing a few little things, like cams, computer, and headers those are the best bolt ons you can get relatively cheap. using nos is shaking hands with danger.

but do whatever you want

Regards,

Doug

I didnt ask you, I was asking shlammed because he knows so much about nitrous to make a judgement like that


Like eveything it has its drawbacks of course, turbos being the 6,000+ dollers to own plus maintenence...
