look you left your application for the nitrous up to us to decide because you didnt specify. obviously it for the track isnt implied anywhere in your post. with the number of idiots out there we cant assume anything. be specific and you will get better answers.

A ZEX kit installed is approx. a $1000?!

Anyone know where to get a cheap turbo kit or supercharger? Is $2000 possible? New of course, must be specific so ppl would understand. Yes, NEW. lol.

seriously for $2,000 why dont you get like a engine swap. just add a little more money. Not making fun of ur car bro, but i dont think you can make alot more HP from a dx motor. you already got the intake exaust and stuff. turbo is gonna be about 70hp more.. thats almost a SIR engine and will cost about the same. Your engine is perfect for the gas prices today. lets put it that way.

hell no.

I sold a brand new NX wet kit for $400 cash.

Theres cheaper prices out there.



As for the nitrous, I planned on doing a 75 shot on my B18C CRX, i wanted to run 12's. But i changed my mind.

Things for nitrous saftey.

-Window switch, incase you bog or hit the limiter it will prevent your engine from blowing up. Due to detonation (bog) or lean (fuel cut)

-Bottle warmer, gotta keep that nitrous at a constant pressure

-Aftermarket fuel pump, walbro makes good stuff, you need more fuel

-Fuel saftey switch, turns nitrous off if fuel pressure drops, prevents lean conditions.

-2 step colder plugs, help keep lean conditions away.

-Clutch, gotta put that power to the ground. ACT makes good stuff.

-Tires, again, power to ground. Azenis work well, or some drag radials.

Again, you dont need any of that stuff, a basic kit will allow you to use nitrous. Remember to read the instructions.


But is it worth it for your car.. Heck NO!

lol..

I was talking new.. you can't pick up a kit for sale like that everyday, but who knows you can wait around and hope and pray that someone else will put one up for sale and grab it then.. depends how fast you need/want it..

I dont like how the power is not always on tap.

and the refilling the bottle is a pain imo. but it is certainley the best bang for the buck.
