this is my car.

I would like to fit nitrous oxide into her, now my question is.......will my standard 1.8i motor handle this sudden power boost, or should i change my cars pistons and conrods?

If so, where can I byu parts for her, this is a 94 model, and ill have to be able to import them

Please help on this....!

Your best bet would be a ZEX kit. It is a complete kit wet or dry for around 800 CAD. They make it specifically for your car. On a Honda DOHC you can run 75hp shot safely if your car has under 150,000km on it. Check around the net for one. The bottles are what cost the money. They are around 400-600 bucks new so just buy a kit.

yeah I agree, but I'd use a 50 shot to start, cuz we don't know what quality of gasoline you guys get and how high your compression ratio is.

also, make sure it's a WET KIT, regardless of what you get.

ZEX, NOS, Nitrous Works are all good kits, but make sure it's a WET KIT
also would be good to make sure you have 1 or 2 step colder plugs.

TheModFather

for 50 hp get 1 step colder plugs!

Thanx, i was going for a wet system, its not too expensive, about 4500 buck for a full kit with a 60 shot bottle.....empty.... but still rather cheep.

ok....here we have 95 leaded, and 92 unleaded, my car runs on 95. Compretion ratio on her is 9.1, but I know Ill have to drop it a but. Only thing is, what tipe of parts to get, and where to get them.......

parts for honda's here are verry expensive, and even harder to find, so my best option would be to import......

to get a good idea of a great place to buy nitrous systems, go to summitracing.com

get ZEX or NOS brand name system

leaded gas?? I dunno if that messes anything up
as for your compression, it's okay for a 50-75 shot of nitrous

start small, go big

imported_flex2003

no more than 50 shot, get some plugs fuel pressure reg., better plug wires, better to be safe than **** your motor

dont ever put a drop of leaded fuel in your engine! Your cat converter will plugg up in no time, and all your sensors kaput! Also the fuel injection system was never designed to handle the lead.

I just did a google search on leaded gasoline

I didn't know that leaded gasoline was still used in US (off-road), Africa, Latin America.

A cheap way to increase the octane #, but with deadly results.

imported_gatherer

it's also still used in racing fuels as well...

My car doesnt have a cat corverter. The reason is, that when these models came out in production here in SA, it wasnt necasary for them to have one in.

So, the manufactures decided that the converter and sensors had to go. Thus redesigning the whole fuel injection system, and installing injectors that can handle the fuel.

and Yea......leaded gives lots more power, and here, it costs the same as unleaded.........

Thanx for the help guys, I found a system, and it will be fitted at the end of this month.....

**** thats cheap to u ?

who said 4500? 400-500 maybe

Well the Best mod you can do with Nitrous without doing over your bottom end is Ignition Mods. Get an MSD or Jacob's or whatever. Something that can retard a few degree's when Triggred. You set it to retard your Timing a Degree or two when your Nitrous is activated. That and a set of Colder plugs. And don't ever put Nitrous on a Car that has a Chip in it. Because Nitrous Explode's faster and More Violently advanced timing will make your motor go KABOOM!!!.And chips advance timing for more power and Response. An Aftermarket Ignition Box is good insurance for a Nitrous motor. Good luck with that. I also Recomend Nitrous Express Kits. Zex is good as well though. Never go with a Dry kit. People claim there better for a small shot but I wouldn't trust them. a Wet kit will always give you the proper amount of fuel. Fuel enrichment in a Dry kit is a black art. Bumping the Fuel pressure for the Shot!!! I don't ****ing think so, stay away from dry kits.

hey.....you should just conver the dollar figure to rand, and then youll see that its rather cheap for us here....

also, I wanted to fit a a set o billet cams, but the gurus here did not recomment it......

hell....she pulls bad....M3......kiss my ****

I dunno what kinda cams you have in your engine now.... but yeah, we have TONS of cams that are used with great success here. Some of them require better valve springs and valves though
