Dry Nitrous Kit

D1sclaimer · 09-02-2007, 08:33 PM

I just bought an ap1 2000 s2000. I know it has a high compression engine but would a dry 55 shot of nitrous be beneficial for occasional use or would I just be running lean and screwing it up? I just want a little extra umph for cheaper when dragging. I already have the 5122 NOS kit which I bought for my last car but decided to buy the s2k. Should I sell the nitrous kit(never used) or put it on the s2k? Thanks in advance.

I don't know much about NOS. you can find threads on it tho, plus there is always google. I just bought a 2002 with a 75 shot dry set up. I'll be getting it removed and going back to OEM in the next couple of weeks. I've never used it. The previous owner sprayed it a couple of times. I'm having a mechanic check it out for me in the near future, but as far as I can tell the car runs perfect. Pulled the spark plugs and they are a little brown, but no signs of anything bad as far as I can tell. Gonna give the car a full tune up as soon as I get everything back to OEM. I'll post the results. If you are interested in buying the set up, let me know. It looks like a pretty straight forward installation. I personally, don't like the idea of NOS, but it seems to be very economical. I know a couple guys at work that have systems like mine and they seem reliable to me. basically it only sprays at full open throttle when the switch is on. none of that fast/furious hidden button stuff.

i obviously didn't read your post all the way through. didn't see that you already had the set up. the two guys i know have turbo cars (wrx and a evo). they both have 50 shot nos kits. they've owned their cars about the same amount of time around 2 years. no problems that they've told me about. as far as with our high compression being a problem. depends who you talk to. I was talked out of it, because I don't plan on drag racing and if you spray it in a turn, you will most likely spin out or lose traction. My friends seem to like it for drag racing. then again, they don't spray it around town every chance they get. only at the legal races. they haven't blown engines or anything either. they both had to replace their clutches. I think it's okay if you aren't over doing it, and it is set up properly at a reputable shop.

Thanks for the reply! I'm gonna probably ask a couple of mechanics I know first if I decide to use it or not.

Does any one know if this is correct? I went and spoke with a honda tech and he told me that a dry 50-55 shot kit might fool the s2k into cold start mode thus making you lose your vtec, making you lose that pretty redline......... Is this true? Does any one have a dry shot on their spoon??????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !???????????
