$20 per bottle fill, 1-2 bottles a week depending on how nuts you are so lets say 1 bottle a week.

That is almost $500 in a 6 month period.

Nitrous = expensive, people just do not relize it because the upfront cost of a zex kit now days is under $500.

i ran over a 100 bottles through my 96GSR and still had an almost perfect leakdown test, then it go tturbo'd. turbo is what killed it. as for the internals, they were all stock. there are plenty of DOHCs out there running 75+ shots on thier cars, but it isnt used everyday. i only spray my car like once a month. i keep a 5 gallon can of 100 no lead, and just mix in a gallon or so, to keep the fuel nice. i still have the stock FPR. for some reason though, dry kits on hondas dont like to be pushed above 75hp. everyone i have seen do that has either chipped a valve or burned a few up.

i can get it filled for $10 for a 10lb bottle (which is what i have.) I'm not going to go nuts with it at first, i'm gonna ease into it.

Question 1) Why did you mount the bottle facing that direction? Under acceleration it's going to force the nitrous away from the pick up tube.

Question 2) John(mtber) why do you think pulling the power steering is really going to help that much? If this is so I would love to see a dyno sheet to prove it...

Also I personally wouldn't run much more that a 75 shot on a single fogger system because of the chance of pooling in the manifold and also leaning out in some cylinders...
