gee if you drop a gallon of water in your intake the motor seems to suck it right up, i dont think you will have an issue with particulated nitrous streams. thats an old mustang theory because of the zig zag manifold, i have been using nitrous for over 10 years and have never had a single problem out of it, other than kit maintenance
Well after what happened to me I know it can happen so believe what you want...Please tell me how else my nitrous/fuel mixture ignited in my manifold and cause it to blow my filter off and throw flames from out of my intake?

As far as mounting the bottle the right direction I have it done in my teg and it really wasn't that big of a problem...If I had pictures I would post but it will fit between the wheel well and the back of the car on either side....

thats from either incorrect timing or valves being worn the fuck out, or valves mis adjusted, i would say timing though......if you have too retarded timing it ignites in the header, or in my case turbo manifold and would cause a turbo to prematurely wear out. if you could actually show me a spot in any honda manifold where some fluid will stay stagnant i will be amazed.. a clean NOS nozzle should be able to shoot nitrous 15 feet almost and the nitrous sprays thru the gas port which atomizes the fuck out of it, so its not like a gas hose or anything. remember it has 900psi behind it, that will pierce skin bro.

This is what john told me when I was talking about running my 75 shot...

Again, an intake manifold was designed to distribute air, not fuel, if you get puddling and have a nitrous back fire, it won't be pretty
and that's exactly what happened...

well i'm not running a 75 shot, i'm running a small ass 60 shot. the way i have mine running into the intake, i could see it pooling on the intake pipping itself, but not the intake mani, let's be realistic, of all my time working on honda's, this is the first time i've heard of nitrous blowing up in the intake manifold, definitely sounds timing related because nitrous doesn't ignite in the absence of what? ________. fill in the blank.
