i got a stock d17a2 and im thinkin about running nitrous for now till i have money for k swap, but i was wondering what would be the highest shot i can run safely? i dont wanna blow it up, and i heard something about the timing to turn it retard ? now im not really a person that would normally run nitrous i personly dont like it but the car is wayyyyy too slow and ppl have told me just spray it. or should i just leave it stock and save up?

 

I'd just leave it stock and save. Even a second hand kit will cost you around 300+. Besides, on a stock ECU and motor, most engines can only hold up to a 75 shot from what I've seen (some may do more, I dunno). But for something like that, I wouldn't bother. I'd post this in honda tech for a more precise answer on what it could handle, though I'm sure a few minutes with a google search would turn up the answer as well.

And if you do spray it, read up a LOT on nitrous before doing it. You don't seem to know a whole lot about it, and trusting your dumb ass friends with your motor is never a good idea.

 

They listen to this guy.. bro. Some people always love driving slow, they never know the real power of hondas. If you want your car to ride out go ahead and spray it remember stock motors can handle more spray than others because they have never been fucked with.

 

Buy a decent camshaft that will work with stock valvetrain and drop it in. Safest, most reliable way to get another 30ish hp. Assuming you have intake/exhaust.

 

Safe rule of thumb is to spray half as much as what the motor makes stock. Pull back the timing a bit, run premium and get colder plugs. Be sure to have a bottle warmer and a WOT switch.

 

Just be ready to blow the welds on your intake

 

Nitrous isn't full time power so I would just save up for that k swap and tell the people you talked to, to stop watching fast and furious.

 

Dom the nos!

 

i was thinking the same thing

 

Ive watched a neon with the plastic intake manifold take a 200 shot and the intake manifold swelled up so big. lmfao.
