nitrous or not?
 

i got a d16z6 in my 93 si hatch right now with headers, i was planning on going turbo but ive decided to sell my turbo kit and eventually get a b series (probably sometime in february or march) but im pretty strapped for cash right now and i dont want to spend to much more to make my d series faster, would nitrous be a good way to go? Anyone nitrous'd a sohc can you lend some info? The kit i may be getting is a zex if that matters. thanks for the input

Just leave it stock and save your money if you want to swap a b-series motor in.

I have used the zex kit on 5 sohc motors. I have run 75 shots on all of them with no problems but you have to buy additional parts that you will need anyway. You need a b&m regualtor,zex plugs,fuel gauge and fuel pump. The best time I got out one of these set ups was a 89 crx hf w/ a jdm d15b vtec swap running a 60 mm throttle body and one of my ported intake manifolds and bolt ons. Car ran a 13.20 at 103 at LACR on 20 inch slicks. It's a great economical route that works.

i was also thinking of gettin gnos, i have a 89 crx si, with a ZC, if i were to get all thoes extra mods and run 75 shot, what do you guys think my time would be?

I ran a 75shot dry zex kit on my 155K mile D15b2 for about a year ( 9 bottles ), and never broke or hurt anything !!
I have/had the factory 155K fuel pump, injectors, and B&M FPR. Even had factroy exhuast and manifolds.

$375 shipped for it, if your interested ( includes bottle warmer, and pod mount nitrous presure guage ).

Even if you don't buy my kit, the zex kit really requires a bottle warmer since it adjusts the fuel via bottle presure ( IE: more bottle presure = nitrous, more nitrous = more power. ).
The bottle warmer go for about $120 new.

My friend ran a 50 shot on his consistently till he got rid of his. It was a 95 Si, stock d16z6, nothing built, ghetto rigged intake, thats about it. Should be fine.

well said. the better condition the z6 is in the more u can sell it for too. :)

Re:nitrous or not?
 

i have a NOS 75 shot in my garage and there is no way iam going to go nitrous again...
Too expensive. i had to refill the bottle like every 3 day
rather save your money, its soon winter anyway so there wont be need of soo much power anyway.
her in poland i'll soon have to get my winter tires out :-[ :-[ :-[

Re:nitrous or not?
