This is how i plan to eat imports...

 

okay im lost

 

awesome. make sure u don't give out licence plates ....and don't get carried away with the spray...

 

nice....is it 75 shot?wet?dry?
i'd use that with extreme caution...lol

 

NOS wet kit 55 shot but for those friday nights ill use 75....lol

 

what track do you go to?

 

pulling any timing with that 75 shot? running colder plugs? looks really close to the TB

 

so how much hp does that give you?

 

u can beat a stock civic w/o nitrous

 

dude you pay $500 for a Nos kit (yeah i called it a Nos kit) and you cant pay $250 for a CAI

Um... Beating a Civic is nothing to brag about?

 

If you are going to be proud enough of your wet-kit install to take pictures, at least take the time to dress up the hoses. Route them instead of letting them flop around wherever they want, it looks terrible the way it looks right now. Clean up that teflon tape while you are at it as well.

 

one word, snap!

That's what your motor will do if this setup is not properly adjusted. 75 Wet shot on a 2.2L w/o forged internals is asking for your piston rings to fry because the setup is too lean and a cracked head. Use with extreme caution. I bet that doesn't put anymore power down then a SS/SC would on a normal given day at WOT full boost.

 

ooh, lets hope nothing happens, cause then when you want your motor fixed, the dealer wont do it for free... hehe

 

The GM build book suggests a maximum of 75 on the 2.2L

yea, which is better for the money?
$250 for 10hp?
or $500 for 75hp?

i woulda installed it to be sneakier, but oh well
make sure you run colder plugs and tune that

 

Just because you can put 75 on there doesn't mean you should.

 

Agreed

 

i've heard of engines going with only a 35 shot so good luck with that

 

Thats because it wasn't setup right. Most motors unless they are frail can handle at least a 50 shot. Not that I would recommend using Nitrous to begin with but use small amounts.

 

I can't believe you need nitrous to beat Civics! Those are so slow unless you drop a 2.2L or a Type R engine. I don't know how many times I've seen a 1999-2000 Civic Si with a header, intake, exhaust, and VTEC controller barely crack a 15.9! Goes to show how torques they really are. I used eat Civics all the time in my Neon R/T with just an intake.

 

Man, none of yall know what the **** your talking about. Just because ya'll have no experience with nitrous doesnt mean anyone doesnt. if you havent used it before, dont say anything, because the ecotec is extremely capable of handling a 75 no problem. The ONLY, and i mean ONLY way motors blow on nitrous is from not being hooked up right.

 

as a request would you mind recording a video of your car, closeup, purge, run, flyby... etc. im just interested as im sure many others are... and you said it was only $500? cool.

 

yes nitrous is safe, as long as you 1. have it hooked up correctly 2. Have it all adjusted correctly. 3. Stay within reasonable bounds of the motor.

I had a dry kit on my old 01 Z24 and was running a 35 shot, and never had any problems. That car was quick to. Cams, Header, intake, nitrous, fastest 1/8 et was 9.1@77..

Good luck

 

Thanks for agreeing with me guys.... the ss owners that are getting on me about it are up set that they spent $23,000 and I only spent 12,000 and have the same power output.. lol
