I would like to know if a NOS kit could cause damage to motor, or at least, reduce his life.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

usually, the way most people use it (improperly), it'll reduce it's life... it ain't gonna blow up the engine after 3 months, but on the other hand, it probably won't last quite 15 years like a Honda should

IMPROPERLY:
~using it too often (made for occasional use, esp on a 1.7L)
~giving the engine too big of a shot (too much N20 being crammed in there)
~having an amateur hooking it up (get a pro to do it!!)

aight... yes you can abuse NOS and blow up your engine. one way is if you allow the shot of NOS to go higher then the rev limitor.... fuel cuts... but NOS doesn't... you can make a mess doin that.... NOS is fine if you TUNE IT RIGHT. so if you don't know what your doing, DON"T BUY IT. you may think its all cool "oh yeah... i squeez NOS baby... im all cool" just remember you also can kill someone if you drive stupid with a full tank in the trunk and hit someone/something the right way... it go boom and you and your "phat ride" are in little pieces. if you need to ask this question, you don't have to have NOS. yourjust a ricer. and PLEASE LOCK THIS UP!!!!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
