There isn't an application specific one for 7thgens, but nos kits really are universal, so the Honda "models not listed" kit should work.

Rep Power: 0 what do you mean there is no wet nitrous kit for civics?
there are no kits for any cars, they are all universal. wet kits are the ones that you guys want to get anyway because they will help keep you from leaning out the motor.

Rep Power: 0 what is this sex kit you speak of? I might be interested.....
j/k. From what I've heard, Zex is the safest of the three major brands, but you have to realize the limits of your engine; Any more than a 50-shot isn't smart, and you have to be smart about using the nitrous. Only in 2-5th gear when you can handle a lot more power.

5th gear is not smart to use it in neither in second because they are the weakest gears
Who said using more than 50 is not smart? if u have enough mods u can shoot more than 50

on one site i saw it said what you said about returnless fuel system this is good for our cars but for the application it says
"for 1996 - 1998 Civic, except ULEV-equipped vehicles, 1999 - 2001 Civic with VTEC/VTEC-E, Venom 1000 nitrous oxide system" so there saying its not for our civics why are they saying this? do you know any other nitrous kit that are designed this way aswell with the returnless fuel system

Rep Power: 0 check this out they got alot of horsepower from this kit man ? they got 60hp from a 50 shot system and alot of torque more than the 50hp it claimed when they heated up the bottle!

Rep Power: 0 That article is 
for one. And I would just like to say that Nitrous is for girls. Why not go the right route and build your motor for turbo and run rediculous amounts of boost. If you JUST did turbo and didnt build your motor, it would still be better than nitrous. You can boost all the time and not worry about filling up a damn bottle.

i think nitrous is bullshit aswell but been thinking about it alot lately
its a 1/3 of the cost of turbo and it is available when i need it and not all the time even like turbo and im not racing all the time and its a daily driver so i think that nitrous would be the best bet for me because turbo burns alot of gas and its always on even when i dont need the power

Rep Power: 0 Nitrous IS the best bang for your buck until you are looking at the 50$ or so that it takes to fill the thing and over time it adds up. Plus, Nitrous has been known as literally the BANG of your motor, whatever floats ur boat. I can see someone who only wants to have power HERE and THERE, but if you want a quick reliable car........

i've had no problems with my zex kit, have ran 4 bottles of 55 shot, everything is still going good. It cost me 35 bucks to refill the bottle all the time but if you bring it to a shop you have the option to put how ever much nitrous you want in there, so you could only buy 3 pounds for only like 10 bucks which would give you a few runs.
Anyways i need to find smaller nitrous jets as i am turbo'ing my car on the 25th this month, gonna see how turbo + nitrous goes, or i just might run my turbo at higher boost and just use the nitrous on emergencies LoL.

Rep Power: 0 You may only filll it up a few pounds.....but then you wont be gettting the same power out of a full bottle and wont be getting the same pounds of pressure. I'm not tellling anyone that nitrous is wrong and you're all wrong, I'm just saying its not the route I would go. I've actually had an NX kit on my car and it damn near blew up on the 1/4 mile.

Rep Power: 0 55 shot with zex you would be safe, ive ran 4 bottles through a hx d17a6 with stock internals, the motor is in execellent condition. you could easily run more than 4 bottles through the d17.
