^^ going on that.
since the automatic has only 4 gears, i would assume its ONLY safe to spray in 2nd and 3rd?? Not only that, we wouldnt have to worry about spraying in the wrong gear besides 1st, becuase when we floor it The tranny automatically downshifts, RIGHT??

so to sum it up for automatics, the only things we really need to have / worry about is:
-- not spraying in first
-- having a window switch

is that all? feel free to correct / add

If you're a butt monkey when it coems to mechanics or wiring, then have someone do it for you. You'll be better off.

Purge kit is usually purchased separately from a n2o kit and they WILL have separate switches. Depends on where and who you buy it from.

BTW...gauges go for like 45-50 bux on ebay. that's ur price range. Get an in cabin n2o gauge and an a/f gauge (wideband is better, but narrow band is less expensive).

Wrong. You CAN spray in first. and you DONT need a window switch.

Window switches are for those people who have a habit of or are scared of redlining too much, too often, or spraying at too low of an RPM. I don't see what's so hard about lookin at the tach before you spray?? Window switches are for people that want like an "added safety feature". But you don't NEED it. All you have to do is watch ur RPM's. Simple as that.

And you can spray in first. Hell i did it all the time at the track. Launched the car with the nitrous activated (then again i have a manual). I don't recommend it on the street "much" because you will have no traction whatsoever. If you're automatic then it doesn't matter because most if not all of your races will be "rolling"races...that is...if you want any advantage/traction whatsoever.

I know you shouldn't spray for more then 15secs, which is less then it should take to do a 1/4 anyway but how long should you wait in between these 15secs?

like would nitrous be suitable for circuit, like if you got the a/f,n20 guages and like oil temp and oil press, and water temp to monitor all your s#!t so you dont over do it.

anyone w/7thgencivic runnin nitrous for circuit that I could talk to?

My friend is runnin a Si/SiR Turbo on the circuit and I am not sure if the n2o will cut it
I just want to keep up with him.

I got another question if you are equipped w/remote opener and you have the bottle closed and the system off can you just turn it on at any time like when your moving and spray or do you always have to be at a stop when you activate the system?

thiscrackerntam

You can turn it on at ANY given moment. Whether you're moving, or at a stand still, does not matter. Thats the whole purpose of the remote bottle opener. To open the bottle at anytime, even if its out of arms reach.

X-R8ED

What about the first question/s?

thiscrackerntam

From what I understand, the 15-20 second rule is there not because your engine cant handle it, but because the solenoids are usually only designed for intermittent use. Using them for any amount of time beyond that can ruin them. Even if you could use it for longer than 20 seconds, you probably wouldnt want to because of the loss of pressure inside of the bottle. How long do you think you're gonna need to be spraying for? If its for an extended period of time, you will probably end up running the bottle empty. Nitrous is most useful in drag racing IMO.

i hate for my first post to be me correcting someone, but it bothers me when people are misinformed. When you said that there is no supercharger for the 7th gen, that was a little broad. Maybe you said this because the majority of the members dont have an Si? The 02-04 Si (EP) is considered 7th gen civic and has a Jackson Racing supercharger available for it. Just thought i should clear that up... sorry if i offended anyone.

I want a quick fix for these cars that barely beat me.

I would like to know times people are running at the track w/ and w/o their bottle and what shot they are running

thiscrackerntam

I ran a 14.4 in the 1/4 with a 2.3 60ft time slip on a 75 shot, NX wet kit with a stock clutch slippin and some dead drag radials. Those who know me on this forum probably already know this. Its nothing new. If you're looking for a quick fix on a stock block that is cheap to install and easy to win from a dead stop then nitrous is the way to go, but if u want a good overall increase in daily driven power on a stock block then turbo is the way to go, but you still wont be as fast as some of the other honda's with swaps already done that all already match the same torque-to-weight ratio N/A as you are already carrying with your turbo. In other words..if u dont plan on rebuilding the D17 and u just wanna win some from a dead stop then go with nitrous, but if u want more effiicient power across the board on a daily basis then go turbo.

Great thread btw...lots of great info...thanks to everyone that contributed...
now for my question...for spark plugs...are the IK20's the proper plug to use?? Thanks!!

SpdRcrChk

iTrader: (6)

Just use the NGK Copper plugs, one or 2 steps colder. They're cheap and they work well w/the n2o

What's up with the zex dry kit is any one running it on there car. I found one for 200.00 and its almost new is that a good deal should I get it. Its a complete kit with 3 different jets. and if I do get it can I use it on the stock air box any info on dry kit will be helpfull thanks

From what i hear dude the dry kits are WAY too dangerous. Running a danger of having an uneven about of nitrous in each cylinder plus the issue with the factory fuel pump not being able to supply the extra needed fuel, if i remember right something about our injectors or SOMETHING thats has a return feed..........meaning the extra fuel would be routed back to the tank or pump. Then that would cause ur engine to run lean (i think) and lean+nitrous-->BOOM! Long story short, me and coutless other 7thgen-ers would HIGHLY recommend a wet kit. The extra needed fuel gets mixed and atomized in the spray in your intake runners. Wet kits are a little more pricey, but would you rather spend a few extra hundred dollars or a few grand replacing your engine? If i'm wrong or too vauge about anything above then somebody please correct me. Oh, and yes, if you still do stick with the dry kit then yes, you can intall it onto your stock airbox, but most peeps would recommend on upgrading your intake.

K, i got a question. I understand that with nitrous i shouldn't have any ECU upgrades or the Venom 400 or anything else that advances the ignition timing, but would other engine mods like a crank pulley, or undrive pulleys put my engine in risk?? Some insight would be very helpful

03civicdx

do i just run my wet system from the inlet fuel line and t it off or do i need to do anything else?

will I have trouble passing smog on my 2004 Civic here in California if I have a ZEX nitrous kit installed in the car at the time of the somg inspection?

thiscrackerntam

I wouldnt think so, not unless you plan on using the nitrous while they're doing their emissions test.

Chris3k2

so will denso IK20's work and if not what spark plugs are compatible besides the copper ones. A lot of people around here say that the platinum tips or whatever are better than using copper or nickel. Does that just apply for stock cars or for cars with nitrous too??

thiscrackerntam

NEVER use platinum tips with nitrous. Use ngk instead of denso for nitrous.
