Spraying to cut lag?

I know that some other members are spraying on there turbo'd civics. So I was thinking about buying a NX wet kit and jetting it for about 20-25HP. Think that would be safe w/ a max boost of 10 psi?. Im hoping I can use the n2o to eliminate some of my turbo lag.

I don't know about 10 psi. Do you have any internal work? If not I wouldn't recommend going over 6 psi with spraying.

No internals, but Im not going to use it during full boost. I just want to use it to get the turbo spooling quicker.

Awesome, you have the TD kit too right? So does the spray help reduce lag?

a smaller shot like a 35 shot helps cool the intake charge. it's not necessarily to help spool faster. Our turbo's spool fast as well. You're not going to just blow up your motor. You just have to know what you are doing and you have to know how to use nitrous.

BoostedCivicZex can only hope to improve
i need some small nitrous jets like a 30 shot or smaller for a zex kit, tell me if you got any to sell. Gonna use it just to cool down the intake charge instead of what i used to do, for power LoL

The first o2 sensor regulates the A/F ration...dont F*** w/ it. The second o2 is the one that you would hook an o2 sim up to.

no. I mean, do you know which one goes in the front and which one goes in the back. I think one is green and one is black. I don't know if its true or not but I heard that you're not suppose to switch them. We have mine out and someone moved them and I don't remember which one goes in the front or back.

i would not recommend spraying at a low rpm. The cylinder pressure would be extremely hard on your internals.

If you know how to launch the car, you won't have turbo lag either way. All you need to do is build the boost pressure up before you launch and there won't be any lag.
