Spray in the mean time?

I want the good ol Civic to go fast like everyone else, but money issues are always there, my question is should I save a little find a spray kit in the mean time, or just save that cash to get a nice turbo?

IMO save the money for a turbo.... although more expensive up front in my opinion it's more satisfying in the end and more consistent/reliable.

Kits are only safe depending on how you use them. Basic kits really won't give you the amount of horsepower they claim per shot unless you use all the accessories like a bottle warmer ect. But it will give you power, and well known company should work fine just look at prices.

The thing you really have to ask yourself is what's your ultimate goal for the car and do you think NO2 can do that for you or would a turbo make more sense. For instance what are your hp goals what do you use the car for. How often would you use the nitrous if you had it. Grant it there are maintenance costs with boost as well as nitrous but I know guys using a bottle every coupla days. At 20 bucks a fill they could have paid for that turbo in a year to two.

NX Nitrous Express Wet kit is the one I have.

I have had no problems with my kit at all and feel that it is safe.

I had n20 and was not that much of a fan. Its cool to show people and use once in a while, but street wise its pointless unless you set up a race. Also, if you get a remote bottle openenr and use it non stop, your motor wont last long. Save for turbo IMo.
