i am thinking about getting a wet 50 shot for my 01 civic ex 5spd. i was wondering if u guys think it will be a good idea since it has like a little over 90,000 miles on it. i also want my car to last pretty long. thanks

It depends on how conservatively you use it. Every time you spray, it is like taking a sandblaster to your cylinders.

its better to turbo/spray on a higher mileage vehicle. Its more broken in and all the seals are set better. I have 99000 miles on my turbo'd vic and I turbod it about 7 or 8000 miles ago. I hope to get a good amount more out of this

Turbo would be a better idea because you don't always have to boost it up and nitrous just takes life away from the engine or better yet you might as well do i k20 swap and get a new engine and be quick

umm, turbo takes the engines life away too.. your fine with nitrous for cheap power.

I like nitrous on the east coast because we only get to show and race in the summer, so nitrous is perfect, better than driving a turbo Civic in the winter.

i was also wondering if window switches work with our cars cuz i thought i read somewhere they dont or something

yeah a msd window switch would be a smart thing to invest in. And theres tons of people on honda-tech who turbo/supercharge or spray nitrous on mtrs like the d15,d16, b18 etc with over 100,000 miles and stock internals and most of them still havent had any problems. Maitenence and tuning is key though.

well i had nitrous too and even though it wasnt summer just a regular hot day, the pressure already went above 1200 psi

does anyone know what people set there window switches at, i was thinking at like 3,000 rpm then to 6000-6500 rpm. also right now i have a cheap ebay short ram intake, should i get a cold air intake or will that ebay sri be ok. thanks

I just got my MSD digital window switch today, but NX kit did not come yet.
I plan to set my window switch to come on at 4000 and off at 6300. I know when I shift from second to third I am above 4000rpm's. I just need to see if it's the same from 1st to 2nd and from 3rd to 4th. May have to lower it to 3500? Probally need to dyno again to see at what RPMs I'm making the most power.

so the nitrous will shut off at 6300?

yeah because according to the tach that I installed I believe my fuel cut(bad for N20) hits at 6500 and I usually shift right around 6300.

how much did you pay for the window switch? and where did you get it from? I have been thinking about one of those as another safe guard against missing a shif on spray.

Pretty good price for digital I think. This way you can always adjust without having to buy or change chips.
