Super-Safe Nitrous Set-up

Okay I'm thinking of running nitrous on my AUTOMATIC 2005 Civic, its an LX i believe.

I want a really safe set-up so that theres little to no chance of blowing it up so im thinking that if I do these mods then i will be fine, feel free to critique me because I need people with experience and such

< 75 shot wet nos kit ( leaning towards zex)
bigger fuel injectors ( rsx ? maybe bigger?)
new pistons ( dezod's? )
intake
exhaust
header
controller ( ive seen this where it wont let you spray in first OR under a certain rpm OR if your not in WOT )

My car is totally stock at the moment other than sound system.

I really hate to burst your bubble here but you lost the whole safe thing with the first word of your post "Automatic" You should be more worried about your trans than your engine. On an auto the very most I would recommend would be a 50 shot. Even that amount will probably shorten the life of your trans. Engine wise you wont need injectors or pistons with anything up to a 75shot. Also add colder spark plugs to that list. check out the n20 faq

if u pick the zex wet kit is adds all the fuel u need......when i had nitrous in my old car i ran it in a way with a wideband o2 sensor so that if the car went lean it shut off the nitrous(i had and bottle opener)and it wouldn't turn the bottle on until it was fixed.

Maybe think about investing a new fuel pump as well to make sure you always are able to supply enough fuel.

Automatic's aren't the best choice for power in our cars. Talk to some of the automatic turbo guys though. Tnaaf is the first one that comes to mind and ask him what all he's done.

how about what I did with 16 psi of boost on an auto I built my tranny with the tci kit and switched to redline fluid otherwise you better just do a manual swap if you really want alot more from it
