I think someone fitted a kit once but don't think they ever used it.

Let us know how you get on and make sure you post videos and photos

Unless you have a very very good tuner i would suggest you to avoid the nitrous kit if you don't want to look for a new engine. At least this is my opinion

Hi mate,

I ran a 75 bhp shot on my Integra Type r with no problems at all.

I used a wet kit, and the car responded very well to it. The kit itself is easy to fit.

I ran a Wizards of NOS kit, and i would highly recommend them. Very good products and very helpful guys too.

I will shortly be installing the same kit on my S2000.

I have seen 2 different nitro S2000 failing here in Greece tuned by expert tuners on S/C and turbo S2000. But their experience didn't help either. Also depends on each owner usage for sure and it's not only tuners responsibility. I was not intending to put the guy off just suggested a nitrous guru tuner.

Yeah but at least if you have it, you can kiss your Vin Diesel guns when you've smoked the fastest car in your town

Seriously though, with minor use, would Nos really cook your engine with a few blips of wet delivered gas? I guess its cheating your way to boost without all the turbo plumbing and worries. ... Hmm, like a secret weapon at the lights!
