Okay once I have the money to get a Nitrous kit
1) which one ZEX,NOS..???
2)what is the approx. difficulty (an evening,day,weekend...???)I do all my own wrench work so far (nothing difficult too difficult belts, hoses, intake, front end, wing etc.)
3) do I need to get special plugs (already have Bosch 4+ paltinums)
4)what gauges will I need (other than bottle press.)
5)How difficult is a purge kit to install?

97 RS, Iceman CAI, Mozart 5" tip muffler,17" Team Loco 134 rims, 225/45/17 sumitomo HTRZ 2 rubber, blitz F.E., ... what would be a safe guess at a 1/4 mile time be

N.O.S. kit #5208. Zex dosen't work for our cars because our TPS dosen't produce enough voltage to activate the kit plus its a dry kit. Since you are a 97 with the OBD-II fuel system you'll need the wet kit which sprays fuel and nitrous.

Shouldn't take anymore than a few hours. Its really not a hard install at all. My buddy and I installed a N.O.S. kit on his Civic in 4 hours.

>paltinums)

One range colder plugs. Aftermarket plug wires wouldn't be bad either.

>4)what gauges will I need (other than bottle press.)

Might wanta pick up a A/F Ratio gauge to go along with your NOS Press gague.

>5)How difficult is a purge kit to install?

Purge kit is an easy install from what I've seen, but I haven't installed one myself. Everyone says its pretty easy.

Good Luck.
