I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on the use of nitrous. Fair, not fair, cheap, legit. I was just wonderin.
She's a good car. But it's time for me to move on. I'll miss her more than anything but my next car will have the same heart with the same passionate drivers. I hope things workout best for the both of us.

Nitrous isn't cheap, by any means. When all said and done, a good system will probably be in the $1200+ ballpark.
It's all in the tuning, and what the internals can handle. To "safely" run respectable amounts of nitrous one would need:
1. New pistons and rods 2. New stainless steel valves 3. Catalytic converter delete option with decent exhaust 4. New axles 5. Access to a wideband
Hmmmm, I have all of these things...
If you're tuning with boost in mind, find a way to force the wastegate open and tune the car with nitrous "normally aspirated" then add boost after it's tuned properly.
Most people go with n20 becuase they cant afford much else...I mean not everyone had 3500 laying around for a turbo kit....
So they pay 650 bux for the for NOS kit...But in the end, you will blow up...You will end up eating your rings, busting a pistion or somthing...I saw a crx eat is motor alive with one mistake...Its a cheaper route then turbo...but in the long run its worth it to save for boost...thats IMO
its all up to you, but if you can make it fast, and tune it...you will get respect from everyone
