for a stock civic (excluding 7th gen ex/dx/lx)I would not go over a 75 shot wet and it should last a good long time if you dont go pushing the button like a video game.

94 civic ex. i was thinking just for more power all around. Im not new to moding motors just car motors. Ive built severla race motors for atvs / dirtbikes and usually intake/exhaust and a cam help out a ton. then depening on the motor bigger valves and a port and polish really wake that beast up. Yah turbos and spray are good and all but im looking to spend my money in other places like my atv.

ORIGINAL: Marty

nothing can give you 100whp like n2o for anywhere near the same price
Except when you take long term use into a account. Home made turbo > constant Nitrous refills

well what do these engines respond well to? I mean will a intake /exhuast make a noticable difference? Or should i look into more internal type mods?

I/H/E (intake/header/exhaust) will give you maybe 10 horses, but the throttle response will be alot snappier, real HP comes from re-building, boosting (turbo), then why not throw spray on top of that?

Oh yeah, and HP comes from $$$$

I'd go with a akmee head package and maybe up compression to 10.5 to 1. Will make around 145 to 150whp then spray a 75 shot on it when you need more

^^ head package. whats this consist of? Now i dont cara about peak hp numbers tq is where its at IMO yes a high hp number is nice and all but tq is what gets you moving. So you guys say do basic mods and have spray for "backup" is what im getting?with the money id spend on a spray kit im shure i could spend it somewhere else and get more perfomace. Plus look into the long run with refills and stuff. And hp does cost money but there could be some easy mod that i dont know about. For example on my yfz450 motor you can do the "cam mod" where you retard the ehxaust cam one tooth and you get better performance, but yamaha couldent sell it to you this way due to emissions. Also you can use the WR 450 crank/piston in my YFZ motor (stock the 04-05 yfz are 439cc) and the wr kit drops right in and bumps it up to 450cc, with using a 20mm wrist pin insted of the stock 18mm. now ive done the wr kit and its a way stronger motor.There could be things like this with civics that i dont know about.

just a question about n2o, you know the switch on your steering wheel? When you press it, does the entire bottle empty? Or is controllable, like when you press it n2o comes out, then when you let off the switch the n2o stops coming out? And do you have to be pressing on the gas when you press the button for it to work?
