Hey everyone, I got a 99 civic (D16Y8) 5speed with Intake/Header/Exhaust/Dual Friction Centerforce Clutch/And Fidanza Light-Weight Flywheel. and I am wondering what size shot Would be safe for running on this motor I am wanting to run a 75 shot but what do you think about 100 shot?
Thanks,
Jesse

 

75 shot? your motor will be able to handle it but not as long as like say a 50 shot..... if you get some colder plugs then you should be fine if you tune the car to the 75 shot but i would only do a 50 shot on a stock motor to be safer

How do you like that clutch? I have one on the way right now! same year car and motor too! Do you like it?

 

GotRice?99ex, I got that clutch from summit, I was really suprised at how much easier the clutch pedal was to engage or mash. Between the clutch and light-weight flywheel, it took a while to get used to taking out in the car. I can grab a second pretty good and the clutch, works really well, about taking out hard,without spinning much at a dead stop.I recommend getting the light-weight flywheel though, and changing it all out at once cause it took me 5-6 hours straight to install the new clutch and flywheel. I used a lift to raise my vehicle up and down, up at my uncles as well, that helped alot.

 

So its working well for ya? Good, Im gettin mine form a guy from summit for Free so I couldnt pass it up! I wish i had a lift to use, but i guess i just be using a Floor jack and some jack stands! Thank God I have air tools!! How hard was the install? ive never done it before, but hey, might as well try and learn somtime

 

well I first unhooked all of my senors and plugs from the top and after you do that I pulled the wheelsthen pulled the brake callipers,then I think I took the bolts of the bottom ball joints, and pulled the brake discs and assembly too the side so I could get the axles out on both sides. and pulled all the bolts out of the transmission from the motor. I also kept a jack under the old pan so the motor wouldnt drop down after I droped the trans.Be sure and get the bolt by the starter,or you could mess sumthing up.after I got all the bolts I still had the transmission mount bolts it pulled mounts and all and pulled the transmission out from the bottom,be sure and not use any kinda air tools,when puting bolts back on cause the parts threads can strip easily. I think the pressure plat unbolted using a 8 or 10 point socket,I used air and unbolted all that. and if you are changing flywheels, I think I used a 12 point socket. But Its Kinda Of easy job takes a little patience and time.

 

start small with the jetting. you need to make sure the fuel system is up to par to take on the nitrous kit. when i ran nitrous a while back i always started off with the 55 shot pills then worked my way back up to 75. ive ran a few passes with 125 shot jetting in also. but with any power adder the higher you go the more stress on the engine which will lead to premature failure regardless the tune. id highly recommend never excedding a 75 shot untill you get the hang of tunning for nitrous use.
