I'd say either 50 or 75, but definately no higher than 75.

I'd go with the 50HP nozzle.

well it will wear your motor more than stock.......but if dont correctly you shouldnt experience problems.........but you are at a higher risk WITH the nitrous.

If you dont know a good amount about nitrous, then dont use it. Im led to believe you dont know what you are doing by the way that you call it NOS instead of nitrous. Yes I know it is a NOS kit, but people dont refer to nitrous as NOS in the real tuner world. NOS rates their jets at WHP (50shot = 50whp) wheras other companies like venom rate their HP gains at the crank (100shot= around 65hp).
Dont buy the kit if you arent going to use it. That would just be stupid and ricey. If you ignore my advice then please, PLEASE, let someone who knows what they are doing install it. Do NOT get a button setup, get a computer-arming switch. Also dont use any more than a 50-shot.

I knew a guy who juiced an old Hyundai Elantra... or tried to anyway. I rode with him once to a meeting when we worked together, and I swear we didn't go below 95 mph the entire time. He was insanely stupid. He also drove with his hand on the shifter all the time (it was an automatic) I didn't get to see it first-hand but I hear he blew his motor when he tried to juice it. He ended up buying a '90 Prelude after that. What a tool.

Just a cautionary tale. Don't be a tool

oh, and in reading this thread again, i hope you havent ordered that 50 shot jet yet. on a CX, its too much. you shouldnt go over 50% extra hp from n2o from stock, and that can be pushing it. go with a 35 shot, its a lot safer.

no the one i got comes with shots from 35,50,75 and 100 so ill use 35, that means i will get 35HP right? and do you know how many shots a 10OZ bottle can provide?
