haha! on a 10 oz bottle? maybe one or two quarter mile passes. at 35 shot. and yeah, that roughly translates into HP. seriously, 2 passes is pushing it. a 10 pound bottle on a 50 shot will only be good for about 10-12 passes.

damn, its the only thing i can do, i mean i dont have the room for the 10lb bottles or even a 5lb in the back.

Also i think this sounds wrong:

"on a 10 oz bottle? maybe one or two quarter mile passes. at 35 shot."
"a 10 pound bottle on a 50 shot will only be good for about 10-12 passes."

isnt a 50 shot more, so how can it last 5 times more? correct me if i am wrong.

Also any ideas where i can put the 5lb bottle? if i find room i will upgrade.

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.
And why is that, the "CX" has a Y7 in it which in turn has a Y8 bottom end. First mod I suggest is a 96-00 ex manual trans mission then a 96-00 ex intake manifol swap. The gearing in the transmission and the ability of the Y8 intake manifold to flow alot better will pull anywhere from .8 to a full second off you 1/4 miles times. Then juice it with a 50 to 75 shot wet system. But do remember it is simply not a just bolt it on and go affair either. As with any other form of FI you need to up your fuel and tune the AFR's for it.

what should i do about the fuel? can i just reprogram the ECU to add more fuel or what would you do? i want to keep it as low price wise as possible.
will i need new spark plugs? basically what would you recommend i change before i use the kit to keep my engine safe on a 35 or 50 shot.


also its a non vtech and i am going to get the D16Y8 head to fix that problem.

Fast and reliable, money is not too much of an issue just as long as its not some crazy amount.

You CAN tune your car with that, but i wouldnt try it without a wideband o2 sensor. Those go for about 400$
