For much over that an engine build of some sort is strongly recommended. Once you get a little over 200WHP on a D-series, the main weakness of the engine is the connecting rods, and while upgrading those it's senseless to not do other things too.


FYI, it's nitrous, not NOS or NAWZ or NAWS, etc. NOS is a brand, as is ZEX.
Also, the head is in the way of the pistons from them shooting through the hood and a more likely scenario as itinerant said is them shooting though the front of the block. This happens when you throw a rod.

Another thing, not many people use nitrous so you are less likely to receive many answers to this thread. Probably the main reason people don't use nitrous as much (my theory) is because it could get someone called a ricer easily by ignorant people because ricers who worship Fast & The Furious make it look bad and ruin it for the rest of us. Same reason people like to call people with clean Hondas ricers even when they're not ricers... because the actual ricers make Honda as a whole look bad.
