that is about as dumb as saying nitrous breaks stuff.
Nitrous is as safe as any power adder if used properly. You would not install a turbo and leave the stock tune in but people do it with nitrous all the time.
Nitrous does not break motors stupid people break motors.
I asked for techinical info and I get a pic of a scuffed piston with a broken ring land that loks like it swelled in the bore and locked up. That does not look like a detonation failure.

Been runnin nitrous on my cars for years now. It is the best bang for the buck hands down. I dunno any other mod where you can get 150 more rwhp from about 700$ worth of stuff. Saying nitrous is no good for cars is just retarded. If you think that way you might as well not even mod the car cause you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Like Powers said before, you wouldnt toss a blower or turbo on a car without adjusting the tune or making the right adjustments to the motor so it can handle it. Tossing on a 200 shot onto a stock honda and then blowing it up and then saying nitrous is no good is about how stupid some of you guys think..

Well, its a lot different on 8 cylenders then on 4 cylenders... on V8's the pressure is a lot more spread out. 4cylenders literally have twice the pressure to withstand (and heat, depending on application)

Well, its a lot different on 8 cylenders then on 4 cylenders... on V8's the pressure is a lot more spread out. 4cylenders literally have twice the pressure to withstand (and heat, depending on application) And thus why you match your shot to the cly pressure and Hp your motor can handle per cly. So if most V8's run anywhere from 150-200 hp jetting, logic would tell you that a 4cly would only want to run 75-100. That is plain ol simple being smart enough to use a screw driver intelligence. Nitrous is like any other power adder. It must be set up for your motor. Things like static compression, timming, head design, fuel, and ring tolerance all need to be considered. Same as with any turbo, or supercharger set up. If you are not taking all these things into consideration you are a pure rookie and deserve to pick your wrist pins up off the pavement. I am still waiting for someone to give me tech as to why nitrous does not work on a 4cly honda. And please the next time someone links to slowmotion please save yourself the time, as Jon, Corey, and Josh will agree with anything I have posted. If you would like you can stand in between Corey and I and talk engine tolerances for boost and juice next time we have one.

The euro accord kid did.
he said spray will ruin a perfectly good motor. Then I ask why and you come in with a pic of a broken piston which to me looks like a bore lock up.
I get defensive when I say it like it is but people who have no real clue want to argue with you.

I think what he meant was, the majority of honda owners happen to be ricers (i know im being car-racist here, but cmon....), so they throw a buck-fitty shot on there and well.. Yeah.
Im sure he knows that nitrous doesnt ruin a motor simply by safe use. :/

wow...i love drama... had'nt been on here in a while, and by the looks of it sombody brought my post back from the dead, and it ran amock like a fucking zombie over to cr.com's website, so they could come over and flame our threads... well im not trying to talk any shit, i am not willing to put nitrous on my car, in fact, i think im done modding my car as for the engine, maybe now just a bit of suspension work, and some really bright flashy cool neons with a gigantasmic batwing fin/wing to get HBO, then i could really be super cool, and have all the laydeez...
