    Nitrous with my setup

    This is a quick rundown of my civic's setup to give you a heads up before I ask my questions. I have forged pistons (9:1) and rods with a greddy turbo kit, hondata Kpro, and now thinking about a 75 shot of n20. I am running as much boost as possible on my turbo, can I use nitrous when I am at full boost or will it blow my turbo? Also which nitrous system should I use with my hondata wet or dry? Last one, are there any recommendations on which nitrous kit I should get?
    Sorry if this was a little choppy, I have never posted before.

    how much psi are you running and what are your numbers to the wheels right now? also, if you are going to get a nitrous kit, go NX. better quality especially in the solenoids. might cost a little more than the others but with your setup if you decide to do this you do not want to skimp. your bottom end should be fine and as long as you do not over-rev the valvetrain should handle it. thats all the info i can give you though. hopefully some others can chime in.

    What boost are you running on your turbo? Forged pistons don't mean jack if your cylinder pressure is at some absurd amount. I'd be more worried about cracking a cylinder wall than anything. I doubt a stock a3 block can handle that amount of power. Under combustion on spray, I would hate to see how much pressure is in there. Just my .02

    We are talking about an EP, right?

    lol i will. get a bigger turbo.
    na+n20=fast, supercharger+n20=faster and turbo+any shot=boooom!
    rough rule of thumb
