Re: Mini me on GAS!? will it hold?>
Actually I was spraying a few months before I met you (coming up on 10 years ago) and had you chipping p28's for me after switching to b-series lol. I sprayed the stock motor in my del sol for about a year. Back then not alot of people had hondata at least that i knew of. I had never heard of a wide band at that point. It was all EGT's, FMU's and FPR's. I think since then they have solenoids that you can program to regulate nitrous to act like boost. Basically setting how much nitrous at what rpm in each gear. Things like that for example make nitrous alot safer.

Not talking shit to you, but you obviously have zero experience with spraying a honda motor so I would keep your opinions of what's "cool" to yourself, if you know what I'm saying.
An engine is an engine and the reason people put nitrous on a d-series is the same reason a redneck puts nitrous on an LS1. And if you think d-series only purpose is to get 40mpg then go talk to the thousands of people making 300+ hp out of them with minimal money dropped into them.
A d-series is a great motor for whatever you want to do with it, all I'm saying is in stock form he's going to run into issues with too big of a shot. The d-series valves have less inconel/less material in them than the b-series valves so they can't resist very high cylinder temps for an extended period of time. I'm all for nitrous, back in the day a dry 50 shot turned my 16 second car into a 13 second car for a couple hundred dollars. Just make sure if you are going to spray to build the motor for what you are doing. If he wants a stock d-series with nitrous then a dry 35 or wet 50 shot is as far as I would go. These days you can tune for these things much better than when I had nitrous. Also, he can still keep his 40mpg's with the bottle off.
And btw, you can still drive to Walmart with a chipped valve

So many myths in this thread, Nitrous by itself is not flammable, It just helps the combustion proses of the fuel. It does not hurt the motor! Improper tunning hurts the motor.
The safest way to keep that 40-45 mpg and make more power is to spray the motor plain and simple.
