my baby needs a bottle of juice

Hey guys how's it goin? I'm thinking of giving my 2.2 a healthy dose of laughing gas. But I have some concerns. Has anyone had any problems with thier car after nitrous use? Is our engine strong enough to handle it? What shot should I use? My engine has 72k on the clock. Will this put too much wear on my engine?
This car is my daily driver, and I'm still paying for it. But the nitrous will only be used ocasionally, I'ts not like I'll be using it to out run escorts on th highway or anything. I have a chance to buy the ZEX kit real cheap so all of this will be the deciding factor.
any input is. welcomed

I also have the Zex dry shot.

You should be fine. I began using N2O with more than 75K on the clock.

It will put additional wear on your engine, but if used occasionally, you shouldn't have any problems.

I started with a 55-shot, but within several weeks, I went up to a 75-shot. I've been running a 75-shot for at least 6 months.

I'm moving up to a 100-shot (the new Zex wet kit) in a week or so. I won't use the 100-shot for street use, but rather for the track.

Good luck!


BTW: If you have an auto tranny, I recommend installing a tranny cooler.

I would say 75 or lower to be safe since it's a daily driver.
