Thinking about a small wet kit...

Any thoughts?

 

What are you waiting for?...is the only thought I'm having. :-)

Small wet kits on turbo/supercharged engines are synergistic due to the cooling effect on the boosted air temp. You go too big on the shot and you could elevate combustion temperatures and that could be very detrimental on critical engine components such as exhaust valves, piston, and rings...especially on a stock block. Im not too familiar with the RDX 2.3L but most engines are built (strength wise) above factory engine output by a pretty large margin. In other words, if the engineers know the engine will produce 250hp, the bottom end would be be built to handle 350hp. ***example only, not actual figures*** This is because the overall service life of the engine gradually degrades engine components overtime and overshooting on the engine strength ensures both dependability and reliability. Better to build too strong than not strong enough is an easy way to put it.

Assuming that, I'm confident you could run a small 25-50hp shot with ease. DO NOT neglect the essential things like an air/fuel ratio gauge and on an engine that would be running both boost and nitrous: an exhaust gas temperature gauge. In the event that something were to fail and cause a lean mixture, or doubled temperatures in the exhaust, you would immediately come off the throttle thus protecting your engine from a catastrophic failure.

 

Someone on here has a 50 shot on his RDX... cant remember who though... there are pics of it also

 

This is more of a reason for the OP to install a 100hp shot.

 

...what kind of shot do you have on your TL??

 

I was thinking 75... I'd only ever barely touch the button... I wouldn't leave it wide-open... I'm confident the RDX can handle a little nos

 

I have the a zex wet kit in my wifes rdx and it kick ass no more turbo lags at all. Its really fun and i would hook it up to the tps not a switch because a switch can go bad and get stuck and i don't think you want that to happen to do do you?

 

^Ha, you said - do do!

 

300hp on stock motor right now. Have a 3.5 build currently underway and will be squeezing the trigger on a 400-450hp shot on that motor.

That's the beauty of nitrous, pull the trigger, kill your opponent. No messin' with any tunes, expensive boost/fuel/ignition controllers (standalones), all that crazy stainless tubing all over the place... Just simple and to the point...BANG!

But I secretly envy you guys with the little turbo'd four bangers man, those things are BAD! I'm actually buying an S2000 motor next week and have no car to put it in. But it was such a good deal. My wife has a 98 CL with a 2.3 in it and maybe I can play "doctor" and do "surgery" and be somebody.

Wtf am I talking about, I'm delirious guys and I'm going to bed now. Peace!

 

Wow, a 300 shot on the stock internals
That is a direct port setup right?

 

um.. if I was to spray 300 to 400 shot i would do my best tune the shit out of my car so the motor don't blow. tuning is the key part in anything so if you don't tune your car for 300 shot I don't think that your car will last you that long.

 

how does that work... very intrigued... sounds wonderful! Links would suffice!

 

Here yah go
