Stokeless is in the preparation stages for it I believe.

Stupid question but if you had a 10lb tank exscaly how long does it last between refills. IE if I did some drags how many times can I spray, before the tank is empty.

I guess the primary reason for lack of interest is the warranty issue. Most people would rather have some simpler mods like CAI, header and perhaps Hondata reflash. Not to mention the lack of ability to retard timing or manage fuel in order to run the system safely and correctly.

I assume you are running a wet system.....and if you are, how did you tap the fuel rail, or did you go aftermarket? How much fuel pressure do you have when spraying?

I tapped into my fuel line right before the fuel rail with the T that comes with the kit .I do have the wet kit since nitrous express only sells wet kits .I plan on going to a 75 shot here soon ,as far as warranty goes i only have 6,000 miles on it and i dont plan on keeping the car to much longer so why not enjoy it while u have it ..I wish someone close to me would buy hondata so i can run them juice VS hondata but noone anywhere around me has hondata

What about dzuy? Btw, I'd be interested to see what the A/F ratio is with your current setup without fuel management, under load with the juice on.

I done a lil research and hondata advances timing and when u spray nitrous heavy its good to have it retarded so hondata and nitrous =blown up tsx in a month but it would be bad ass to have both with no problems

when me and dzuy met up i did not have the nitrous installed and i dont think he wants to come to jax without a better reason then a race . I tried to get my car dynoed and it would not make it on the dyno but im going to take my from bumper off and have it dynoed in a week or so when i find 75 bucks to piss away , then ill get u guys some #'s and air fuel and all that good stuff .I am going to a meet next weekend with some rsx's and TL's maybe someone will have a camera and ill race someone out there to show u guys how she is pulling

dubs-how low is your car? I put my Kstyle type kit on and now my whip is too low to get my brand new low profile jack under it. I was gonna get a baseline done, guess I will have to make sure it fits on the dyno before I schedule it.

what kind of dyno was it? They dynojets I've seen are built into the floor, you could put a car scraping the ground onto one of those things... if you can get it tied down with the straps

If it's a dynojet, could you ask them to put your dyno files on a floppy? I'd be interested to use them for comparision.
