If nos blows the engine, will acura figure?
I have been reading around for quite some time now about FI and nos. FI though very expensive can be removed from the car just in case something happens, and there will not be any proof of abuse.
Now, does anyone have experience with a blown engine because of nos that the warranty replaced engine for free.
For example, lets say an engine blows from too much spray. You remove the system and it is clean enough that no one can tell it was there before. Would acura be able to figure it out if they open up the engine?

So in other words, you want to stiff someone else for the result of your abuse and not do the ethical thing and own up to your own irresponsibility. This is the kind of irresponsibility and dishonesty that makes this a cynical world.

Probably. They probably will figure. I figure it this way .. the engine is couple to an automatic tranny (if you're talkin' CL-S auto) .. and the auto won't let it rev past the redline, thus the engine couldn't generate nearly enough heat to destroy pistons or camshafts,etc.
W/ NOS .. you ARE allowed to develop extreme amounts of power under the rev-limit .. thus, potentially destroying key engine parts...
So, yes, my opinion is that they WOULD be able to tell.. Just be careful.

if you know what your doing i doubt they'll find out. even if they do it'll be hard to prove it.
a friend killed his EL (canadas civic) by spraying, he rolled back the odo a bit to be in warranty, after taking a few weeks for acura to decide and managers looking at the car, acura fixed it

Safety Car
It doesn't change color... although if the car runs lean (and hence burns something)... it will be white'ish and very clean inside the combustion-chamber. When Honda does all the diagnostics, they will find out that the Fuel Injection system is working properly along with the ECU.. and hence you can't run lean - if you have ANY MODS on the car... they will never fix anything... even if its stock they probaby wont. If the rod flings out and cracks the block... they will ask you "Did it make any sound for a week or so before this happened?" You will say.. "duh.. .I don't know". They will say 'fuck you'! ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
If you mod your car... be prepared to fix it or pay to fix it... plain and simple. Don't screw the dealer and make them pass those costs onto me!!!!

exactly what allmotor said. I dont think engines blow up out of the blue... Something must have been done. If the dealer fixes it at no cost, then that person is very lucky.

Not to mention that the odometer mileage is now checked during inspections, smog checks, and other repair service and this number gets reported to the state (and gets attached to the car's title documentation). Look at a CARFAX readout -- they check for suspicious odometer readings.
People should not roll back their odometer -- very naughty!

note to everyone:
i did not mean i am planning on doing nos. i only asked the question for own personal knowledge. as i told allmotor, i will be FI soon, and i am well aware of the consequences. if engine blows, i wont hold it against the dealer or acura. thats a risk that i will take because of modding.
come on guys, cool down a bit!!!!

Thanks to our ECU, our OBDII ECU do store all the info of the car... such as your throttle, and rev graph.... lets me, if NOS blow your engine up, thats mean you were probally racing or at least rev... and since the engine is blown, thats probally the last rev that the computer store.... they can plugin the dignostic thingy into your ECU, and it will tell them you have sudden increase in rev, and abnormal fuel and combustion... its like a duh, the engine just dont rev twice as fast if theres not force induction.
