When it goes 'BOOM' j/k. There are so many variables. If you're talking about the CL, I believe there are people running 50 shot, 80 shot and even a 100 shot. I'd be more worried about the tranny than the internals.

A friend of mine blew his civic motor with an 80shot. I believe the mistake he made was hitting the nos at 80mph and taking off from there. He ended up with 3 holes in his block and parts of his rods and pistons scattered all over the freeway. It also backfired out of his intake and shredded his filter. It was a wet setup all hooked up properly, just a little too much juice for a stock civic motor.

When your internal combustion engine becomes an external combustion engine.

Dry is when you just shoot NOS into the engine. Wet is when you shoot NOS and fuel at the same time.

Don't let this scare anyone away from using NOS on their CLS, I really wish some1 would try it. This guy was an idiot and took his pressure regulator off. Get the Zex kit whihc is fool proof, and venture out and try it, it should b fine.

WOW! Was the car just sitting in the driveway w/ the FPR off? or was it running w/no2. I wonder how this weather with the sun and heat will affect the bottle. Temperatures in the interior and trunk get pretty hot. In the summer, you wouldn't need a heater for the bottle.

Parked in the garage. It blew a hole through the garage door when the quarterpanel was torn away from the car. He 3was able to push it out into the driveway.

He left the bottle warmer on, that's why it went KABOOM.

I love the picture of the bottle. It blew it completely flat from the explosion.

So the cause of the explosion was due to the heat or the missing FPR? or both? So, with this weather (sun and heat) the trunk will reach very high temps. Would you have to worry about the bottle exploding?

Not if the release valve is working properly. That's why it's there.
