If you have a someone install it professional it can be used without much damage. Just remember our car really shouldn't have much more than a 50hp maybe 75 hp shot. You can run more but it is not really safe.Also no Acura dealer will warranty crap on the engine with that installed. And trust me we can tell!! Buy the CT-E supercharger alot of dealers will overlook that mod because they now how well they are made. And how safe.

A properly setup nitrous system is a good option for power on demand. The bottle refilling is obviously the downside. A good rule of thumb on nitrous shot is 50% increase over stock HP. So, it can make a little more power than a base boost blower kit (non inter/aftercooled)

*Everyone* has a different opinion on nitrous. I detest wet systems on dry manifold cars, but people do it. A direct port setup would be easy enough to run the plumbing with the intake in the front, but you'll need the ability to retard the timing when on the gas and I guess that'd mean a Hondata pro system where you do you own tuning.

By the time you get all the bells & whistles and remote valves and bottle heaters and nitrous controllers and custom engine management & tuning time...you could have bought a "just ~ OK" supercharger like a Jackson Racing, when it is released. Or if it's released. I'd rather do a CTE and drive it like it came that way, which is what you get with CTE.

I miss the nitrous I had on my old car. It was a hell of a lot of fun to play with.
