There are 8 generations of this car. This Honda has been around for a long time, and doesn't want to stay out. Nitrous kits have so much to offer cars like this. Being how they are so compact and light weight, it doesn't take much of a boost to get a car like this into the 10 second range at the track. Nitrous kits can give these cars anywhere from 25 to 300 HP gain on a stock motor.
Nitrous kits are have been refereed to in the past as unsafe to use. This is a fairy tale. With all the technology out there for these kits today, nitrous is very safe to use. There is a lot of new technology out there to prevent your car from blowing up on you. In the worst cases this has happened in the past, mainly due to user error. There are kits available for each and every car out there. These kits also include features like Active fuel control, and Wide Open Throttle monitoring systems.
Active fuel control, which is patented by ZEX ( A nitrous company), is a system that connects to your ECU to monitor if your car is running to lean, or to rich. Which can have devastating effects if that is true. This system is designed to adjust the flow of nitrous, or cut it off in general if this problem occurs. Which it can, if the users system isn't functioning properly.
Wide open throttle monitoring is the practice of releasing your nitrous from your kits bottle only at WOT. This is a safety measure, because you want more fuel in the combustion chamber for the nitrous.
