But like I said, rods and pistons.
From my research i've come to the conclusion that in order to run a dry 75 shot safely on a y8, I need a FPR, Walbro 255 fuel pump, new clutch (exedy stage 1), RC 310 injectors, retard timing 4 degrees, and a solid tune, and I should be fine. To be honest, I feel that anything over a 75 shot (100 shot) is when you need to start worrying about the block (pistons, crank, rods, etc.). As far as times go, what do you guys think I should be expecting in the summer once this is done?
safe is subjective... you COULD in theory blow your motor on the first hit.. nitrous, turbo, sc, serious na build.. are all pretty serious applications.. it is NOT correct to assume any of them to be safe.. i have been very lucky with nitrous and it is working VERY well for me.. but that does not mean you will have the same experience.. before you get into ANY serious power you must first prepare yourself for the potential failure of the motor.. do not try to create anything beyond bolt on power unless you can afford the downtime of being without a car.. with that said i think in a stock application a 50 shot is relatively safe... maybe a 70 shot (wet).. but i would not personally go higher than that untill i saw how the motor handled it..
well put oc
I blew my D up on the first shot lol s**t happens luckily i had a B to back it up with lol but it was sooner then i would of liked. so i sold the zex dry kit and bought more parts for the car i have recently picked up a brand new zex wit kit for only 300 dollars
yaya comes with everything and its brand new in box kid needs money fast = my fun time 
. I will have around a 75 shot of nitrous runing threw my fully built b20 with s200 box and im fully perpaired for what could happen. KAAAAAAAAAAAAMOTHAFUCKING BOOOOOM!!!! could happen. allways keep that in the back of your mind actually bring it to the front lol

If I ever decide to run a 100 shot, that is when I need block work (pistons, rods, crank, etc.), but with me being on a budjet, this will be my higest shot on this motor.

its really not safe.. it GREATLY reduces reliability.. ANY power adder does even more when you factor in the fact that you are RACING an economy car... ive been through two trannys on this car.... i blew up the stock one with the oem clutch then i blew up one with an ACT clutch that honda freshly built... im on my third tranny i now have an exedy clutch... I f**king LOVE nitrous.. i will NEVER own a car that doesnt have a bottle.. i TOTALLY believe in it being the most perfect power adder for a relatively stock car.. but the risk is still there and relatively high... miss a shift and bounce off the rev limiter WOT with the spray on... i blew the top off a spark plug and luckily.. it didnt hit anything coming out.. that was pretty much the moment i realized i could blow my motor.. i still spray.. lol but it COULD destroy my engine..stevex said:
That sounds scary... lol. You should get that "window" (I think thats what its called). It won't let you turn the nitrous on too early and cuts it off at a preset rpm.oc_civic said:
