hehe dude, i was watching matrix when i was posting. it was a good fight scene so i didn't wanna type much.

and a lot of boost isn't all that helpful on the engine either, but at least it produces a lot more power for the damage you're already doing to your engine than nitrous would. of course, it comes at a high price and a good amount of tuning, but it's better than push button power.

I have a wet kit but its not direct port. I never got any tuning done. The car runs on the rich side from the factory and the extra fuel the kit delivers is more than enough. If I was going higher than 75 shot and doing direct I would suggest going to the dyno.

Nitrous is great for late night street races, or when you go out looking for a race or at the drag strip. Otherwise it can be a pain in the ass. Warming up the bottle, making sure it is on. During the summer making sure the pressure is not to high after its been in your trunk with the beating sun all day long. Its fun but extremly limited. Once ya get a taste
of all that power ya want it all the time. Oh did I mention its fun. Also did I mention it can be a pain in the ass.

Is there any possibility the bottle could rupture from natural heat?

Here are the main things you must worry about when juicing with high shot.. I'm assuming you are going with a high shot with the direct port.. You should really research nitrous a lot more before you start juicing..
1. Bottle must be in the right pressure range.
2. Colder spark plugs and ya must gap them frequently
3. Might have to retard timing
4. The higher the octane fuel the better, no less than 93 octane
5. Should run richer

I'm not sure if you want to run higher than a 50 or 75 hp level. That is about the limit that I have seen on S2000 setups.

running about 100 with direct port and will tuned down due to FI. Once you build it right and use the proper fuel you will be okay. It takes some time to do some research and get the right parts...
