Your best bet would be to search around, but if I remeber right, about 50 is the max you can do on the stock motor. Most people only run about 35, and that does a good job.

Make sure that the compression on all 4 of the cylinders are within 10% of each other. If so I would recommend a wet N2O kit over a Dry one, the Wet kit is much safer.

I learnd this from experience:>>




NOTE: these are NOT from a KA they are from A KL-DE(03) out of my friend's car, he was running a Zex 75 DRY shot.

ouch, and OMG!! Like it totally destroyed that piston! Lol it reminds me of a time at a race where a kart blew a piston and connecting rod right out the bottom of their engine. Had to go out on the track and pick up all of the deformed pieces. Nice pics though to give refrence to.

It can with weak compression

Please speak proper english.

Thats a cheap way to get unreliable HP and destroy your engine.

If you compression is great then go for it, but even with good compression it'll kill the engine. Most pro's who run it build their engine for it. my bud in KC went through an engine every 2 years from doin that.

Thanks, you just answered my question and saved me the $$$ and pain of finding out the hard way.

I was considering it but with 115k of wear on my engine why push it.
