I have mixed emotions about running nitrous with this car.. Just the amount of boost and the cylinder pressures involved with nitrous concerns me.. NOW With that said.. I DO intend to run a small 25hp (or so) nitrous kit after my mods are complete.. I don't recommend a dry system, ESPECIALLY if your running an S-AFC since most tuners are using the AFC's to lean out your fuel curve...
I think a really small nitrous system, As LOW a HP rating as you can get, will actually give you alot of gains due to lowering the air temp, therefore increasing intake density a bit..
Ok.. With all of that said.. I don't know if the engine (at the least the head gasket) could handle it without damaging anything, but as long as you can compensate the nitrous with the required extra fuel, it should be fairly safe.

Maybe its just me but I don't think I have ever seen an Evo with any kind of lag what so ever off the line. Unless it was like broken or something!

a new clutch will fix that problem. Try launching over 5000 rpms, lets say 7000 and its feels like your on the way to the moon. Besides adding NOS won't make it launch better, without a clutch the stock one will just slip worse than beforehand!

I know with my stock clutch there was no way I could launch anywhere near 5000 and well then thats not really launching then anyway! If you plan on any launching get a clutch first. If not granny start and then punch it!

I'll wait for someone else to try installing Nitrous in their car first before I try it...but, I dont see the issues with a small 50-75 shot... I like some of the ZEX kits, almost got one on my RSX-S that had an 11:1 comp ratio
