i never said it wouldnt be safe, but it would be pointless. for the cost of a nice nitrous setup with the proper gauges, and tuning, you might as well stick a d16z6 in there and due an auto->5spd swap. hell, i got a full b18b swap with gsr tranny for 600 bux. it was a damn good deal, but swaps can be had for less then a 1000 bux

For a 55 shot it will usually last 3 minutes of total use. Remember that it is really only used in short 15 second bursts not constantly.

I bought the ZEX management unit for 60$, hoses, jets, bulkhead for 80$ and bottle for 60$. I just gotta get a bottle warmer and possible a pressure gauge.

nothing wrong with nitrous, even if it is cheep power. id personally rather just swap it then juice it. and a mini me is gay. ur still gonna have a gay ass bottom end that was never ment to handle the additional reving and has toothpick rods. swap, boost or bust
