Nitrous Oxide Install

It’s traditionally known that with a nitrous kit, all you have to do is set it up and you’re off. For beginners, it’s a matter of trial and error (plus repeated trips to the track) to find out what works the best for you. For seasoned vets, if your motor is receiving its third rebuild, then obviously you knew you’d pushed it too far. It really is challenging to get your nitrous kit dialed in! If it were easier to do, we’d have done it already. Actually, Venom’s done the hard part for us. Its new PC Nitrous System is the first of its kind to be extremely user-friendly and can be configured easily like Neo and The Matrix’s kung-fu tutorial program. It features drag, linear, and timed modes; low-bottle detection; and an optimal air/fuel ratio at any bottle pressure. Best of all, you can install it in quick time (roughly two hours) and can get it programmed through your PC in just a few minutes. We had Venom school us on how to install its VCN-2000 Nitrous System on a ’98 Civic sedan, so we’ll show you the same. Off the bottle and totally stock, this typical family car puts down a not-so mind-boggling 88.8 hp on the dyno at Harv’s Performance Center. With the nitrous fully dialed, the max power was greatly blown out with a final 150.2 hp—that’s a 61.4hp increase!
