Re: b16 and N2o
Stock? Built? If so what kind of parts did you have? What kind of kit are you wanting to run? Are you willing to sacrifice some N/A power for a better tune on the juice?
Just to ballpark you....
50hp - High octane, 1 step colder plugs, wet kit
75hp - All of the above + retard the timing and upgraded fuel pump
100hp - High octane, 2 step colder plugs, retard timing, upgraded fuel pump, and check into direct port n2o
THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO YOUR CAR!! I HAVE NEVER, PERSONALLY, RAN NITROUS ON A HONDA!!
I'm just trying to give you a baseline. I have put the squeeze on Neons, 240s, Mustangs, Camaros and a few trucks.
You should save the money most people spend on a purge kit and by safety/reliability items first. Nitrous and fuel pressure gauges, bottle heater, fuel pressure safety switch, window switch, and I'm sure there are a few others I'm forgetting.
Somebody will probably jump on this and give you some more specific info for your car. Hope this helps.

Re: b16 and N2o
i have not ordered the kit yet im just trying to figure out if i can run n2o on my motor and if so how much is too much ~ b16a, eagle rods, civic type r pistons(bumped cr from 10.4:1 to 11.2-4:1) , port polish head. i run 93 on it as it is i would like to throw in a 50shot im not greedy just want a little jump for 3rd and 4th. i was thinking dry shot. my knowledge of n2o is limited i know it makes you go faster i know the different set ups dry wet DP fogger i know that it can be the best thing and the world and ialso know it can blow you shyt up through detonation. but i dont know much else except that if i can get it i want it

Re: b16 and N2o
I have ran a 75 shot on a stock b20 with just bolt-ons and no fuel tuning at all, retarded the timing 4 degrees, and the motor had like an 8.8:1 cr. Don't think I would do it again after seeing the a/f when the car was dyno'd though.
