    i remeber theres a guy on the board here who has a carb'd intake mani that he motified to fit a holly carb, if you were to get that mani or build one, theres a good chance you can get a carb plate for nitrous to fit, pretty simple instal

    You'll probably need a wet shot
    You might have to get an extra fuel pump to supply the fuel, and then tap the Fuel/Nitrous mix nozzle to each runner... thing is I don't think there is a lot of room with all the carb and emissions controls installed.
    And I dunno how safe you'd be with a dry shot.

    You may be able to install two nozzles in the lid of the air cleaner facing the barrels... still think you'd want a wet shot, but I'm no nitrous expert.

    i never thought of using two nozzles in the lid...hmm i gotta ask around about that, that could make it alot easier.

    Its all about fabrication, what says you cant make your own adapter plate? Its not that hard anyways, youd be safer shooting it post carb anyways

    Re: carbed nitrous

    You would be better shooting post carb? Seriously? I hope you're talking about a wet shot b/c other wise you would have a whole bunch more oxygen but not enough fuel to compensate. I agree though nothing says that you can't make your own ya know.

    Re: carbed nitrous

    I've been thinking about the same for my 1.8 carb 85' hatch. post carb would seem difficult to do, on the stock carb. But on the other side a pre-card wet should could be risky if there happen to be a back fire wile you were using it.
    I found this it would be a simple solution but again you'd thin out the air fuel mixture.

    Popular N02 systems are plates/spraybars under the carb base. Problem with noss is you have to jet up to use it then your way rich at WOT when your not spraying. Most companies dont tell you that.

    Ok smarty do how would you do a wet with a carb?? you 'd need a way to inject fuel, new lines and would the stock pump cut it?

    Don't try to reinvent stuffs that been around since the 60's.

    Re: carbed nitrous

    Ofcourse you'd need a new pump, lines, and a solenoid.

    Reinvent?
    ever seen one of these?

    there's two spraybars there. Guess what the red one's for.

    Re: carbed nitrous

    like i said before in like post number 3, theres a guy on here who is or was selling a intake manifold which he adapted to fit a holly carb, it you bought it or build one you can use the nitrous plate lke pictured above

    Not going to bother commenting on that...

    You would still probably need a new intake manifold.

    Re: carbed nitrous

    I don't think he could use an A20 Manifold, the head intake ports for the dual carb head are different.

    post 10 isnt even the same, thats a wet shot carb plate. You wouldnt need to richen...and for dual carbs, I have a funny feeling you'd need dual plates.....

    Re: carbed nitrous

    His 85 uses the same type of intake manifold as my 85 accord accept duel carb. I would imagen buying a new duel carb intake manifold for his accord and tweeking it would be the best way.
