Is this all I would need to intall and safely run the nitrous kit ? I know im gonna have to get the bottle filled so dont state the obvious .

If theres anything else what is there ?

really considering it since it will be easier on my tranny and motor than a turbo would be.
You need a Diaper, Cause bottles are for babies

Nitrous and safely are not usually used in the same sentence.

It looks like everything, but I don't understand why you think that it would be easier on your engine and tranny than a turbo. Because in fact the opposite is true.

Let's face it. Turbos produce HP on a every day basis. Spray is used for a quick boost at WOT in a drag race. Unless you're at the track, that's not cool.

But to each their own. Good luck.
How about a car where Nos is a good idea lol :P
Is this for Dry or Wet application?

Also not sure where you are from, but in Ontario they are trying to ban the bottle and possible jail/fine if they catch ppl. ( i think)

It's a wet system.
Ive been told its easier on the engine since its not always being used ... if this is untrue and its harder on the engine I guess I will need turbo lol

I would say stop listening to whomever that was.
Nitrous. In my humble opinion, should never be installed on a car, unless it's just being used for Drag Racing. Whatever the cost of the nitrous, put it into real performance modifications, intake, exhaust, suspension, and if you can afford it turbo or supercharged. Spend your money or stuff that'll make the overall driving experience a bigger rush, not just five minutes worth.
Nitrous has no point on a street car. It makes sense on a drag car, but you should never have a use for it on the street.. what sort of driving situation requires an instant temporary 50-100hp? I don't think it would be unreasonable or surprising if a law passed saying you can't have a bottle hooked up on the streets.

If you're worried about being hard on your engine you should look at a low boost supercharger or turbo setup, or just stick to NA engine bolt ons. Personally I'd rather pay for a power adder that I notice all the time, rather than for 10-20 seconds at a time.
