Years ago N2O was a DIY. I bought an NOS #5115 kit designed for V8 Mustangs and adapted it to a '94 Suzuki Swift GT (1100cc 4cyl). Worked like a champ with the right N2O and Fuel jets. Transfered the kit to my '98 Ranger PU then sold the kit to a guy with a V8 Mustang in 2000 when I bought my Firebird Formula. Pretty crude kits, injected N2O and fuel into the throttle body behind the MAF, no tuning, no timing pull. Supposed to be a 100HP shot for the Mustang.

The only thing that isn't diy is engine machining. Oh and paint... I hate painting.
Cool thing with n20 is you can go fairly simply or get really fancy. I usually fall somewhere in between. Prefer at least a window and tps switch.

Up to 100 dry shot you should be easily DIY. Beyond that is it still DIY but at a more difficult level because you are going to want to go Wet Shot.
