the safe way is get a compression check since its a new (to you) car, and make sure that checks out. if all is good then spray away. with ANY sort of serious mod to a car, there is always a risk of blowing **** up, so just to inform you if you dont already know, if your not atleast prepared to fix broken **** dont spray nitrous. you may never have a problem, or you could blow your motor on day one.
nitrous is stupid easy to install. can be a little tedeous to run the lines and wires depending on how in depth your kit is, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to install it. theres 9 million writeups on how to install it. theres plenty of good kits. NOS, ZEX, NX, dynotune, etc... all make good kits.
i personally suggest a wet kit. far less to worry about with your motor and less that needs to be upgraded (injectors need to be upgraded iwth a dry kit). tuning is also much easier on a wet kit and the risk of blowing the motor is less than that of a dry. you do run a risk of backfiring in the manifold and blowing your manifold tho. ALWAYS get a tune when running nitrous. even if its just one dyno pull to check your AFR.
some of the main things to have with a nitrous kit: bottle heater to make your bottles last longer (and so you can spray in the winter). window switch, wide open throttle switch, and a fuel pressure cutoff switch, these 3 make it very safe to spray. tracks sometimes require certain things if you have nitrous so you may want to check with your local track to see if theres any requirements with nitrous cars.
