I'm talking simple kits here, the dry ones vs the wet ones (where fuel flows through the intake with the nitrous). Which do you prefer and why?

I don't want any mention of kits like the NOSSle(sp?) system.

Let the debate begin.

I personally like dry kits as they tend to be cheaper and easier to install. They're not suited for every application, however.

I've been made aware of the dangers of running a wet kit. Some intakes don't flow very well allowing the fuel/nitrous/air mixture to "pool" in the intake with the potential for some major damage.

Doesn't sound too safe to me.

Could you be more specific please? Personally I would never use a wet kit in any application.

Dry kits are so much easier to install. I'd go dry if I was going to spray. Easier to tune as well

From what I have seen at the track, most of the serious guys I run with are using a wet kit, now I dont know much about Nitrous but a friend of mine ran a wet kit for years and it worked great and gave amazing results on the dyno for a 2000gt, close to 400 TQ. Although I have read several applications where plastic intakes dont seem to like it to well.

O and I voted wet just because it didnt have any votes :biggrin:

continue the debate please...I would love to learn this stuff.

I would use a dry on a boosted application because of the intercooling effect and there is less of a chance of a nos backfire since there would be no wet fuel in the intake tract.On a n/a I would run a wet to add the correct amount of fuel for the h/p your making on the juice.

Wet kits should only be run with RPM window Switches. This eliminates the possibility of a backfire. Dry kits have problems to. Tuning a sytem which spikes Fuel pressure is a biatch. I prefer wet, weasily tunable and a much more consistent result. Just run the window switch.

P.Meister

If you have a returnless fuel car, DO NOT run a wet kit. You will suck the rails dry and have a huge lean spike. The Ford EEC's are powerful enough to add in fuel using a tune as long as you have the proper injectors/pump.

Spraying in front of the mass air meter is the PROPER way to run nitrous and the easiest (but only good for up to a 75 shot). The EEC will see the nitrous as added air, and compensate for fuel and spark (not spark on pre 94 computers)

On a dry kit, have the proper injectors, and pump and compensate via the computer with a chip.

What about Zex kits with there little brain box setup??
