Dry kits are safe to 75 shot with added fuel pressure, a good pump, cold plugs, and your timing slightly retarded (3-4 degress).

Wet kits are safer but require more tuning.

Venom currently only offers a Dry kit, Zex offers a Dry (what I have) and recently a wet kit.

You only want to inject nitrous at WOT and with the engine under load (in gear). A Direct Port system is used only when you want as potent a shot of Nitrous as possible. If you are not going over 100 Shot then it's not worth the investment. A Wet or Dry Intake mount kit works just fine.

Why would you want to "hit it" before you started driving?

I assume you mean a purge system. The classic nitrous gas spraying up the windshield? You can add that to any kit. Basicly you use it once when you open your bottle to make sure the nitrous lin is full of only nitrous and no air and then when you close your bottle to pruge out any nitrous left in the system.

 

how much do these wet kits cost? and what is the difference between wet and dry.. i am a NOS nub

/edit

nvm i figured it out here http://www.so-calspeedshop.com/nos/tech/dryvswet.html

 

Dry kits inject only Nitrous where as wet inject Fuel and Nitrous.

Wet kits are always more expensive but usually aren't to bad when compared to what you are getting.

 

So your saying if im not going to do a 100 or up I shouldent by the nitrous? I plan on a 35 shot maybe a 55 every now and then. What I ment hit, well I thought you could hit it before you start driving so right when you hit the gas you already have that HP. How long will that HP last? Right now I just have i/h/e and a cam gear that is not adjusted. So do you think I should go wet or dry? I want wet, but if I just have to get a few parts for dry. I wouldent mind.

What parts are on your accord? Cause you have a dry kit.

If you aren't 100 shot or higher you shouldn't bother with a Direct Port system.

Personally I wouldn't shot something as small as 35. Seems like a waste of nitrous to me.

Most nitrous setups have a switch mounted on the throttle body that when you go WOT the nitrous begins to spray. Anytime you are not at WOT the solonoids remain closed and so you aren't sparying.

The added power lasts as long as your nitrous kit is armed and sparing. If you mean how long the bottle lasts well then depends how much you run it. But I can safely kill a bottle in a weekend, sometimes a long Friday night .

My Car is a 1992 Accord LX 5-Speed. I have an F22B1 engine, Header (Wraped), Resonator Cat, 2.5" Mandrel bent exhaust with one resonator, Canaster muffler, Short Ram Intake (Foam Filter), Walbro intank 255 lph fuel pump, Zex Dry Nitrous kit 75 shot, Zex Spark Plugs, MSD 8.5mm wires, AEM Tru-Tyme Cam Gear, Chipped ECU, and that's about it on the engine side. If I left something out it's minor anyway.

Dry kits are fine, Wet are better. If you can afford the wet and have someone in your area that can tune it for you I would spend the extra money on it.

 

Thats cool. I will probally go with a wet kit if I do do this.But what im trying to say is say I Press the nitrous button for 1 second. Now will that shot only last for 1 second? Or will it keep going? So I was going to run at the track I would hold the nitrous button down the whole way down the track? What would you recomend me getting for my motor when I get he nitrous? Like injectors? and stuff like that.

The old days of the nitrous button you hold are almost gone IMO. Now a days the safest way is to have your setup is to have one switch that activates your system (master) then after your system is active there is a switch mounted on the TB. When you go Wide Open Throttle the nitrous is then spraying. So it's spraying the whole time you'll be running. Then when your one you turn off the "master" switch.

My main recommendations are a high volume fuel pump, Adjustable cam gear (makes life easier), and colder plugs.

After that just spray and be safe.

Take it easy.
