Default Ok guys, i need your help

I think I have finally decided that I want to put the spray on my car. I just have a few questions about it. I know I am going to go with NX, I heard they are the most reliable. My questions are.
1. - Is it really that dangerous to use if you have every safety feature, and are only spraying a 100 shot?
2. - Is it possible to make the install interior and exterior, almost completely unnoticable?
3. - Are there any downsides to having it?


Thanks guys, I'm just trying to learn alittle more about it before i go jumping into it! I really appreciate your help! :cheers:

1. - Is it really that dangerous to use if you have every safety feature, and are only spraying a 100 shot?
Yes, For me I had a window switch, fuel pressure saftey, but the fuel solenoid didnt open, something was stopping the plunger. Had to replace the motor.
2. - Is it possible to make the install interior and exterior, almost completely unnoticable?
yes. Hide the bottle in the center compartment, wire the switches in the ashtray. The fogger nossle is the only part that is hard to hide
3. - Are there any downsides to having it?
Bottle fills are 30-35 bucks. N2O is addictive... I was a 2 bottle a week junkie.

Don't rule out a dry shot, just yet.

Wet and dry both have dangers with reguards to the solenoids sticking. But if you're not going to go more than 100hp, then dry could better for you.

I'm biased of course. I chose the NOS dry shot because I thought it would be safer. They give you 2 solenoids in the kit which are mounted in series. When the 2nd one fails you still have a problem, but you might find the bad one during servicing, before that 2nd one fails.

Lots of folks run the NX kit and love it, so will you. :cheers:

I have a dry kit running 130 hp and it is 99.9% hidden. The only way you could find it is if you toolk of my body panels or found the electronics for it. No problems and I love it.

When you say you want it hidden.. what exactly do you mean?? Hidden under the hood or everywhere?? I did not hide mine under the hood, but as far as inside the car.. there is not a trace until you flip open the ash tray :D :D

i will try and gets some pics up of my install. What i can tell you is it take foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever to install nitrous when you want everything super meticulous :yesnod:
