Hey guys. I was just wondering which is safer spraying a dry or wet 100 shot? What are the pros and cons of both.

P.S sorry guys TYPO, I fixed it!:)

Spraying a 100 shot or......... :confused:

ICULUKN-C5

Spraying a 100 shot:
Pro- it will take a week to wipe the smile off your face
cost 1200.00 for 100 RWHP
get tons of torque
Con-
possibilty of cracking a piston, if your system malfunctions.
you will go through rear tires faster
cost 1200.00
nitrous cost 35 bucks or so to fill a bottle.
bottle only lasts 7 quarter mile runs with a 100 shot

Oh ok,

Dry shot- injects N20 only, relies on your stock injectors to supply the additional fuel to prevent a lean engine damaging condition.

Wet shot- injects both N20 and the additional fuel to get you the proper air/fuel ratio.

Some people don't feel comfortable relying on the stock fuel system to be able to keep up with the fuel requirements for a big shot of N20. I would guess that a 150 shot would be pushing it safety wise and go for wet kits after that point.

On the flip side there are arguements that the stock LS1/6 intakes were not designed to flow fuel and that puddling in the intake could occur causing a potential backfire condition. There are however a lot of people using N20 with great success so I don't know how valid a concern this is in reality. Also with a wet kit, if your fuel solenoid happens to fail then a meltdown is pretty likely.

My $.02 is that at a 100 shot, you should be fine with either kit. I would do a dry kit. If you are going to go for a higher shot eventually, go for the wet kit.

I don't understand, if a fuel solnoid fails wouldn't it be like a dry kit? I ordered the NX Gemini kit that includes a new MAF that the lines go into. :confused:

Ok so if I only plan on going with a 100 shot I should stick with a dry kit? Is there any way to stop the puddling or maintenence to keep it to a minimum if I shoot a wet shot?

I've been using a wet kit for about 2 years now without one single problem :) Was running 150 shot, but now I'm back down to 100 since the bottom end is still stock. I'm using the RM Racing kit which was built for them by Nitrous Express. I don't reccommend this kit since it was WAY to expensive for what you get, however it has many built in saftey features which I really like.

BTW, how did the dyno day go for you last week? Unfortunately, I was out of town or I would have been there! :cheers:

Jeffh355,

NO, it is not the same. With dry kit, the nozzle is installed before the maf. And the air from N20 get metered by the maf as it entered the intake. The maf then relay this information to the PCM so it can compensate more fuel through the injectors.

Where as on the wet kit, the nozzle get installed after the MAF so the computer won't know how much air is coming in from N20. You're depending on the fuel solenoid to spray in the extra make.

Does that make sense?

Thanx Tuan, I understand and that makes perfect sence. Now for added safety could I just run a tee , 2 fuel solnoids, back to another tee and to the jet as a back up? Why does that sound just too simple to do?:cheers:

Actually, this isn't accurate. The RM Racing kit was designed by RM Racing using Nitrous Express parts. It wasn't "built for them" by Nitrous Express.

I agree with you that it is WAY too expensive.
