question for nitrous people.....
i am currently getting ready to put a nitrous kit into my car and wondering if anyone could give me any input on which would be a better set up to go with........
i want to run a 75 shot....i was thinking either:
dry shot with an adjustable fuel pressure riser
or just doin a wet shot
both would be tapped into the intake tube via billet spacer im having made...i bought a nitrous book and read that doing a dry shot throught the intake would be safer due to the chance of a wet shot possibly firing prematurely in my intake manifold......
i already have tII secondaries, a tII fuel pump, an safc and an sx fpr......
the system either way is going to be controoled by a master switch, a wot switch and an rpm activated switch to avoid any dumbass mistakes that i could possibly make....
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK MY BEST BET WOULD BE.....am i going the right path or am i totally off?????
thanks,
justin

I wish I was driving!
Are you familiar with what a dry system does for fuel addition?
I have been a long-time nitrous user. I use it on my current cars, and have installed it on past cars. I have seen various dry kits installed by others simply KILL engines
The nitrous backfire created by the puddling of fuel with a wet system can easily be avoided with common sense. Simply, don't engage the engine if it has the chance to bog down. You would never engage the system while at 2000 rpm in fifth gear, that is ridiculous, just as you would never floor it in fifth at 2000 and expect to pull out and pass someone.
Preventing nitrous backfire is simple: only engage the system when the engine has the ability to easily rev. This is from 2000 rpm and up in 1st, 3000 in 2nd, and whenever the auxilary ports are open in 3rd , 4th and 5th gear. (wet or dry system).
USe the master switch, a WOT switch, but forget the window switch. Since each engagement rpm is different for every gear, a window switch would limit your use.
Honestly, go wet. Tuning is so much easier, and there is much less risk to the engine.

Are you going to buy a nitrous kit, or make your own. I have a nitrous express EFI kit on my car. There is no way I would ever put a dry kit on my car. It is to risky. Unless you don't know what your doing it is pretty hard to mess anything up with a wet kit. It's very safe as long as you install everything correctly and have the right amount of fuel going to it. You can mess up a car by running to rich while using nitrous just as easy as running to lean. I would recommend a wet system with a wide open throttle switch.
