I'm gettin my bottle filled and am trying it for the first time on tuesday. Its just a 40 shot. i'll tell ya how it goes.

good luck man
just be careful

wet or dry?

wet, my mechanics comein with me and showin me how to work it and stuff. and i know it was installed right so i dont' have to worry about it. and its a small shot so don't have to worry about that either

wet is more unstable however use it carefully and right u be aiight my boy runs 75 wet on a neon for bout a year now he is ok u should be good too with a 40 for sho

wet is unstable? since when? I know you can have some puddling, but as for safety a wet system is safer than a dry system.

I don't mind confessing my ignorance, if someone would be kind enough to explain: What's the difference between wet & dry?<p>40 shot - is that a bhp measurement or ?<p>Thanks.

no man wet is knowin to be more dangerous than dry....
the diference in power is hmm lets say 50 shot of we is like 4- 45 shot of dry depending on the car but the torqe wet has a lot more

* 40-45
ohhh if i could only spell in the mornings......

Wet system is mixed with your fuel lines.<p>Dry system is not. going into the intake as a vaper.

There's so much misinformation here, so let me set the record straight:<p>1) Dry shots just inject N20 at the nozzle, then add fuel by increasing the fuel pressure of your stock injectors. Safe up until the point that your fuel pressure reaches ~85psi.<p>2) Wet shots inject the correct amount of fuel and nitrous at the nozzle. This is safe up to the limit of the stock internals. On some applications, some fuel puddling has occured, but I've never seen it happen on a K series manifold. <p>3) This is forced induction, and so belongs in the FI forum.

Thanks, David, for the clarity.<p>[ April 21, 2003: Message edited by: IanL ]</p>

My appologies for not clarifying my response. As for "dangerous" they wouldn't have a dry system on the market if it was dangerous. Although like Dave pointed out, after a certain point the dry system is safe. Safe meaning not a high chance of destrying the enigne. The reason a dry system is "dangerous" after the said 85psi of fuel pressure is because after that point the injectors can not provide the gas required. Therefore causing a lean environment prone to detonation and preignition. The way the dry system is set up is that the nozzle is placed before the MAF/VAF and will shoot the N2O from there. Then it's the computers job to calibrate how much fuel to add to burn the added oxygen. The wet system is safer because it provides it's own supply of gas, sometimes from a seperate fuel pump, but thru the same nozzle. This negates the possibility of a lean environment unless there is a travasty in the design of the system. This is fine in low HP shots as well as high HP shots. I recall something about a limit as to the suitable HP for a wet system. IIRC it was around 250, at that point a direct port configuration would be wise. I could be wrong as this is a vague memory. Now, the dry system will not produce puddling as I stated in the first post, but neither will the wet as long as you have the system set up right (i.e. ran only under full-throttle and no sharp bends in the intake) If there is anymore that I left out, please feel free to add/correct.

I went to the place where i get my work done. and i got my bottle, and put it in then we went for a test drive. and i'm like "this isn't to impressive" so i drive all the way home, and my gauges were still at full psi. so i thought to myself "well mayeb its not to impressive cause its not working and that little boost was just my vris kickin in' so i call him up and he says coem back. and we found out that we were missing a fuse. so we plug it in take it out. and still "not to impressive" at that point i had decided that N20 was completely gay and i didn't like it. so then we come back and check to see if we're getting power to everywhere we needed it. and no we weren't so we hook that up, and try spraying it out the intake with the car off. SUCCESS. so we took it out for a test drive, and wow it was pretty good improvement for a 40 DRY SHOT (sorry if i said wet before i thought i had wet). so ya its a pretty big increase i highly reccoment n20 to anyone who wants a cheap increase in power. AND GET IT SET UP TO GO AT FULL THROTTLE NOT A BUTTON. cause when your really steppin on it do you really want to reach over and press a butotn. its so much better when you ahve the control at your foot

how much
