NOS is a company, and i belive they make dry kits.... nitrous express makes a good wet kit for our car, 35,50,75 hp jets. i plan on getting it soon... and welcome to the site :D

Dry Shot=nitrous shot into your intake piping, before the throttle body to mix with the air, possibly making inconsistant mixtures in each cylinder.
Wet Shot=nitrous shot directly into your intake manifold with fuel into each intake track after the throttle bodie. Your manifold will have to be drilled and tapped for each nitrous/fuel jet.
isnt it expensive to install wet? and if u wanna take it out later, u gotta buy a new manifold? sorry dont know anything :P - chris

Something like that.
Its about the same price for either kit actually. Personally, i've seen too many engines go cause the driver decided to get cocky and up his shot. Save that 4-500 and put it towards a turbo, much better investment.
Oh and if you are fairly competent about your engine, you can install a N20 kit in a few hours. Or you can pay someone $150 to do it for you...

Nah, I really don't know guys, I would want a turbo, but team pro5 is about to get a wave of turbos. A lot of the members are planning to be turboed. I would love a turbo because Dave and I did a lot with the P5 motor, so I kinda have an idea of what is involved. I was thinking of doing something different though. However, I need something a little less maintanence where I could still have fun here and there. I have an idea why not to run a dry setup but don't know enough about NOS in general. I wouldn't be using it all the time, maybe once or twice a week. Would it be safe to run a wet shot though?
Thanks, Lanson
yo, if u are really serious, my friend has a NOS kit for sale, for like 300/400 or so with full set up. only used twice? just pm me or leave me a note and i can call him up and get more info for u peace - chris

rod and piston upgrade. in other words that will be the only two components you would REPLACE FROM THE STOCK ONES. the rest is misc gaskets, seals, bearings etc. from the mazda dealer in stock form.

Cause you don't use the engine to make HP. You take a NOS car and a turbo car. 1st you can really only spray for 15 sec or so. 2- Can't rev limiter very often. 3- greater risk of blowing your motor. It's just like " hold on, let me turn my bottle on before I race you" :rolleyes:

So would you concider n/a engine "fake horsepower" too because the engine doesn't make the air or the gas to burn? Why would you want to spray for more than 15 seconds anyway, its just for drag racing really, if you need to spray more than 15 seconds to make it down the quarter, then the nitrous isn't really helping you.. But i understand what your saying

No I wouldn't consider a N/A engine fake HP. A N/A car make it's HP internally. Pistons, headwork, intake manifold, exhaust, etc. Yea I agree NOS is good for drag racing. A lot of Full racers use NOS to spool there turbo out of the hole. A T66 is reallt hard to with a low compression B18. , ect. NOS for street use is, :bs:

The whole statement was towards NOS. How NOS is sprayed via direct port or dry set up. All your doing is hitting a switch (throttle activated or button) that triggers a relay to spay the liquid in the intake mani, or b/f throttle body. The reason why I don't like NOS is because it's inconsistant power. Turbo set ups are driven by exhaust and supchergers are driven by belt via crank. :rolleyes: (everyone knows that) With is turbo and S Charger being that way it just feels more raw. :D

Both Wet and Dry Kits Shoot into the intake!! Nitrous is not cheating...The people who say it is are pissed b/c you can get about the same horse power with nitrous for not even half the Price!
Anyone want to compare numbers...Nitrous is the best hp for the dollar!
It's only cheating if you don't tell the person you are racing that you have nitrous!
NOS = Nitrous Oxide Systems...NOt Nitrous!! Get it straight!!
I am not downing anyone who gets a turbo...if i could afford one..i would have gotten one instead..but i am a college student..and this is better for me..b/c i don't have $3,000 for a sweet tubo system!!!

I'm surprised noone has said anything about this, and I'm not dogging on Linux in any way, but this is completely wrong. A wet set up only refers to when you inject both fuel and n2o. It can be plumbed anywhere on the intake tract (where a dry setup would go) and most wet kits use a single nozzle fitted with both a fuel and n2o jet plumbed right before the throttle body. What you were describing Linux is a direct port set up. They are the most precise setup you can get as far as n2o is concerned. Each cylinder gets it's own set of jets, one for fuel and one for n2o. Everything is metered so you run the LEAST risk of all the setups of blowing a motor.
Now as far as dry setups, most do include some form of fuel enrichment when your on the bottle. Most of the time it comes from increasing the fual pressure to the stock injectors.
And as far as weather n2o is cheating? The only people I see who whine about it are the ones who are too scared to use it......but that's just my opinion. n2o is classed as a power adder just like turbos and s chargers....one's mechanical the other's chemical.

Thanks for all your help guys. But I agree with acid bug. I don't have an extra 3,000 dollars for a turbo kit. But, as much as I'd like one, I can't have everything. Chances are I will do the NOS in the future just to get that extra boost and power on tap when I need it. Thanks again.

nitrous would be more economical than turbo right? aside from the price of the actual kit, you wouldn't need to switch to higher octane, and you wouldn't need to use it at every stop light, just when you need it...is that right?
acidbbg
10-25-2003, 11:24 PM
Yeah..It's very economical! I ran nitrous for like 7months..before switching over to a turbo kit! It's not something you would use every single day..but rather..weekends..and such!
Chas
pdhaudio83
10-25-2003, 11:31 PM
you would need a tank 100% highest octane (91+) when running, but other than that, you can run 87 octane. do NOT use nitrous with ANYTHING less than 91 octane! it is a good idea to nearly run out of fuel and then fill up with 91+ octane to steer clear of problems, and again

nitrous is great, its not cheating. but if we are goin to race and you say, "oh my bottle isnt warm yet" or "im low on pressure" or you think you have to purge more then .2 seconds (because thats all it takes) then you are a moron and retard. Also dont be a dumb ass and be like, " i gots a 50 shot yo" they are underrated with shot factors. so take that in account when you decide what you want to run.
also you want to make sure you use a window swich. keep is safe.
side note. dry systems are not bad, bad for our application yes, but if done right they are great.

Cause you don't use the engine to make HP. You take a NOS car and a turbo car. 1st you can really only spray for 15 sec or so. 2- Can't rev limiter very often. 3- greater risk of blowing your motor. It's just like " hold on, let me turn my bottle on before I race you" :rolleyes:
15 sec...no , rule of thumb is more like 8 sec. "can't rev limiter very often"? i dont know wut ur trying say here. greater risk of blowing ur motor? the only risk that ur gonna get out of shooting nos is if the nox was installed fucked up then u get a blown motor 2nd if the user abused the nox ie. shooting nox all 3 races at the same time is a no, no. atleast 2 races then let it sit (idle) for a while b4 shutting down the motor. no power shifting while shooting nos in between. btw they do make the remote bottle opener.
i'd say u wear ur engine more by slapping a turbo or even on a stock turbo vehicle. Allmotor is not a very good option especially on a daily driven vehicle. Nos is the way to go just use it only when needed and wisely.
>dont have nox on my cars now but i plan on shooting soon. Used to shoot back 3 years ago and i was running it for 2 years never had anyproblems w/ the car but a overheated brakes...
