I just finished installing my "dry" set up yesterday and I just need to get the bottle filled .
Its a zex "safe shot" kit which is bacially just a push button activated system . I have a "30hp" jet in right now . I'll post updates soon.

lol, wow this thread was garbage from the get-go. bench racers should not be allowed to post what they read about another persons post about their buddy's friend's mom's mustang and pretend it's applicable here.

if the car can handle 75 more turbo horsepower, it should be able to handle 50 more nitrous horsepower (remember that nitrous and turbo power curves are backwards from each other. nitrous comes in hard, and tapers off, turbo comes in soft and ends much "stronger". this is why you should never spray your engine at low revs. your rods can't handle the shock load of 50 extra hp at 2000rpms)

and thanks to those who posted actual knowledge, not BS gleaned from watching youtube.

^^ Word
I plan on doing first test runs with a .20 jet ie around 20hp just to make sure everything is working right then i'll step it up to either a .30=35hp or .32 =38/39hp@950psi bottle pressure . I have the nozzle about 6/7" away from the tb and the same distance from the maf . I'm at about $160 into my set-up right now , minus the nitrous fill up . I plan on getting a bottle warmer when I find one for cheap and a pressure gauge too . I'll post up dyno and or 1/8 mile numbers real soon , just need more cash lol
Btw my car/motor are under warrenty for 83,000 more miles and my dealer/service department guys are all really cool with my car/warrenty work(no questions asked and they dont care my car is modded) so no worrie's if I happen to ef' the motor up with too much n2o

Remember to run premium fuel.
Perhaps some Lucas or Torco octane booster and 1 step colder plugs... all cheap upgrades that will help you prevent detonation. Especially on a dry shot.

Post some numbers and vids..!

I understand you'd want to run the colder plugs when using the nitrous to avoid detonation, but what's the effect of running one step colder the rest of the time?

I think im gonna stay in the same heat range but go with either the zex plugs or e3 diamond fire plugs . From what i've read its not so much a wrong heat range plug causing detonation with nitrous as the spark plug grounding strap getting too hot and basically turning the spark plug to a glow plug .

agreed, the solenoids was only triggered when the rpm reaches a minimum range of 3,500 and TPS indicating more than 90% opening.

does the wet kit going to make the intake system dirty???

Not really! I have been spraying for three bottles now and no issues with a dirty intake. If anything its cleaner :)

[jekqmb]

Okay so im going to be putting the bottle on in a few weeks after my intake/exhaust setup...But i was wondering if anyone has ran nitrous on this car yet? Im doing a 50 shot Wet, i was wondering if you can get 1 step colder plugs for these cars, and how do the stock clutches hold up? Im shooting for low 15's on nitrous with bolt-ons. Maybe 135-140whp
Ill keep you guys updated! Here is the kit going on! It was on my Redline, this is an NX kit with a dual mainline for two 5 l/b bottles

[blacksandiegovitz]

I just installed mine (set-up for 35 dry shot) a few weeks ago , but haven't filled the tank yet cause I still need to switch plug ( same heat range just with 3 grounding straps ) and want to make the first couple runs @ the track to make sure everything is good . Looks like a sweet kit you got keep us posted

[Mateo]

wow dude cool stuff... if we meet up to take some pics I want a ride

[AlexNet0]

If you are gonna go wet, you might wanna consider another fuel rail you can tap for the "wet" part of the shot, lol. its a return-less fuel system.

however definetely keep us posted, because I am adding nitrous sometime soon as well, and if you find a nice easy way without buying another fuel rail or tapping this one, let me know.

[lilredrocket]

^ Alex I think you are thinking about a direct port system. With a wet inject kit you usually add between the MAF and TB or right after the TB

[AlexNet0]

no, Im talking adding fuel to the nitrous. Wet is spraying nitrous mixed with fuel, dry is nitrous only

[ChinoCharles]

I believe that is incorrect lilredrocket. Direct port is done through the fuel injector (basically). Wet kits are individual ports on the intake manifold runners, and dry kits are done anywhere pre-manifold.
