i am thinking about getting nitrous and dont know the difference? does one add more horsepower then the other?

 

A wet kit directport setup will generally give more gains because it meters fuel and nitrous to each cylinder indiviually, instead of depending on manifold distribution like single fogger wet and dry setups.A dry kitt is very easy to install and gives safe reliable gains up to 60 hp, others might disagree, but I think if you want to run safe and reliable above 60 hp directport or a plate system is the way to go unless you have a way to control injector duty cycle under nos engagement.wet kitt single foggers are less than ideal for over 60 hp ,also because of manifold flow issues.hope I did not leave anything out,Jason

 

what shot are you using on your car, 75?

 

I am running 80 shot direct port

 

I will try to answer your question a little more in depth.
There are a few different NOS setups.

1. Dry manifold System
2. Wet Manifold System
3. Direct Port System

1. Dry Manifold System - Consists of 2 Nitrous solinoids and a NOS fuel pressure regulator. This systems is activated with a microswitch on the throttle body at WOT at any given RPM in any gear. Once the nitrous is activated , nitrous passes through the 1st NOS Solinoid , then passes though the NOS Pressure regulator. This bumps up your fuel pressure via your stock fuel pressure regulator. Passes through the second NOS solinoid and comes out through a nozzle placed as close to the throttle plate as possible.

2. Wet Manifold System - Consists of 1 Nitrous solinoid and a Fuel Solinoid. This systems is activated with a microswitch on the throttle body at WOT at any given RPM in any gear. Once the nitrous is activated , nitrous passes through the NOS Solinoid and routed to the "Fogger"nozzle, at this same time fuel passes through the Fuel Solinoid, which is tapped into your fuel line, and is routed into a "Fogger" nozzle. This "Fogger" Nozzle atomizes the fuel and nitrous before it enters the intake planum. This nozzle should be placed at least 12 inches away from the throttle plate to insure atomization.

3. Direct Port System - This system works exactly like a wet manifold system except rather than having one "Fogger" nozzle , you have one per cylinder plumbed into the intake manifold, hence the name "Direct Port" . This is a very aggressive , nitrous kit installed on most of the 11 second all Nitrous powered cars. This is usually controlled with a NOS Nitrous Master which can adjust % of nitrous entering the system per RPM.

 

can you run the direct port kit on stock pistons?

 

I wouldn't see why not! It depends on how much nitrous you run! As long as you tune the system it should be fine!

 

i have a wet system for sale

 

wat does it include....how old is it? and how much do you want for it

 

So, is there any advantage over the systems, beside the fact that I guess direct port is safer?

 

I wouldn't say Direct Port is "Safer" only because it can become just as bad as any nitrous install if the person using it doesn't know what to do! Direct port usually produces the most hp since each cylinder is getting the same amount of nitrous! They are definately safer than the average "Wet" kit! I am not too fond of "Wet" kits since it is very hard to get good atomization!

 

everything to make it work, brand new, $400 firm

 

is it a 50 75 100 wat kind of shot

 

50-150 Adjustable
parts # 5030,5030-fi, 5040, 5040-fi

here is a shot of direct port for you



it just looks so bad ***!!!!

AHHAHAHAHA
ROFL

 

Also a very bad install!!!!!! You ALWAYS mount the NOS solenoid at least 10-12" further away than the fuel solenoid. Fuel at 8-50 psi vs. nitrous at 850-1000 psi. The way that system is set up, the initial shot will be all nitrous and no fuel.

That is not good!

 

well i just converted from dry to singel fogger wet and i feel a huge difference . . only due to the efficiency of the wet system over the dry.
but the direct port is the best due to equal fuel/nitrous distribution .
but the wet kit works fine for me so far. i got it set up for 80 shot right now and its sick .
