I say Wet, the D15 stock doesn't need DPI.

wet is safer and easy to install.

no. DPI is a much more even and equal flow, since it has a individual nozzle per cylinder. not just blasting it into the intake. But a wet kit is still a good kit and a little cheaper,plus it is much less work. You dont have all that plumbing and drilling. I personally run a wet NX kit and of all the N20 kits I have had it is my favorite.

can i see these test

dry system is only safe when a small amount is used......such as a 50shot but anything over 75shot of NOS should be WET system

over 100shot should be Dp

keep in mine 2 step colder spark plugs
every 50 shot=2 degree of retarding

The best is wet and direct port. It's a little more work, and PITA to change jets, but it's well worth it.

I recommend a ZEX dry kit. Mine has been running strong for about 2 years no problems. Whenever someone says this kit is safer is crazy, 99% of the time is the installer/user that blow his engine with nitrous.

will direct port injection give the best results if you have the time and money to spend on that system?

If you really want to know what the best set up is, i suggest directly contacting zex and speaking with one of their engineers. Y our getting a lot of great opinions most of which i hope are based on experience, but for solid info, go to the source. Dont ask sales, ask for an product engineer or tech representative, they are slightly less likely to upsell you, hehe.

Yes, pretty much NO chance of puddling and no cylinder gets more juice than any others. Only downside is most direct port kits run at a much lower fuel pressure than your main fuel system, so you either have to sump the tank and run a seperate low pressure pump, or run a seperate fuel cell just for the nitrous.

I was tuned for 100 shot dry on my last setup with Hondata Nitrous Controls, never had a problem. For the hell of it we pumped it to a 150 shot dry on C16 and I still couldn't blow it up

I'm assuming with the D15 you wouldn't do much more than a 50 shot. If so I'll just go with a basic dry kit for ease of installation and cost effectiveness. I had a NX wet kit on my GSR powered Civic and loved it but nothing wrong with the dry kit. DP might be a bit overkill for a stock D15.
