Default Dry Or Wet Kit

I have a stock B16 and I want to add Nitrous... A zex kit. I was wondering which is safer a Dry or Wet kit. My motor has been running for 2 years in the high RPMS and never even had a oil leak, misfire,or any other problem. But need a little more juice... Which would you all recommend...!!?!?!?! THANKS

i'd say wet an that what I had on my b16a2 but then I sold the kit because a home made turbo kit gave me way more power then nos plus u can use the power daily

up to 50hp dry is fine. up two 80hp wet is needed. anything over that I would do direct port. and anything over 100hp I would build the bottom end.

so you think that a 75-90 shot on a stock bottom end b16 would be ok?
curious because i will be going nitrous soon on my b16 as well.

Yes. with direct port nitrous, and proper tuning it's completely safe. nitrous is no more dangerous then other forms of forced induction, as long as it's properly tuned. also make sure the motor is strong before doing anything. have fun.

well we'll see how good 60 - 75 shot DP works on a b16 w/ OS ctr pistons...
with proper tuning hopefully it will last

Ok so I do have a built 1.8 Gs-r that I want to do a 100 shot on so I don't want to buy a 2 kits. So I guess I'll go with the wet kit and run a Small amount and get it tuned for it. How does that sound..

what head on your motor? if its a b16 or type r you should check out nitrous express. the have the NXL kit which seems like a kickass kit IMO.

Maybe for you traction is hard enough to locate with just with just running high boost.
