Why? A 1.4 on nitrous will beat a 1.5 or 1.6 VTEC any day of the week.

Personally, to the original poster, I'd go wet because it's safer. It's slightly more work to install, but it's worth it IMHO.

i would go dry since your in california. reason being you can always take off your cold air and put the stock arm on and pass smog with the other nos stuff on the engine, and pass smog.

but if you go wet. your going to have to explain why you have your manifold modified. or explain why that stuff is on the manifold.

I'd imagine that he is speaking of a car in Isreal seeing that the US didn't get a D14....

dry/wet kits go in the intake arm, direct port go in the manifold, so i dont think he will have to worry about the smog stuff, and i know a direct port is technically a wet kit but i doubt thats what he would get

Wet would be safer, and in theinterest of longevity, especially on a 1.4L, I'd say WET.

ya go with wet, if you arent nitrous savy, i would go with zex kit they are the most straight forward, least amount of wiring

Nitrous is cool if you're looking for lower 1/4 mile times.

If you are looking for more daily power, get a turbocharger.
