Ok I bought a dry nitrous kit and everyone told me to get rid of it and go wet, well i sold it and plan on buying a new kit, what brand and type(wet or dry) should i get and why. also is installation alot harder on wet kit, i know you need to tap in your intake manifold but let me know, also i dont plan on fully building my motor either, block wise that is so keep that in mind.
Thanks alot
Thanks alot
NOS kit #5123
There is no need to drill/tap the manifold. It is still done in the intake/charge pipe before the throttle body butterfly plate. It just happens to have a nozzle that gets fuel and nitrous injected through it into the runners and combustion chambers. The kit will be good on a Honda for about 150 hp max.
The hardest thing that you will have between the hook ups of a wet kit over a dry kit is feeding the fuel solenoid for the wet kit on a stock motor. The only reason why I say that is, if your motor is pretty much stock, you will be less likely to have aftermarket fuel rail, and or regulator that have extra ports that make hook ups for stuff like that a breeze. Without that, you will have to just get fuel from most likely the top of the filter. I think they sell banjos that are already to go for that as well now that I think about it. Otherwise remove it and drill and tap it real quick, it's pretty simple.

I'd avoid the cheap Mexican Made NOS stuff if it were me, the price wars have driven their quality into the toilet. Also you really don't want to be tapping in before the TB if you can help it. Fuel does not like to atomize with -60* nitrous oxide in the first place and the farther you try to make that plume go, the more the fuel is going to want to fall out of suspension.
dry kits rely on fuel injectors supplying the fuel. unfortunately most Honda oem injectors run 100% duty cycle. even with raising the fuel pressure as dry systems do is first of all not good for the injectors, and secondly you are playing with running and maxing out the injectors at their new fuel pressure. go wet. much safer

whats the difference in cost, how big of shot could you run safely with stock block, and what mods what be good with nitrous without touching the block
60% of what the engine makes normally is a safe figure, there is like a 50 dollar difference from a wet kit to a dry kit, but of course if you want the best and most reliable get a direct port kit, it assures equal N20 and gas in each cylinder
wet is the safest.....but you could raise fuel prssure.but then you take a chance of washing down your cylinders w/fuel.
but if your going big and want to do it right....pm me for info or read some of the threads i have posted in.you can also reach me at
