wet better than dry b/c a wet kit also injectes extra fuel with another injector that comes with the kit. whereas a dry kit depends of the stock fuel injectors to make up the difference. wet has less of a chance to cause detonation on your motor, also getting your car tuned for nitrous will help with the reliablility factor.

the best setup is a direct port kit

I'm building a D15B with a ZC block. All OEM parts, no rebuild. I'm planning on buying a Zex wet kit with a ~50 shot.

I've got no worries about cooking my motor. Just install the kit properly and use a realistic jet setting and you should be fine. I'm assuming you're only going to use it occationally.

The only reason ppl think Nitrous is dangerous is because they dont know what there doing and spray over and over thinking there motor is not getting hot since the dummy gauge doesn't say so. When I used Nitrous I hooked up a EGT sensor so I could see my exhaust temps. I never had any problems on a stock motor.

if you're motor already burns oil, i'd think twice nitrous devours failing piston rings
