Re: wet or dry shot nitrous on stock h22 (projectef)
A dry shot is safer for your engine but is weaker than a wet shot, A wet shot will give you more power but is not as safe, a 55 wet shot will give you more power than a 55 dry shot, and nitrous will NOT put you in your seat like you see in movies you will notice more of a difference accelerating on the highway than in the 1/4 mile. Iam running a 75 dry shot and have a zex nitrous kit ive went through about 8 bottles without any problems.

What? A wet shot is much safer because you're adding fuel to prevent a lean condition.
You can tell what kind of difference by the hp rating of the shot.

Direct port nitrous injection, standalone engine management, and a MoTeC system exhaust. Not a bad way to spend 10K.

You forgot to mention spoon engines

Re: wet or dry shot nitrous on stock h22 (Ace$nyper)
Man, I can not believe some of the ignorant posts in this thread. I have used nitrous rigs over 800 hp on back-half cars, so this is a bit more informed.
Wet or dry shots produce the same power (properly tuned). I have tested it on a dyno, back to back and know this for a fact. The amount of nitrous you spray determines the power, how you fuel it does not make a hp differnce. This is direct experience, not talking out of my *** like the above posts.
Wet shots are safer than using a dry shot and hoping your ecu will compensate for the increased need for fuel. Do it right. Direct port is better for big shots, but a single nozzle should be fine for a smaller rig.
Nitrous is very safe and realiable if installed properly and tuned properly (just like any other form of FI). If you are going to use a big shot, go wet and pull a few degrees of timing when you spray (again, just like any other FI). Also, if you really go big, look into a progressive controller. There are several decent ones on the market.
Use a window switch so that you can control the rpm range where you spray; you don't want to bounce off the rev-limiter when you are on the juice. Do not just use a WOT micro-switch and call it a day.
Again, TUNE it. Learn how to read plugs.
I don't spend much time in this section because it is so useless, so PM me if you have questions, as I will probably not see this thread again for months. . . .
Best of luck with your project.

nobody said nitrous was going to "blow" anything up... in this thread... except ricers in bad movies.. Nitrous is a great way to make power, but like anything else should be tuned... people get greedy with boost or nitrous, and the uninformed end up with boat anchors for motors

This post is so informative, I want to put nitrous on my stock ED3.

please tell these guys that a "50 shot" isnt always 50 hp. ive ran nitrous on a few cars, i just cant word things and describe them in detail as to how they work. i can only do it.
colder plugs are a must, pulling timing is a must, and proper fuel under the squeeze is a must. if those 3 are taken into consideration, you could run nitrous 24 hours a day with no problems at all except for having to refill your little blue fun bottle.
BTW, direct port is the only way to go.
