just a question:
how often do you need to refill your tank?
how many quarter mile runs can you do on one bottle?
oh, guess thats two questions...

 

depends on the shot and depends on the size of the tank depends on engine depends on throttle position average RPMs temperature fuel aerodynamics i.e. is the big aluminium spoiler gonna help? are the altezza's working saving weight? etc etc etc etc etc

 

Question 1: About once every two months during the summer. (Car is stored winters)

Question 2: About 10 runs.

 

its a 50-shot dry

 

i had a dry 50 shot in my accord and with purging and spraying i got in about 9 runs on a bottle. now im running a wet 60 shot cause i just upgraded to a h22 so i figured i'd go with a wet system since i think its better than a dry system.

hopefully my car gets done soon.

 

difference between set and dry?

sorry. I know nothing about Nitrous except it's really fun no matter how you choose how to use it.

 

'dry' system = squirting into throttle body/intake/et al

'wet' system = directly injecting into the fuel supply/rail/et al

I run a Nitrous Works drykit... its easycheesy for the dailydrivenhomomobile like mine.

edit:
I warn you though nitrous is expensive after awhile.. all the 100's of dollars ive waseted filling my bottle back up i coulda been bl0wn

where do inject it into the fuel supply? right at the rail? or do you add a T connector right before the rail?

wht is a fogger?

 

Some people do it with a T in the line to the rail. .. some car specific kits have nifty lil custom banjo's.

what do you wanna know about the fogger/nozzle.. that is a dry system specific component.. its what 'fans' the spray to help atomize the nitrous.

edit: you mean systems that mix fuel/nitrous together, but still inject it via the tb/intake. that is still considered a dry system to my knowledge.... when i bought my nitrous kit 4 years ago that wasnt really an option to me.

uhh yeah.....

sorry I wasn't clear in the question.

but I think I get it.

no power difference between a wet or a dry 50 shot right?

 

I think my understanding of dry/wet nitrous setups is broken due to the fact the terminology gets a lil warped when going between carb'd/FI setups.

After doing some quick reading they do consider systems that inject fuel/nitrous at the tb are infact 'wet' systems. Some cars you have to use wet though, esp on returnless FI setups. (like the AV6's) since the computer controlls the fuel pressure and leaning out would be the result.

"wet" systems however are a lot safer, and generally 'hit' harder. For example a Nitrous Express kit a friend of mine has on his 1996 Cobra was right on. He put a 125hp jet on it, and it added 123hp to the WHEELS. so wet systems generally do yield the rated hp. I normally run the 75hp nozzle, but have put a 125 on a couple times when i got a wild hair up my *** ... shes held solid and it slaps a lot of people in the face... always felt like cheating though.

so to me. sorry for any confusion.

yea, there is a difference between wet and dry performance. wet has more horsepower gains (regardless of what it is i.e. 50-shot wet is faster than 50-shot dry) the only thing is if the air is just travling through your intake slowly (w/o turbo/supercharger) the fuel that is injected with the nitrous (wet) may not make it all the way to the intake manifold causing "an intake backfire". not enough fuel will match the air pumped in. if you have a turbo though...by all means get the wet kit.

 

yah nitrous/fuel pooling in the intake sucks ***..
