Holley NOS Wet system.

1. its common fact that its better to run wet with turbo.
2. Holley NOS has been around for so long.
3. NOS is easy to get parts for when u need/break them.
4. It will be cheaper than a fogger system.
5. you're local parts store should beable to order the **** you need next day, free shipping.

First off why do you want to run nitrous? You have a boost controller right?
Secondly, direct port will be best but any wet kit will work. NOS noids aren't bad, but don't use powershots. Use larger ones, they come with teflon seals instead of the rubber crap they put in import kits. Thirdly, IM me for some ideas on how you're going to want to tap your intake manifold. It is a bitch, but there are ways to make it much easier than if you do it the traditional way. you can even keep your intake mani bolted up to the head.

i was just wanting to maybe put some nitrous on it to improve my 1/4 mile time, and something to make some more impressive numbers on the dyno, and something to make everyone "OMG, WTF is this guy thinking!?!?!" when i go to shows. plus, when i run higher boost, it'd be good to kinda keep the charge temps down.

currently stock, but i had a Venom, but it didn't fit right, so i am thinking i am going to use a skunk2 when they come out... or maybe keep the stock one and have it ported out, that way i could use the plate system

NX intercooler fogger kit. it costs around $400 or less, and works great. Granted it's not injected into the engine, but the gains are still there.



And, depending on your setup, some of the "overspray" will get sucked into the intake anyhow.. depending on where the intake is located. The kit dropped our times by over a second. (13.9's or so into the high 12's)

you have to mount it on thr front otherwise its not as effective.. you can turn the solidoids up so they dont stick out like that

The NOS plate kits aren't in production, so a call to NOS would be in order for you to get that.

NOS soleniods go out because people dont use purge kits. the no2 sitting in the line rots the plunger inside the soleniod

Nope, close though. The 1000 psi from the nitrous deforms the seals, which causes a nipple on the seal. This nipple blocks part of the nitrous flow, which causes you to run excessively rich when you spray.

because nos used to make (maybe still does) a flapper valve kit for our intake manifolds. they replace your secondaries and its kinda like direct port just none of the drilling bullshit..

If you are using the stock manifold you can tap the middle piece that holds the butterfly valves. Use nylon line instead of hardlines and you'll be good to go.

I've seen it done, but I haven't gotten a chance to do it on my mani yet. A new manifold goes for about $500 on the site I checked, so I'll have to put it off until someone wants to trade mani's with me. Haha, no, my title refers to me asking for "From the darkside" and getting owned by the admin.
