Default Which is safer? Wet or dry nitrous?

I want to get a nitrous kit to throw on my B20Vtec. I've seen many people selling thier Zex kits for pretty good prices. Just wanted to wee which one is safer because i want to run a 75 shot and not have to worry about blowing my motor. I have had a wet kit on my old hatch with a ZC and it ran strong with a 75 shot. Just don't know though if a dry kit will be as safe as a wet kit. Any suggestions help or if any has a kit they are selling for around $300 just let me know. Thanks.

I have a couple of questions. How did they zc handle the 75 shot? Was it a stock zc? I'm running a 50 shot now and I would like to bump it up to a 75 but i'm a little afraid too, can't afford to blow my motor right now.

Just keep it 50 and you'll be aight. My friend had a ZC until he sprayed a 75 shot. Nows there a big hole in the block where I can stick my hand through

My ZC ran strong with the 75 shot for like three months till it got stolen . But like a week before it got stolen i compression tested it and it was still like 160 across the board. It depends on the condition of the motor you have. Mainly do it at your own risk but mine ran perfect.

75 wet on the ZC is easily done. Wet is generally more safe as it keeps your a/f ratio correct without the need for a fpr or s/v-afc. The only drawback is if your valve timing gets fucked and you get backfire into your intake mani.....backfire + gas in mani = no fun. As for your b20 get the wet if you can.

how does wet nitrous work? i know dry is where it hooks up to your intake and direct port is when its hooked up to your fuel injectors but where does wet nitrous hook up?
