Default Anyone spraying on their s2000?

I was considering running a small shot for the street. Maybe a 50 shot wet from Zex or even the new Recluse system from Venom, however it is dry so I probably wouldnt spray over a 35 shot, unless we could get it to run rich. It would be cool to have a hidden system. Anyone have nitrous and some advice for me?

I used a Zex kit on my Civic.

It was easy to install, and fun to use. If you took the time to hide everything, the install could be almost unnoticable, there some dead giveaways (the 10lbs purple bottle in the trunk) and the nitrous lines in the engine bay, along with the purple box.

However, if you are creative enough, you can hide these too, and make them look like they are part of the engine bay.

Zex would be very difficult to conceal. Im thinking either the NOS Sneaky Pete system, or the NX Incognito system.

Wet shot &gt; Dry shot in almost all cases.

What is your intent - anyone who knows a little about cars is going to notice the extra "line" running to your intake manifold or the special adaptor on the intake manifold, or the injectors that have built in ports for nitrous, or the individual jets going into the intake runners.

If you're trying to be like Vin Diesel in F&F #1 then...............

Haha, no nothing like that.

I guess I just dont want a huge bottle in my trunk. I could always get a standard system and run a smaller bottle. But then again, I dont want a large shot at all, so maybe wet is overkill. More install work, and harder to return to stock.

I just realized the Incognito and Sneeky Pete systems utilize no fuel increase what so ever. I think thats probably too sketchy. Atleast with the Zex the brain bumps up the fuel pressure via the FPR. But then if Im going to spend that much a wet kit isnt too far off anymore. And I suppose all that would be needed to return it to stock would be a X to X adapter to slip into where we cut the fuel line.

In his case, Dry would be a lot better/safer for him. Honda (and other Fuel injected) engine are not dessigned to have fuel ran in te intake manifold. It creates fuel puddling and makes the engine run lean when spraying.

Like I said above, Dry kit would be better for you. It is less to install and you have less to return to stock (when you want to).

Remember: Nitrous is only as safe as the install/tune. IF you do not know how to do it right, you may pay for it.

- dry = nitrous only

- wet = mixture of nitrous AND fuel

- I dunno, maybe im wrong... someone correct me

Wet kits mix the Nitrous and gasoline together BEFORE it reaches the combustion chamber.

Dry kits spray Nitrous into the intake manifold and fuel pressure is increased proportionally allowing the fuel injectors to spray extra gas into the combustion chambers that then mixes with the nitrous.

If enough FP could be achieved to keep a good AF it seems that the injectors would be better at atomizing the fuel than a nozzle would.

On the contrary, wet systems - ESPECIALLY those that (for hondas) have FOUR individual jets (one in each intake runner) you get a far more accurate mix of nitrous/fuel/air then a single dry jet injecting the nitrous into the intake manifold where it sucked into each cylinder with not necessary the same proportions, this screws up the nitrous/air mix but the fuel that is being injected should always be about the same amount. - this ain't the best, but it still works pretty darn good.

I dont want to tap my manifold, incase I decide to sell the car.

Would I be able to achieve a correct A/F ratio with the Incognito system which does not add more fuel what so ever, with less than a 50 shot? Or would a Zex wet or dry system be best?

Do yourself a favor. If you aren't sure if you plan to keep the car or not, DON'T install a nitrous system.

It's addicting. The power is quite the rush, but there comes risks with running a nitrous system - both to your drive train and your driving record.......

So use whatever system you are comfortable with, but be mindful of the risks you will be taking when using your nitrous system.

Also, around here it costs 40 bucks to have a 10lbs bottle filled... you can go through that bottle pretty quick when you "having fun"

I have no plans what so ever of selling the car, but the possibility is always there, but no more than the possibility of me dieing tomarrow is. I also feel that I have enough self control to retain from speeding, and going through a bottle a week, just as I am heavily debating installing a system at all. I talked to the shop that I will have install it, and they say wet regardless of the shot. The S does utilize a return system doesnt it?

I've been running a 50hp jet with my ZEX kit for several months now. Prolly filled the bottle a total of 6 or 7 times. I haven't had any nitrous related issues yet (knock on wood) and I've done no tuning. I wouldn't advise this under any circumstances, but I'm dumb enough to do it. Either way, be careful when you're having fun. IMO, purging out through the vents in my TS hood while cruising the strip is more than worth the price of admission, but I'm also a closet ricer.

Not only do wet kits have individual nozzles for each cylinder, the pressure of the nitrous helps to atomize the fuel.

You are thinking of a Direct Port kit. You can a wet fogger system.
