My friend just offerend me a kit for FREE, but it's a dry setup. I was think about converting it to wet and running a small shot but don't know how big i can go though. I was thinking jus a 35-40 shot for now. Could i run the dry setup or would it be safer to go wet. I've installed 3 kits already so I know hot it works and setup, but all the cars were NA. I don't know how it effects turbo cars.

My mods in in my profile. When I dynoed my car last week, my A/F was at about 12:2 after full boost till redline. And my base fuel pressure is at 40. I don't have a AFPR to adjust it.

Only my opinion but, with a turbo vehicle a wet shot is usually safer because you know you have the fuel supply you need. With a turbo you're shoving air into the engine and with the nitrous your doing the same thing so your computer has to compensate for it and calculate how much fuel gets thrown in. Why make your car do the work, put the fuel in yourself and get it over with.

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C),
it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide
into an engine means that more oxygen is available during
combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject
more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous
oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant
horsepower boost to any gasoline engine. So nitros is not really forced induction rather ingested N2o molecules that break down upon firing... and it allows more air/fuel to take place... just upgrade your fuel pump... and adjustable FPR... cooler plugs and HAVE AT IT

What exactly does that have to do with his question? He mentioned he has used nitrous before, so I'm sure he knows how it works, but wanted ot see if he should convert to a wet kit.

For that small of a shot, you *could* get away with a dry kit, however I would like to see you get a wet kit for safety reasons, and it's less than $100 to convert it. You'll be safer in the long run, and when you get the need to go faster, you can run a larger shot safely.

DSMZEX, since you like to talk tech about nitrous...do you know WHY the mixture is N2O and why the molecule splits?

Regards,

what should the base FP be set at when running n2o. Right now, I'm at 40. I picked up that dry system for 60 bucks, I'm gonna upgrade it to a wet setup and I can get the purge for free. The kit i got came with 55 shot jets.
