I have the wet kit on my s2000. It has a single "dummy proof" box with line in for fuel and line in for N20 and line out for fuel and line out for N20. There are 2 leads for power, 2 leads for the TPS, and 2 leads for the arm switch. There is a light on the unit. You put it in learn mode to learn the WOT position, and then check to see if it's working at WOT by opening the butterfly all the way and listening for the solenoids to kick.

Nitrous shot is adjusted by nozzles that go into the injection port. You have a nozzle for fuel and a nozzle for N20. Mix and match sizes to get the level of HP you're looking for.

Dry shots are a bad idea - do a wet shot for longevity and peace of mind.

Without a heater, on the standard bottle, you should get 4-5 good 1/4 mile bursts at 60-75hp, and then some power increase in the additional 10-15 1/4 mile size burst. With a bottle heater, you should get 10-15 good passes on a single fill. Add a bottle heater, remote opener, pressure gauge, addiitional bottle, etc. You can get fancy with it.

Bottle is going to run about $35-$40 to fill up.

That auction looks to be the complete kit. You'll need some sort of thread tap to screw the injector into your intake, or just buy the P2R TB spacer, which has a port.

Zero lag, and boost will probably start dropping off at 3500 rpms on our cars lol


I would do the nitrous.. It's the easiest (if you know what you're doing) and cheapest route to get some good power out of your car.... I'm going to be getting a NX wet kit soon

thanks for the advise,you anwsered 2 of my questions in your response."how much does it cost for fill up's"and where's a good place to put the injection nossle. If I do win, I will probally asking questions.The spacer sounds like a great idea. Is the spacer already threded?

It's threaded, in the same thread that I'm sure some sort of nitrous kit uses - but not necessarily the ZEX. The guys at P2R could probably tell you for certain.

with a dry system u dont make as much power if u were spraying a wet shot with the same jet. u dont add fuel and nitrous like in a wet system u just spray nitrous and the fuel is added by the ecu. theirs a lot more to that but those are the differences. and dry shot is a lot, a lot easier to install

the jet hp is to the engine, not the wheels. so auto and manual is diff in power. wet system will give more power bc it shoots nitrous and fuel and they atomize in the intake manifold and then the ecu also spray the normal amount of fuel and sucks in the normal amount of air, thus giving a better mix and more power. with a big enough shot (dont know the max on a wet kit) but u can max out the fuel pump. and theirs a lot more work, knowledge, and plumbing involved in this kit.


dry system just shoots nitrous and the zex system monitors the fuel pressure by reading off the fuel pressure regulator and that will add the appropriate amount of fuel, which isnt always the perfect amount and not making as much power as it can. u put the nozzle before the tb so the ecu can monitor the amount of air going in and add fuel if needed. if u shoot a dry shot and have a big enough jet (id say about 150) u will max out the injectors and or pump, and thats the step ppl skip and the engine goes to shit. my 125 dry is holding up good, i also installed a walbro 225lph fuel pump for safety measures

either way i have tons of fun with my dry kit, and beat some cocky ass kids. puts a smile on my face. gonna dyno the car this sunday
i can go on and on but im tired, just google what questions u have.

Spraying fuel with the nitrous also helps prevent the engine from blowing the tops off your pistons. N20 isn't rocket fuel, it's an oxidizer - basically it's presence allows the engine to breathe substantially more Oxygen in less time.

Remember the equation - fuel - fire - air. You change the air, you need to change the other two. Cooler plugs are a MUST for any large spray Nitrous setup (Zex makes some, but they're junk IMO) and you will lose a little power on the daily driving using them. Adding fuel to the spray mix keeps it from leaning out - though it's still possible to do so - just much, much harder.

Forgot about the spark plugs. I got the one step colder plugs. Been holding up great so far. What other spark plugs would u recomend?

Getting it tuned will help out a lot. I see my fuel drop down a lot when I spray. Kinda sad of how muvh fuel a 125 shot needs

This is what I got for 220. I got the bottle,the box,the long line,a purge setup,6 jets and a couple of switches,and 2 bottle brackets.
And now that I'm home I dont have the short line or no nozzle.Is that all I'm missing.

Invest in a bottle warmer. Keep the bottle temp at the right temp for maximum power and longevity(spelling) I have sprayed 3 times at the track and a few highway runs. Still have over 750psi in one bottle. Also have another bottle, just in case

U need a piggyback to adjust the timing on our cars. I didn't touch my timing and all good so far.

The middle wire is the one that reads the voltage from .5v (closed) to 4.5v (open).
