pro's... quick hp pickup, by far the best power to cost ratio

con's... if done improperly say bye bye to the motor... torque steer... no traction <-as if that were a bad thing

Closest to SC your gonna get

Well Plain and simple Fly by wire or drive by wire, Most suggest Window switch for RPM starting around 4000 and my 04 TL stoping at about 6500. Purge is optional but I have it. Also its about $50 everytime you fill a 10# bottle so ante up. I run a 50 shot but have a SC and most all available mods, Luckly my budget doesnt allow for much use but I will say I was a lil disappointed with NOS but I already had all other mods done, the only thing I didnt get was the bottle opener on the fly thats nice if you want to use it without turning it on everyday you can remote while riding. The bottle heater is good for winter time. Thats about it. Im no expert but have ran and had no problems thus far most say dont go over 100shot for NA and they say thats sorta pushing without changing injectors etc. most will say 75shot is safe run 93 octane you should be ok Well good luck and if you buy new kit look to spend around $1000 dollars for just what I have plus install costs. I also heard the high compression ratio is a factor a think 11:1 not sure what your stype is there are people that prob have 1st hand stype on NOS. Yeah well what I said about being disappointed was you know Fast and the Furious of course the warping in the background while being sprayed doesnt happen yeah shoulda known right...

I thought Racinghart went over this before that we can only run Wet systems on our cars becuause the fuel system does not have a return line (or something like that).
Chime in now Racinghart...

Wet Kit

I have the NX wet kit part #20919. I bought it from Summit racing. I originally had gotten the zex kit with the polished bottle, but I decided to NX. Get this yesterday I was cruisin down the EWay. Had my Nos bottle open I rolled up on a G35 with a body kit and get this SKYLINE emblem knowing good and well it was probably just for show. I hit I fliped it on to purge to see if I could get a go, The Asian dude punked out. Anyways I turned the Nos off about a mile down the rode he had time to think about it came rolling up. I let him pass me then I gunned it at about 120 I was pushing him so bad I was at about half trottle. He did have exhuast still I figured with the skyline emblem he had have more than exhuast anyways dont know but that was as bad as the V6 mustang coolies that stick the GT emblem on the side with one tailpipe, gotta love it. Yeah if Racinghart has Stype look at his setup its prob the same kit when you go to buy it at jegs, summit they sould be able to let you know which kit you need.

Thats correct. 04 and up Tls use an internally regulated fuel pressure system so the only way to do it is the way I did it. Wet.(seperate fuel and nitrous jets to induce a predetermined fuel and nitrous ratio) I do have a purge and a wideband for monitoring. Works great and I picked up some nice power from it.
