Default Nitrous kit questions with blown motor

I bought an 02 TA nhra vert and this kit was on it, I know nothing as far as nitrous goes. I plan on taking the car back to stock. IDK if this is wet/dry, or how big of a shot. Not sure if you can even tell those things by looking at it.

Also they took it to a shop and said the 7th cylinder was cracked. The seller didn't seem to know to much further than what the shop said so it could be less or more. Can I confirm this without ripping it apart. Maybe drain the oil see if there any pieces of metal?

It looks like an OLD dry kit from BACK in the day. I had one of those on my first F-body like back in 2007. LOL!!!

The easiest way to tell if it is a wet kit is to look and see if there is a line from the schrader valve at the front of the passenger side fuel rail. I don't think these particular kits came in a "wet" version.... IIRC.

As far as #7 being "cracked" did he say if it was a cylinder sleeve, the head, piston or anything? "cracked" could be a lot of things.

Could be one of those sneaky Pete systems. The solenoid look like PowerShot level which wouldn't be much bigger than a 125 shot if even that. Save them for purge solenoids.

Man, for an NHRA 02 T/A it looks like it wasn't cared for too well.

I wouldn't even use that kit. It would get a wet kit right quick though

That looks like the NOS 5177 which is a dry kit.

I can see kit being old as I got it off the original owner. Engine bay is ruff idk why lol. The rest of the car is in pretty nice shape has 45k on it.

The seller did mention the sleeve he didn't seem to know anything other than what they told him he said it was at the shop for over a month. Told me the shop didn't seem like tthey knew what they were doing. Gave him a price to fix and then it sat. How can I go about verifying if it's the sleeve?

That is indeed a NOS 5177 dry kit. The solenoid located with main line coming in it is a purge that looks like the system is purging through the radiator as that small brass line is going behind the radiator. The two solenoids below the lid are installed correctly.
