Default Paging anyone who has had nitrous blowback or explosion....

What did it fry under the hood and what did you have to replace? Anyone suffer internal engine damage from it?

Blew the back of the intake out, spider cracked the hood, cracked the lid, broke the lower air box, scorched the MAF, and exploded the check valve in the brake booster. That was pretty much everything that was directly broken b/c of the backfire.
I recently took my stock shortblock apart and found 3 main bearings marginal and 1 bent connecting rod. I don't necessarily blame the n20 for these, but the stocker only had 38000 on it.

Are you guys running dry kits? What size shot? Window switch or anything else. I have been spraying NX wet 100shots a lot, no problems to date. What gives?
