Honest opinion, for that price I would be looking at a Direct Port set-up, but that's just me. It's a fine product though.

Unless I skipped over something... you're not really saving that much. I've never trusted e-bay because of the crap my friends got by buying there, even from people with good feedback. If you go to Dave, http://www.nitrodaves.com/outlet/pro...&section_id=19, he's only charging $7 more. Anyway, how much is shipping if you got it from e-bay?

So, in my eyes, it's not a good deal. Now, $600, yes.

Yeah for a ferw hundred more, you can get a nice direct port setup. I spent like 500 on my wet kit, minus window switch and heater.

My buddy has that kit on his '98 Z and he has been known to spray a 250 on the street from time to time. It is a very nice kit, clean appearance, and performs well!

Its a nice kit. The HP numbers have been dead-on on and the install is clean especially since it comes with an electronic TPS switch (most other nitrous kits do not)
Feel free to PM me if you want to see some dyno graphs I did with the NX MAF kit.

No problem steel away..lol// The MAF kit is a wet system, that can be upgraded later in life to be a dual stage.. it is the cleanest install so far for the LS1 cars.. If you mount the bottle on the tunnel I would get Nitrous Outlet's tunnel mount, then just route your line under the carpet up the passenger side kick panel, and there is a large rubber plug in the fire wall just below or stock PCM.. The area you can route you feed line and all wires needed for the install...
Mount you noids on the passenger side cylinder head, again on of Nitrous Outlet's products will work well here.. Then run your fuel and nitrous feed lines to the noids, and then from the noids to the maf...
Nitrous Outlet also sales a MAF noid mouting bracket, I think is pretty clean and keeps the noids really close to the jets...
Anyway in my opinion this is the best kit unless you want to spray a whole bunch of power. then it would be a direct port... The few hundered that a direct cost more than the maf, you could put into accessories, heater, purge, switch panels, remote bottle openers etc..

Hope this helps.

Robert from Nitrouse Direct Replyed to my email. He said that he would chose the TNT f1 kit,
http://texasnitroustechnology.com/st...a25ecc5c6f835e Wet or Dry?
He also suggested a plug and play direct port system, witch I think is over kill for my small 100-150 shot, but heres the link
http://www.nitrousdirect.com/direct-...trous-kit.html

ANd the wet kit he suggested was the
http://www.nitrousdirect.com/ls1-nitrous-kit.html

So my total list of choices is



http://www.nitrousdirect.com/ls1-nitrous-kit.html Wet 35-200 shot - 469.99
http://www.nitrousdirect.com/direct-...trous-kit.html Direct port 100-400 shot- 999.99
http://www.nitrousexpress.com/Pages/GMMassAir.htm Wet 50-150 shot- 904.64
http://texasnitroustechnology.com/st...a25ecc5c6f835e Wet or Dry? 25-250 - 799.00


I am so confused lol. Now I do know how it works though, thank you NX ricky, that helped me a lot. So tne noids control the amount of fule and nitrous gets injected?

I really wish this was a no brainer, like some choices. Theres so many ups and downs to each. I really didnt plan on going with a wet kit b/c if the thought of backfires. And dont I also HAVE to upgrade injectors and pump on my car with that 100-150 wet shot?

THanks!!!!!

EDIT!!!!

For ***** and grins, I went ahead and registerd at NitroDaves. So far in my cart I have

NX-20109-10.......Nitrous Express MAF plate system with 10lb bottle.904.64
NX-15718............Fuel Pressure Safety Switch...............................49.28
NO-bottlebracket..LS1 Transmission Tunnel Mounting Bracket............59.95
ZEX-82010..........Nitrous Purge Kit............................................... 99.95

Total- 1,113.82

Thats a bit more than Id like to spend, but I guess you gotta pay to play. Im sure Im missing some things that I need... Can I cancel the purge kit? I think the last two things on my list arn't needed, I can fab something up for mounting my bottle.. So thats 160 something that I can take off, leaving me right below a grand. What other goodies should I look for?

I would personally stay away from the TNT kit. I have one and the fitment is horrible. If you are going with a wet, the NX MAF kit is the only choice IMO.

Dude....you need to pick a kit, buy it AND HAVE SOMEONE ELSE HOOK IT UP AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT...no offense, but you obviously are very new to nitrous. You don't want to botch a nitrous install and have a major problem.

Find someone in your area who has done installs before...

I have the NX MF MAF kit and it is a great kit. Kin of expensive, but the nicest out there imho.

You really need to get all the other stuff like...
NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .038
all the safety features
do a racetronix pump kit
proper install
some sort of rpm window switch...

you will spend a lot on this process, but done correctly it will be great...done wrong it will be much much more expensive and not very much fun.......

Non taken, your right, I am VERY new to N20. I was planning on having a local speed shop install it, I talked to them a few days ago and they were more than nice, and said they do installs all the time... Sounds really repuatable.

So the fule pumps a must eh? Thats a huge set back, summer 2090 n2o install, here I come!!! lol

So

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-N...spagenameZWDVW

Those will work in a lt1 correct?

And what about the injectors, should upgrade my pump without injectors right?
