Default Building own wet kit?

Would it be cost effective to build your own custom wet kit? I'm considering building my own "kit." There is a local place that does braided steel lines and fittings, and I would of course buy new noids, jets, nozzle, relays and a used bottle. I would use a WOT, FPSS, and window switch. The only thing is that I don't have much experience with nitrous setups. Could this be done by a novice, and are there any tips or recommendations?

Thanks

I think it could be done very easy/cheap with used jets, nozzles etc. The only things I would buy new are solenoids, but thats just me.

I bet it could be done for like $250.

Search the for sale section. There have been kits selling for around $300.

I picked mine up locally for $275. Just don't chance it with used solenoids. I sent the ones in my kit to NX to have them rebuilt and tested. (FREE)

I've been looking at used kits, but I think it would be cool to have my own creation. I haven't had a good project in a while so it gives me something to do. What nozzle should I go with? Are the NOS Fogger nozzles for direct port use only, or would it work with my setup? If that wouldn't work, is the NX shark nozzle my only other option?

The NX shark nozzle is not your only option.However it is your best option.Do not cheat your self on the nozzle and solenoids.Keep in mind we have new bottles and pure flo valves for 150.00 right now.
