Hey. I bought a Zex wet kit but I want to start out with a dry shot. Can I just jet the N2o side for a 100 shot (32 jet) and spray that way? I wouldn't hook up the fuel lines or anything, I would just leave them unhooked. Would that work? Thanks.

you would have to shoot IN FRONT of the MAF instead of behind.. and you would have to plug the fuel side on the nozzle

Ok. Just out of curiosity, why in front of the maf? How is shooting only n2o with a wet shot different from a dry?

you have to shoot a dry shot in front of the maf so the computer will read the extra air comming into the intake and compensate for it, meaning it will read the nitrous passing through the maf and add more fuel through the injectors. which also means you will have to get bigger injectors so u will be able to put extra fuel in the engine. if u have the fuel and nitrous solenoids u should just go ahead and put on the whole kit as a wet kit.

wet always goes after the maf
dry always before the maf

if u dont want to do the wet kit, just get a dry nozzle. NOS and all other leading companys sell the dry nozzle for around $20.00 ea.

you wont need bigger injectors for smaller shots though.

you are correct, but from personal experiences. how many times will a racer start off at a 100hp shot and in 4 weeks of having it hooked up they are at a 125-150 shot. this may breakout to be an argument on wet and dry nitrous, but in my opinion wet is the way to go.

because with a wet kit u can add the fuel pressure safety switch and make sure you are getting all the extra fuel you will need for the nitrous, and if u arent getting that fuel it just wont work, and it wont do any engine damages.

I agree... that is why i bought the wet kit... got the FPSS... and am workign to hook up my controller (still waiting on it.. will order at the end of week.. :-/ )to the o2 sensor for my a/f also. A rebuild is exspensive, mise well take the precautions. but im never moving from a 100 shot... i dont like nitrous as it is.. lol

what kind of controller are u getting to put on it?

window switch or progressive controller?

Progressive

Thanks for the help. The 32 n2o jet will still spray a 100 shot (flywheel) even in the wet nozzle right? I want to make sure I'm not spraying like 200 or something, lol.

yea if you are running 2 32 jets=100 crank hp

Gabriel

iTrader: (6)

I'm just running one jet though, on the n2o side. The fuel side will be off. What hp would just one 32 jet give and what jet would I need for a 100 hp shot in a single jet application?

The engine may suck air(dirt, water, bugs ) through the open fuel side of the nozzle, I would get a dry nozzle or at least cap off the fuel side of the wet nozzle.

Anywho here is the math for converting dual jets into single jets: (.71 x size of one jet) x 2 = single jet size

(I can't take credit, robert56 posted that in a thread a recently.)

Now i dont know what jets you have, but it would be a single .049 orifice jet to make 100rwhp, I'm pretty sure NX size jets fit zex nozzles.

Use at your own risk, I dont know how much injector you have to spare.

My advice is just to hook up the full wet kit. I mean, if you're under the hood, doing the wiring, it MAY take an extra 20 minutes to hook up the fuel side of the kit...

why cant you spray through the fuel side?

also, a fpss can be installed on a dry shot infact its wired up exactly the same.
just place it in series with the arming switch and no nitrous will be injected when the fp goes low.

Well if you have the kit i would just install everything. I mean... mise well right? Wet is better anyways,.,., at least for our application (as far as i been told.. still asking questions though)

I remember reading a thread on here somewhere about a guy trying to use a wet nozzle for dry and it didn't work. If the search worked I'd find the thread for you. For the life of me I can't see why it wouldn't work but the guy who tried it had some good reasons.

Dragframe

iTrader: (14)

im sure it will work though... but you will have to block off the fuel side and put the nozzel in front of the MAF.... should all work. You jsut have to figure out the jet size.

Spenser309

i think ts6 means that the guy was spraying through both sides of the nozzle.

Robert56

You can spray through both sides if you like, then back to dual jet size. really nozzle design for a dry hit, about anything will work, even no nozzle. On the lex platform dry is in fact a safer way to go. the fallacy that somehow wet is better/safer never ceases to amaze me. you guys should do some research/reading, then the facts would support your statements. Not busting anyone's ***** but... If you want the run down on how dry is safer, supported by the facts, I would be happy to post about a 1/2 dzen quick simple reasons. Dry rules, but wet is fine also, if you choose so based on the real facts and not hearsay and false speculation.
