Some people purge into their wheel wells while doing a burnout. Assuming it's a dry shot, some people do quick purges into their engine if you can figure out a way to cover the noise. Same thing with the exhuast system. Hell if you got medical grade nitrous you could purge into the cockpit and have the funnest race of your life.

I've thought about that to. Since I'm considering a dry kit, I thought about spraying it behind the radiator. Not sure how well the heat of the radiator will mix with the cold nitrous. Might not be a good Idea. I don't know.

that will keep the noise down but it would suck if the purge solenoid stuck open when purging........ It has happened to me before

purge into the engine during burn-out. A couple of quick blips does the job.

This can also lift ring landings or cause nitrous backfires due to not having the induction to pull the nitrous and fuel in.

Ofcourse easier to do with adry system...

I suggest purging under the car during the burn out.

N2O is non-flamable so about anywhere is fair game.

I would've thought backfires were desirable given the popularity of wet systems. They make for great track video

If it's going to stick, I'd rather it happen during purge rather than down-track.

well i would assume if you purge into the motor you will purge before the MAF...then the motor wouldn't lean out nad your good to go.. would work fine with a wet system too.... jsut as long as the line from the purge valve goes before the MAF
