Default Can I convert my

NX single nozzle wet kit to a dry, using the same nozzle?

I was thinking about just disconnecting the fuel solenoid and moving the nozzle, with this work alright?

Will the jet sizes act the same?

Not sure on the jet sizes. Just make sure you have the nozzle before the MAF otherwise the MAF will not compensate for more air coming in. Why go to dry? Wet hits so much harder.

Yep, you can. Like said move nozzle before the maf, and then either cap the fuel side of nozzle or you can nitrous through it also.

Maybe for the track only. I wouldnt want nor would recommend driving around full time without an airfilter. I have seen a few people just drill a small hole in the airfilter and stick the nozzle through it. You can easily make a hidden kit that way. You can also just put a hole in your lid for it. But I just dont understand why you would want to go from wet to dry. You would want a more conservative tune with a dry setup which will meen a little less power when N/A. Also if you dont have bigger injectors your gonna need them with the mods in your sig and a dry kit since the fuel will now be coming from the injectors instead of the nozzle/fuel selonoid. R u just trying to clean up the engine bay, IMO wet kits hit harder and see bettter #'s.

Well, I have the spark at 23*, 42lbs FMS injectors, Walbro 340, and just installed a hotwire kit.

The reason, well the NX fuel solenoid crapped out and I don't have time to get a new one, the only thing they have on Island is NOS and Edelbrock fuel solenoids.

NX fuel selonoids have a lifetime warranty if I remember correctly. Call NX and they will have you send it in, fix it (or replace it) then send you one back.

Sure seems with the new gas additives that more and more fuel noid problems are being seen. I sure hope the manufaturers are listening. Makes me rethink adding 3rd stage wet.
98Blubrd, you should get your facts in order before touting this or that. For those in the know, it just makes you look foolish. Nothing personal, but so much misinformation out there concerning dry hits that I decided that since I am no longer a mod I will start calling BS when i see it.

Thanks, with shipping to Hawaii, it might be cheaper or the same to buy a new one


I converted it dry for now, mounted the nozzle in my FTRA in the middle pointed stright up.

I'm going to test it out this weekend, what's the most I should try spraying on this single nozzle
