Sorry guys but after reading americanmuscle's article on nitrous I'm still confused on the difference of wet vs dry and then if it matters if you get the kit for a v8 and it sit for a 6

What I read I think dry is the nitrous is injected in a spont in the air intake sustem where as wet is injecteded in the cly directley like a fuel injector does

Some one spell it out I'm sorry but I'm confused and I know after camming. (Just for thedrag strip) ima use nitrous
Thanks..
Also iwas told dry

Dry is injecting Nitrous only into a motor, done with a nossle. You car's fuel injectors will provide the extra fuel.

Wet is injecting Nitrous and Fuel into the motor with a nossle as well.

As far as a V8 kit compare to a V6 kit, they are all the same. All Nitrous is, is injecting extra oxygen and fuel into the motor to give it more HP. It's tuned with pills. Just make sure the system is jetted to the fuel pressure of your Mustang.

+1, what he said

Ok still slightly confused I was always told go dry by people why is that??

And by the looks of all the pics I saw from instalers on americanmuscle they all showed the injector looking noxxle (for dry injection) in tthe intake/cold air intake tube is that true for all

First off, im going to talk only in "wet kit" terms NO2 and fuel is mixed together in the injection. This is what you should use. Period.

Nitrous can be injected in many ways; on our cars, 99% of the time w/o going to a custom set up, your going to do a shark nozzle. The nozzle you see is screwed into the intake usually very close to the TB, it combines the fuel and NO2 and creates a "fog" (aka fogger nozzle) or mist that combines the two.

For this set up you'll basically run a line from your NO2 bottle to a selonoid that controls flow.
A line from a fuel supply to another selonoid.
Some kits now days have a combined selonoid that makes things much easier. and less messy. Doesn't really matter what you get.

The system will tie into your TPS so that it only can be injected at WOT.

Problem there is that if you floor it from a dead stop it'll inject at those low rpm. Its all about AFR and NO2 can fuck with it. So most people say do not start injection until 3000 rpm.

A "window switch" can control this, it can be programmed to controll what rpm and gear you inject nitrous, such as: if you dont want to spray in 1st gear, it'll block it out. If you want to start spraying at 3200 rpm and stop at 5500, you can set that.

Their are several other safety items for nitrous as well. google is your friend.

You may also have a button that you control when its sprayed, but that leaves room for error on your part that could easily have you towed off the track.

A basic EFI kit will run you 350-450 for our cars, but then you'll want to run the saftey equipment if your smart. Once you get all this together, a "complete" kit can run you up to 1000$ easily!. Then if your "smart" you'll get a tune.


Their is plenty more info out there and I just felt like being nice enough to tell you this much since I half way can stand you. I already have a nitrous thread in the moddular section since alot of GT guys run nitrous, and its all a basic concept with our cars.

...half way stand me? Lol...ok I guess that good and yes I did read on all the items youmention on AM tech guide but I was just confused on wet vs dry and like you said there that shark nozzle and that what I though dry meant...so bottom line is with all the saftey item is the shark nozzle idea/plan bad or ??

[6ixer]

And thanks

How long will a bottle last and do most people use nitro through out their driving day or program it just for when they fell the need to push their care faster?

How long will a shoot give you extra horsepower, does the HP die after as soon as the nitros shoot stops?

[6ixer]

When its not spraying of course you loose hp

[SON1C]

now a days it seems like most go wet because its usually safer especially along with all the safeties available, theres a good article in the 99-04 section about nitrous and the types and other pieces needed

[GreenMustang00]

6ixer, just get a wet kit and call it a day. your cam will work fine with it.

shark nozzle is the only way to do it on our cars unless you drill into each of your intake runners and inject that way lol

at the risk to sound stupid cam doing the shark nozzle include both wyas (wet and dry) as in you can use wet injection via the shark nozzle and its go on a windstar

it says wet is when the fuel and nitrous mix ,before entering the cly, so does that mean i have to cut into my fuel system and it sprays with my fuel threw my fuel injectors...? i read it an i think i understand but still confused, please understand im not a random noob asking about it/first time member....im trying to understand this

2nd the jets are supposed to add the hp at the crank so if i went with 75 shot id prolly make 60-65 and 100 shot about 80-85hp at the wheels

[GreenMustang00]

You need to tap into the fuel system at the fuel rail. Usually at the shrader(sp) valve, otherwise your have to tap into the fuel rail itself. The kits explain it in details. Its hard to fuck up hooking up a kit

You can attach the nitrous line to your screwder valve( cant spell it) , its on your fuel rail and you simply unscrew the plug in the valve and screw on the nitrous line. Other ways are intersecting your fuel lines with a T, or getting a separate fuel cell, but thats not needed on our cars.

Different manufacturers rate their jets for different hp, but they are in the all in the ballpark of what you should get. Although they rate their shots for HP, torque is what you are getting.

You can use this calculator to determine the size you should use.

[mustangmike!]

yeah tq is the big factor. Ive seen some people on a "90" shot get 115hp and 150tq


at the wheels that is, then again that are P&P cammed ect so its flowing even more then a stock vehicle would

[6ixer]

Matt long time no see...you were on mm a lot when I joined a yr ago and jow I hardly see you but anyway

Matt what you getting hp/tq wise and shot wise on your car (I read ur. Sig)
