Dry Nitrous Kit

[D1sclaimer]

I just bought an ap1 2000 s2000. I know it has a high compression engine but would a dry 55 shot of nitrous be beneficial for occasional use or would I just be running lean and screwing it up? I just want a little extra umph for cheaper when dragging. I already have the 5122 NOS kit which I bought for my last car but decided to buy the s2k. Should I sell the nitrous kit(never used) or put it on the s2k? Thanks in advance.

I don't know much about NOS. you can find threads on it tho, plus there is always google. I just bought a 2002 with a 75 shot dry set up. I'll be getting it removed and going back to OEM in the next couple of weeks. I've never used it. The previous owner sprayed it a couple of times. I'm having a mechanic check it out for me in the near future, but as far as I can tell the car runs perfect. Pulled the spark plugs and they are a little brown, but no signs of anything bad as far as I can tell. Gonna give the car a full tune up as soon as I get everything back to OEM. I'll post the results. If you are interested in buying the set up, let me know. It looks like a pretty straight forward installation. I personally, don't like the idea of NOS, but it seems to be very economical. I know a couple guys at work that have systems like mine and they seem reliable to me. basically it only sprays at full open throttle when the switch is on. none of that fast/furious hidden button stuff.

i obviously didn't read your post all the way through. didn't see that you already had the set up. the two guys i know have turbo cars (wrx and a evo). they both have 50 shot nos kits. they've owned their cars about the same amount of time around 2 years. no problems that they've told me about. as far as with our high compression being a problem. depends who you talk to. I was talked out of it, because I don't plan on drag racing and if you spray it in a turn, you will most likely spin out or lose traction. My friends seem to like it for drag racing. then again, they don't spray it around town every chance they get. only at the legal races. they haven't blown engines or anything either. they both had to replace their clutches. I think it's okay if you aren't over doing it, and it is set up properly at a reputable shop.

Thanks for the reply! I'm gonna probably ask a couple of mechanics I know first if I decide to use it or not.

Does any one know if this is correct? I went and spoke with a honda tech and he told me that a dry 50-55 shot kit might fool the s2k into cold start mode thus making you lose your vtec, making you lose that pretty redline......... Is this true? Does any one have a dry shot on their spoon??????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !???????????

bumpy for answer

guys on s2ki would know

Some sort of magical power,its the same shit compressed air molicules with the right amount of fuel,same shit,same reaction,nos=no boost,turbo needs boost,nos much better-dont listen to jackasses about your cheating with NOS bullshit,their just mad cause their turbo car cant compare with the instant power nos,brings out,their cheating in the same way,their just to stupid to know,if you want your s2k to kick the shit out of people that dont understand reailty TECHNICARE AUTOMOTIVE 214 352 0499 would love the chance to show you!

Back from the dead!!!! Good way to advertise.

Your science is off a little bit as well with it being "compressed air molecules." Its called nitrous, not NOS. Trust me, anything setup properly can "compare" to other things. Turbos, Superchargers, and nitrous can all compare if setup right. Its all preference.

[s2000isu]

Is that guy being serious? I tried to read his post a few times and it was really strange my eyes started to bleed and my head began to hurt. If you wanna advertise your business or whatever youre doing you might not want to talk like youre right out of fast and the furious. I can tell you I wouldnt allow you to change my muffler bearing no less install a "NOS" kit after your little rant. SH#T dawg dat b da trufe.

I hope your eyes and your head gets better.

Wet shot is much safer. I'd sell the dry kit and pick up a direct port wet kit.

a wet kit is useless under 100.......

[D1sclaimer]

Safer? I've argued with many people on that. They simply don't know how my kit works and don't want to agree. Its not just a solenoid, line, and bottle like LS1 dry kits.

It leaches pressure off the line(a negligible amount) and runs it to the FPR which increases fuel pressure. The result is more fuel and a fine running condition with no chance of intake backfire and no lean spike like wet kits have. If fuel pressure drops, the fuel pressure safety switch turns off the last nitrous solenoid so it doesn't spray nitrous into the intake. Way more safer than running fuel through your intake manifold that wasn't designed to flow fuel if I'd say so.

most kits ive seen do this exact same thing. increase fp by pressurizing the fpr...


what kit do you have or did you mean by "my" kit that it was one you design/sell?

Most people with dry kits that I've seen blow their engines had a Zex kit. Zex is junk and people still go against my advice when buying a dry Zex kit since it "has a brain" and is easier to install. I've done my research on NOS vs Zex for dry kits.

Reasons not to go Zex for dry kits. Their wet kits are good though.
reason 1. No fuel pressure safety switch. If fuel pressure drops, it'll keep spraying.
reason 2. The bleed off to the fpr isn't spring loaded like the NOS kit for dampening. Its just a tee and when first engaged can boost too much pressure and cause the injectors to go static.
reason 3. No brain. Just a circuit board thats a relay. Very deceptive.
reason 4. claims that it won't run with too high psi because the brain. The solenoids themselves are designed to not open with pressure over 1200psi. Thats so the teflon plungers don't get damaged with the pressure. People think its the "brain" stopping it from their marketing.
reason 5. NOS invented this dry style for the 5.0 mustang in 88(I could be wrong on the year) and Zex made a cheaper copy with less safety features, but with better marketing. Kinda like China and U.S. stuff.
reason 6. Who wants a purple junk in your car?

Here is their "brain"

ahahahah... atleast they used a nice parker solenoid

Im getting dyno'd in March or April so I'll have some numbers. I've had plenty of people tell me that I should be running crazy lean and my engine should be blown. 80lbs of nitrous later.... still running strong. I even had one guy tell me that because I raise pressure, its a wet kit now because he had no comeback on s2ki. I even quoted wikipedia and he said that I probably changed the article in wikipedia. Idiots...

the dude is a retard... turbo cars work on the same principle... boost is fed to the FPR and when in boost the FP is raised accordingly. i guess holley figured out the proper amount of pressure to supply depending on flow rate.
