Nitrous

well, I think I have decided that a wet system would be better. The extra fuel being supplied via a seperate line instead of the injectors sounds nice. Any input on this?

get the noszle
new nitrous clip on for your current fi that injects nitrous along with your fuel...
although that would probably make it a dry system...
but hey, upgrade your fi's and get the noszle at the same time
cuz that thing requires like no cutting

The wet system is definately the way to go. Check my site for more info on the install and how well it works.

Hey, the wet system says it is adjustable for 40-60 psi. If you bought the extra jets, could you jet it higher? (or lower) I don't understand why not.

Few things.
1. xiaomingming50, I dont have a clue what the hell you are trying to say, no offense buddy

2. Wet system is always the way to go on a rotary, get yourself and A/F gauge just in case, to monitor your A/F Ratio(duh)

3. The systems are not rated in PSI for the shot. The shot is a rough estimate on how much extra Horspower the nitrous will add(IE a 40 shot will yield approx 40 more horses).

Also, the jets alone do not determine the level of Horsepower that you may add, there is a limit. Different brands of systems have different limits(NOS,Edelbrock, Nitrous Works, Nitrous Express) but here are the guidlines for the NOS systems solenoids.

Powershot- up to 150 Hp shot(this is the solenoid that is on the RX7 Turbo wet kit)

Cheater - up to 250 HP

Pro Shot- up to 400 HP

Super Big shot- up to 500 HP

Adjusting the jets in the fogger nozzle is what determines your shot, but you will never surpass the Nitrous solenoids limitations. Nothing bad will happen. If you jet your fogger for a 230 HP shot, and all you have is a Powershot solenoid, you will be stuck at 150 hp(simply due to the limitation of the solenoid). In that situation you would most likely not even hit close to 150 due to improper jetting.

That was a typo (psi- d'oh! nitrous psi is alot more than that... 950, at the optimum). I know quite a bit about nitrous, and the systems, but not the kits themselves. I would rather build my own system than use a kit.
Actually, as has been said before, get an EGT before you get an a/f ratio. They do the same thing, and the EGT is much more accurate than that glorified flashlight called an a/f ratio meter.

xiaomingming50 is talking about the new NOS system that is installed between the injector and the intake. It is the dumbest thing I have ever seen all it is for is lazy people who are scared to drill bosses in the intake and looks like it would kill atomization of the fuel and make the fuel puddle when the NOS is not on. I could be wrong but I think foggers is the why to go.
