Which wet nozzle do you think is the best and why? NX, NOS, TNT, Cold Fusion, 860 Products? Which do you perfer, Stainless Steel or Aluminum? Twin or Single Nozzles?
Discuss... :D

i'm running the nos nozzle on my setup and i have had no problems with it. i haven't ruled out switching to the nx shark nozzle.

Cold Fusion makes a very nice high flowing nozzle

Ny-Trex nozzle:judge:

No joke the whole reason I bought a Ny-Trex kit is cause of the nozzle. The gy from NT was at the speed shop the day I was there and had a demo and the NT nozzle sprayed soo much better the other nozzles from the other manufacturers came striaght off the shelf of the speed shop so they werent tampered with. BTW the other nozzles were some edelbrock crap, NOS, colld fusion, the shark nozzle(think its made by NOS or NX not sure) and one other one but dont remember the name. Needless to say the NT nozzle was much better so I bought the kit. Its aluminum btw.

hmm, i'd love to see all the nozzle's go head to head if a person was to test and video it so we could scrutinize the flow patterns.

Ill tlak to the speed shop owner when I go back to texas and see if he is coming back thorugh anytime soon and see if I can get a video of it.

good deal. i am really interested in seeing the results.

I guess some people will believe anything any salesman tells you.. Don't be fooled people...There's a tremendous amount of hype out there

Hmm.. not much of a discussion but it is a start. :D I have a nozzle delima but I am tring to get some unbiased info/opinons before I post my ultimate question.

Well I guess the guy that was with me that has raced jet boats for years and uses nitrous on all his motors knows nothing about it as well. Ill admit that I am fairly new to the nitrous game but when you see it for your own eyes that a certain nozzle sprays a finer mist than the rest then to me it doesnt take a rocket scientist. Im not a FLowmaster kind of guy I do my research and dont just go off brand names and so oh that ones pretty Ill buy it. The other nozzles in the test were pulled off the shelf of the retailer to try not some that Ny-Trex guy brought that coudl ahve been tampered with. The other nozzles didnt stack up some sprayed more of a stream others didnt spray straight(have the nozzle faced one way it would spray off to the side a bit) all of these are either manufacturing defects or poor manufacturing. His nozzle sprayed better than the rest and also the nytrex nozzle that was pulled off the shelf sprayed the same as the one that he got out of his pocket. So IMO there is no hype there. Like I said in an above post when I go back to Texas for thanksgiving Ill ask the shop owner if he can get him to come back and Ill get it on video so everyone can see the difference betweent the main companies.

everyone's an expert...

Just do some research, try not to fall for advertising and hype nonsense..

Boils to down to what you really need and are willing to pay.

We offer top notch flow tested nozzles designed to be better than the rest and at a better price.. but everyone has their opinion and some people are brand loyal etc..

Not brand loyal jsut loyal to the best product. My buddy in his Nissan whatever 4door was spraing a 100 shot with NOS kti I believe and swtched to a NT nozzle and picked up a tenth for just going to a nozzle. Everyone has different opinions and I went on what I have seen in the test and the track results that I saw maybe he hooked better I dunno but he was consistantly running a tenth faster after the nizzle change.:confused:

I would consider a guy that has been using nitorus since the 70s when they had to basically make their own kit cause all the products sucked a pretty damn good expert on nitrous maybe even more so than yourself:D

i will say this about my nos nozzle. when doing my test to ensure it would spray correctly the first time i used it on the track it came out with a fine mist and sprayed in a fan shape as it was supposed too. it also sprayed in the correct direction. 90 degrees. i was happy with the results of my own test. granted, i haven't seen other nozzles spray but i would still like to see how they look compared to my own nozzle.

Can you elaborate on your nozzles a bit? How does the soft-plume distribution (both nitrous and fuel) compare to other nozzle types?

if another nozzle was better than yours would you tell us anyways? :suspiciou

Nope exactly my point he is in the business to sell his product thats why he is laying doubt to my story since I dont hold a degree in "NItrous Technology":judge:

I've had my shark nozzle out for my viewing pleasure. Looks great to me.....that's about all I can add to it. :jest:

Im running a Cold Fusion nozzle with no problems at all.

I have the sharknozzle also, and I was very impressed with the gins that I had after getting rid of the NT nozzle.

I dont have any other experience with nozzles, but I have used the the single shark nozzle, and it worked good. I believe it can flow a 200 or 250 shot if you use the bigger lines.. I dunno if that would be a good idea to flow all that through an intake though :)

Hello to all, I have a little input to add. Nozzles are not the same across the board.. Different mfg build them differently and the way they want it done.
You have your 90 degree nozzles, your 45 or so degree nozzle, you straight nozzle, and your pie cut style nozzles.
Each nozzle has its place in the world. Some at the front others at the rear, Some designs do work better, for example, the fan wet design is not my favor it, but it has worked for the last 30 years, and some companies do not like change.. Now the funny thing is several companies are using the vortec design, and calling it theirs, just a knock off thats all.. Here are several pics I found for different nozzles that are out, the order is in NO WAY shap form or presenation of best to worst...

Ricky

so whos got the best nozzle?

LOL well anyone will say they do..

It just boils down to what you need and expect.. many are very very similar there's not a tremendous amount you can do to change the way a nozzle sprays you're not going to gain 50 more hp from one nozzle to the next.. it's just personal preference really.

so whos got the best nozzle?
I personelly like the SX2 nozzle.. kind of bias thou.
Ricky

Thanks for your input Ricky. That is the kind of info I was looking for. I notice that with the different type of nozzles, some 'pre-atomize' the fuel thru a seperate exit while others use the pressure of the nitrous to atomize and mix the fuel.
I was curious, which spray patterns work better in which locations? Some work better in dual nozzle configs where others work better as a single?

Most will give about the same performance, bout the only way us normal guys will really tell the difference is if we are into drag racing so deep we are up for a NHRA world championship. Some are patented, some are not and have been copied. For the guy that said something to the effect of if you were doing n2o in the 70's... well I was there, putting my first kit on in 1977 and have seen all the newest styles to hit every year and claim this or that, and usually made minimal difference to most if any at all. So, pick what you like and feel is a reasonable cost, and of course look for quality. Stay with name brand stuff for sure, and of course support your site vendors. :playboy:

Ok as far atomizing goes there are several that do it before leaving the nozzle. These will work the best in an efi application single nozzle wet kit. The ones that just slam the nitrous and fuel into and area or a wall space just make a mess of things, and there is even one nozzle that tries to mix the fuel and nitrous about 1/2 inch away from the nozzle. What a joke.
The placement of the nozzle has to be considered. Like the straight designs works best when aiming the nozzle and the intake valve, like on an under the runner type set up, small area and need that straight shot. The 90' degree stuff works well on the outside runner like in a direct port or a single nozzle wet kit. When you are entering 90' or so to the air flow.
There are only a few nozzles I would ever run in one of my cars from the pics shown...
One final point on nozzles, you should always check the flow of your nozzle to make sure there are no defects in the nozzles.. In the past a company sent some one and nitrous was spraying up the fuel hole.. What a mess.
You can see in this intake that different nozzle fit different places.http://www.ls1camaro.net/freehosting/3stages11.jpg

That is one trick set up Ricky. I agree with what you say. I think every manufacture is going to have some less than stellar nozzles, it just happens in any mass produced product. there is even a formula for excepting a certain failure rate, some using a tight rate and some using a sloppy rate. but like you said check them out, you don't want to be the one that your fuel just dribbles out. I think the the vendors on ls1 and the truck forum use good quality nozzles and the failure rate is very low.
