i am here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , i am still learning, i have the nx wet kit with gauge and heater. you have to have the heater. i spray right between the blower and the intake. so far i have only tried the 35 shot, the gtech showed a .5 sec reduction in ET.

if the track is open on saturday i hope to make a few runs and figure out what makes the best power.

i hope to make these runs

6psi
8psi
6psi, 35 shot
8psi, 35 shot
6psi, 50 shot

i am very curious to see if the 6psi with 50shot or the 8psi with the 35shot does better.

my set up is non interdcooled so the nitrous may do more for me than a setup that isn't runing such hot air into the motor.

go to a supra forum like the one you were doging those guys on and ask in there. alot of times they shoot it through there turbos to make them spool faster. but i don't know.

N20 enters the engin cold (small) and after combution it expands like crazy. The hot (biger) exhaust than leaves and spools the turbo faster than it would be able to do on its own.

Also you can purge onto the intercooler to help it get a little colder, AND if you intruduec the N2O befor the intercooler you can get a small improvement in cooling the intercooler.

AND you can spray ONTO the intercooler in the staging lanes and cool the intercooler befor a run; that can be worth a few 10's of a sec.

Turbos love N2O.

Sorry about all the typos, but Turbos and Nos get me going a little.

If you SOULD NOT run a wet shot. The exhaust side of the turbo will get 'glow in the dark' red hot. You do not want the risk of excess fuel build up in the intercooler and/or turbo and the heat of the turbo or a back fire to turn the front end of your truck into a bomb. Also you do not want the risk of your blowoff (some times called a popoff or bypass valve) to send the N2O/fuel mix into the air under your hood. and the heat from the turbo charged exhaust set it off.

So with out a doubt, you will be safer with a dry shot.
