Nitrous, Wet or Dry? And Why?

[Marauder.45]

Brand Recommendations as well. Cobra kits or a dedicated Marauder kit? 80-125 shots.

Wifey vetoed S/C. But approved NOS.

Here's what it will go on,

03 27,000miles, K&N CAI, Kooks full system, 4.10s, Stallion 3500, Xcal2,

that's all the go-fast parts,

now I need the go-fast JUICE:burnout:

The search yields 11 pages of results, I think it picks up all the Nitrous listed in sig lines as well. It's not much of a help to dig through all that. Help me out with the most current info guys.

Edelbrock makes a kit specifically for our MMs.

MOST here go w/ a Zex Wet Kit.

That's all I have to say about that.

Instead of me telling you, read this:NITROUS (http://www.barrygrant.com/nitrous/default.aspx?page=115b) the information in this article I agree with and it saves me some writing. Good luck with your decision.:)

Good site.:beer:

If wet is the way to go, I have a tuner friend to help me out,

Zex the way to go.? Use the kit for the Cobra?

I saw another kit in one of the searched threads, can't remember the name, but it was a black bottle. $899 though:depress:

Venom?

Found it

http://www.racetested.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=1&osCsid=513d0a1f0de954188f5e189 3ad9efdd4

Consequently, it was in a thread you started killjoy149

[KillJoy]

Hmmmmm......

Oh yeah! I remember that thread.

Like I said earlier......Zex Wet Kit....universal V8 or the Cobra Kit.....doesn't matter. They are about the same thing.

Very few on here will straight up say FILL IN THE BLANK is the best....or worse.

What I have found is that many use a Zex Wet Kit...... not sure which application it was intended for.

I compemplated juice for a good while, and had decided on the ZEZ Wet, but..... $$$ came into play, and I have now decided on gears, and they are always there and never have to be refilled.

Good luck in your decision.

PS - I guess that wasn't all I had to say. Humph.....go figure.

I would suggest the Zex Adjustable Dry system. IMHO the dry is safer and doesn't risk fuel pooling in the intake manifolds. You can have between 75-125 hp shot, 75 is safe for frequent use , 125 pretty risky, want plenty of retard and good fuel for that run. PM me any specific ?'s you have.

I agree with this. Although I am NOT saying that wet systems are particularly less safe, I do beleive that with lower nitrous levels, dry systems can be safer.

The issue with wet or dry is whether adequate fuel can be delivered. Its about the ability of the injectors to deliver appropriate amounts of fuel on dry based kits. If the nitrous level is in the lower range (125hp shot and under) the injectors can usually provide more than enough fuel. Larger shots tned to be wet systems that ensure adequate fuel deliver.

The only thing I do not like about wet kits on fuel injected cars is that the intake manifolds were never contemplated to deliver automized fuel through the runners. Accordingly, puddling can occur in unexpected areas and amounts within the manifold. A simple backfire and BOOM!

Wet kits are much safer (IMO) in carbuerated applications for this reason.

I'd suggest you search away from this forum when it comes to nitrous applications. I'm not saying that this is a bad place for information, but there hasn't been enough use to really form a good knowledge base. I'd suggest looking at what some of the other mod motor guys are doing.

Good luck.

I think is only fair to give you my complete opinion, a wet kit that is specifically designed for the Marauder intake should avoid the puddling danger, also it can be set up to engage only when you reach WOT right after launch.

Dry will not cause your car to catch on fire, if your fuel supply is inadequate you grenade your motor. It's only fair that I also tell you that nitrous is ok with me....as long as it is in SOMEBODY ELSES car. Ok now you have my complete opinion. Best wishes with your decision.:nos:

[Bootlegger]

Try this site for alot of information on both Wet, and Dry systems, www.Bespoke-n20.com. This is the system I've been running for a couple years with the MM.. I've had no problems with jetting up to 125 hp. BUT, Lidio has installed my different tunes in the car to retard the timing. This kit will supply up to 250hp, if the engine would take it. This is a decision you will have to make, after some research..Hope this helps some.

What Zack said.

[Marauder.45]

Everything is a risk. The guy in the lane next to you could lose it and you're in the wall with him. Can't live by the "What ifs?".

I'm not going over a 125 shot. So if dry gets me where I want to go, so be it. If the main advantage of a wet system is increased mix control at higher shots, I don't really need that.

The shop doing it has plenty of experience with installs on mustangs. I have a friend who does the tuning. So I'm pretty covered in those respects.

I wanted to get some feedback from the guys here. It's not the sole basis of my research or decisions. But I do appreciate everyone's comments. Getting things to work right takes trial and error, no 2 set-ups work the same. Ain't it fun:D

[DirtyDog]

Remember in choosing your kit. The Marauder N2o line is two feet longer than the Cobra line. That two feet can make a difference if you have to go get a 18 foot stainless steel high pressure line to reach from one end to the other.

[Marauder.45]

Good one DD,

Edelbrock makes a dry MM kit. Might be worth the look. I've heard good things.

And there is always the Zex.

[jstevens]

I am going with a 100 shot dry kit. Installed and tuned by the best.

I've been told by the Cobra folks that this is very safe.
