Default Nitrous ?'s

Well i was lookin at some nitrous today and i have no idea about any of it ecpect for it its injected into ur engine and it makes ya go faster. So whas the difference between wet and dry. I know one is dry and the other is wet but whats the bennifit of each. Also if i were to get some for my 3.8 would i have to do any mods to the engine so it could handle the shot. And if not how big of a shot of Nitrous could i get before i had to do mods so the engine could handle it. One last thing whats the price range of a full set up and how hard is it to install?


Thanks

At your stage, I would say do a google search on nitrous and read as much as you possibly can. I've done a few threads on here about it as well. You need to have a good understanding before aproaching it.

k well im not planning on getting it this summer but maybe a winter project or something. But what about my engine? can i hook up Nitrous to it if it is stock or do i have to upgrade some of the parts? also how big of a shot can it take if u can install it on a stock engine.

And i have been reeading about it and got a pretty good understanding on how it works and some prices. I also read the info on American Muscle about it and it was helpful and gave me a look on everything u need to install the whole kit.

from what i've read on here and other forums 75 is probably the biggest shot you should be putting on a stock 3.8L. All i know...

75 is what I'd go on a stock motor. Cooler plugs are smart.
Dry means you are only adding N20 prior to your MAF, and leaving the fuel addition to your stock parts.
Wet means you are adding N20 and the needed fuel to compensate for it (goes in after the MAF).

When used right, it's fine. Just don't cheap out or take short cuts.

Take a look at the ZEX systems. Looks like a great system for a
nos noobie. Seems like their control module does a constant
watch on your fuel. They also are setting these up for the V6
at 75hp. So that must be a pretty safe number.

I ran 150hp on a 350 chevy motor and never a problem internally and
I ran it regularly (a bottle every weekend) for about 2 years.
