Default how about this kit?

Here is a kit a friend brought over for me to look at. He is asking $300 so I offered him $200.. I think he is going to sell it to me for that.

The kit was on a car with a steeda timing advancer or whatever they are called.. and the guy sprayed 150 shot through it. He blew the car up. It has only been used a couple of times he says..

I think it is a good deal... Just keep in mind that those plastic brackets might not cut it at tech at your local track.

Thanks for the quick reply..

The only thing is .. I had my heart set on the NX wet 4.6 plate kit. and this is a dry kit. It is suppose to work with the computer and its "enrichment module" to richin up the a/f when the nitrous is flowing. I'm just a little scared though..

Another thing.. any good link on how to identify NOS jets?

To get the proper numbers on the jetting. You should go to their website.[/align]It should be on there.Otherwise,the jets are numbered.But you won't know what you're[/align]looking at without the jetting diagram.Wet is the only way to go...[/align]

$200 is a great deal, even $300 is fair w/ the extra's, thats a newer bottle too, i'd guess '04
there is a symbol after all the dot markings.....it looks like an "A" the 2 pairs of numbers b4 and after that symbol are the month and year the bottle was made. a newer bottle is worth $100-$125 alone

if it says .042 it's a 42 jet

wetis the only way to go ???? thats up for discussion , how many guys backfired on a dry kit last year ?? oh yeah none, cuz there is nothing flammable in the intake.

i would pull the fittings on that selonoid right away, purge the heck out of it w/ some nitrous , that tape needs to be completely off, and use paste instead , it's bonehead moves like using tape on fittings that will make a selonoid hang open causing a nitrous explosionand gives nitrous a bad name.

no reason to be scared of a dry kit, it's basically foolproof.

if your not bracket racing for a living and can live w/ et's that are +/- .001 then your good.

buy it, you'd get $350 on ebay all day long probably

I ended up getting that kit for $225.. anyone know of any good web pages that would help on the install as far as running lines and stuff?

also how about a purge kit.. I've been looking one of these kits:
http://www.nitrousdirect.com/purge-kit.html
. I'd like to run dual purge lines out the heat extractors in my hood pointed backwards a little..

can you use a cryo2 purge kit?

If you want to convert it to a wet kit and use your solenoid for a purge, I have some extra parts laying around. Just shoot me a pm.
