44196, wet kit install Posted by klipzracer, Mar-22-01 05:43 PM question for those with a wet kit. does the wet kit require any special modifications when setting up the nozzle/fuel injector part or is it all straight bolt-on? i plan on getting the NOS kit cause it seems pretty popular therefore more options. | |

44197, RE: wet kit install Posted by Stan2gnt, Mar-22-01 06:01 PM Well I dont have a wet kit Yet but you need a scraeder valve tool to remove it from the fuel rail test port. You may need an additional fitting to fit the fuel line to the rail (its probably included). Everything is straight foward. Drilling the intake to mount the nozzle and dilling holes on the firewall to mount the solinoids are the only things that require more than "bolting on". | |

44198, RE: wet kit install Posted by klipzracer, Mar-22-01 06:29 PM drillinng the intake??? but i'm talkin about a wet kit here. it should run in where the fuel injectors go. | |

44199, RE: wet kit install Posted by Stan2gnt, Mar-22-01 08:54 PM I think your confusing "wet" with "direct port". The majority of wet kits are "single fogger" kits which means one nozzle is placed into the intake pipe and its fed both nitrous and fuel which is then dumped into the intake tract. A direct port system is wet too but instead of spraying the nitrous/fuel mixture from a single nozzle before the throttle body a direct port system has a nozzle tapped into each runner on the intake manifold so that each cylinder recieves its seperate dose of nitrous/fuel and closer to the intake valves. You should not be trying to install a direct port kit. It requires removing the manifold, tapping the runners for the nozzle, bending tubing that runs from each nozzle to fuel and nitrous distribution blocks and complexity in general that even experienced installers dont look foward to. You generally need and upgraded pump and fuel pressure regulator to run it. There are way too many points of the install where leaks can develop for someone who's never done one to try it thereselves without ever doing a simple jop first. Changing jets in a direct port system (on our car) also looks like a name calling in fustration task. | |

44200, RE: wet kit install Posted by 96NOS_Eclipse, Mar-22-01 11:26 PM If you get the NOS wet kit (5208)it comes with instructions, but you may want to get the book from Summit (or Jegs, amazon.com etc.), pretty straight forward.(for even people with quite limited knowledge) The only problem we ran into was the lines are exactly as long as you need them. Depending on where you go with solenoids and such, you may not have enough, so plan ahead. | |

44201, RE: wet kit install Posted by klipzracer, Mar-23-01 02:07 PM ahhhhhh. i see, i see so i need not a direct port but a wet and wouldn't my car run rich as hell when i'm not using the nitrous if i got a fuel pump? you said i only need a pump upgrade if i go over 75. so if i get a 75 shot i don't need to upgrade anything? | |

44202, RE: wet kit install Posted by trickedeclipse, Mar-23-01 03:23 PM wow, first of all, let me start by saying stan, short of posting a wet kit install, you have just answered all of my questions about nitrous. michelle, is 5208 the number of the NOS kit i should order for my 1996 eagle talon esi? that's wet right? could one of you guys briefly just answer this question: is tapping a line into the fuel rail a big/hard job? or do you think the average installer (me) would be capable of it with instructions? | |

44203, RE: wet kit install Posted by trickedeclipse, Mar-23-01 03:24 PM one more thing.... i heard a rumor that a "Wet" kit is slightly safer for your engine than a "dry" kit, due to fuel/nos matching problems...is this true? | |
|
44204, RE: wet kit install Posted by Stan2gnt, Mar-23-01 03:45 PM Not Michelle but they have kit 5208 if I recall and that is the one you need (I'm sure of that). Tapping the fuel rail is easy because you simply use the test port already provided on the rail. Remove the screader valve and install the line fitting. Just depressurize the fuel system and/or have plenty of rag ready to catch the fuel. As for the wet vs dry depends on who you ask. Dry kit makers say dry and wet say wet. I dont think anyone has proven eithers case. Either there working for you or there not. | |

44206, RE: wet kit install Posted by klipzracer, Mar-23-01 07:16 PM hmmm...inline pump that's a good idea. i can hook it up to my NOS switch so they both kick in at the same time. superb! | |
