Do not, I repeat, do not get a dry kit. Get a wet kit. Nitrous Express has good stuff as does Zex. Make sure you run one heat range colder plugs and get a full throttle switch and window switch to adjust the rpm's the nitrous kicks in and out. A remote bottle switch is nice if you plan on using it on the street. A dyno tune would not be a bad idea either.

I have a G35 with a Nitrous Express 75 shot. Taking the proper safeguards will protect your motor. Most guys here have said to run 55 to 75 shot at the most on the Si motor. I would agree. Don't go too radical without beefing up the heads with studs and different rods and pistons if you plan on running more than a 100 shot.

Wet kits allow you to safely match the amount of nitrous oxide to the fuel being introduced into the intake manifold. Dry systems run the risk of throwing off your A/F ratio during the shot, potentially causing serious damage.

Most user friendly and reliable kit is the Zex wet kit.The Nitrous xpress and NOS EFI kits are very nice too but require more experience with nitrous to install and operate.

In my opinion, a dry kit is the better choice if you can control fuel properly. For example, once KPro is an option, a dry kit will be the better method.

If K-Pro is an option. I'm becoming pretty skeptical of whether we are going to see a tuning option for the K20Z3 from Hondata before the end of 2008.

Good advice keep them coming,

Who has a kit for our cars that is easy to install because of our drive by wire?
