Wet Nitrous Kit vs Dry Nitrous Kit

Wet Nitrous Kit vs Dry Nitrous Kit
There are two main types of Nitrous Systems that are used to produce more horsepower in both cars and trucks. There is the dry nitrous kit and the wet nitrous kit. We receive many emails from our customers asking what the difference is between the two nitrous systems, which nitrous system will produce the most horsepower and torque, and which nitrous system is best for them. We will explore the differences between the dry nitrous system and the wet nitrous system so you can decide which kit is best for you.

Dry Nitrous Kit
The typical dry nitrous kit is one of the most simple nitrous kits available. The kit is called a dry nitrous kit because it injects only nitrous into the engine, and not fuel. Generally, the dry nitrous kit is for people who want a set that allows them to let the ECU or computer automatically add appropriate amounts of fuel to compensate for the added nitrous into the motor. Usually you can get away with a dry nitrous system if you are confident in your car or truck automatically compensating fuel, you have a larger fuel system, or have a way of ensuring there is adequate fuel when the nitrous gets injected.

Wet Nitrous Kit
The typical wet nitrous kit is only of the more popular nitrous kits amongst enthusiasts. The wet nitrous kit injects both nitrous and fuel into the engine at the same time. As with the dry nitrous kit, you still need to have enough fuel in your fuel system for the wet nitrous system to be able to use while the nitrous is being injected. You can setup an external fuel pump specifically for this kit, so when the nitrous is activated, the fuel will come with the external fuel pump, bypassing the stock fuel system. This is a more elaborate wet nitrous system, but can be one of the most reliable setups.

So which kit is better?
There are different theories on which nitrous kit is better, but really it depends on what you want, your current setup, and your budget. We have recommended, and will continue to recommend wet nitrous kits. With a proper setup, you can enjoy nitrous shots of 100 horsepower and more, reliably. Always ensure your motor is capable of holding the extra power.
