Need help with buying nitrous kit?

i am wanting to buy some nitrous for my 02 civic, but i am alittle confused on whether to go with a wet or dry kit. I have heard that if your car isn't turbo or super charged, then you should go with a dry kit. Now i have read another post in this forum that said it would be wise to use a wet kit on our car because it gives the proper fuel and nitrous mix. I just want something that wont hurt my engine and something that is safe. So if anybody has nitrous on their car, please tell me if you have a wet or dry kit, and what you think of it, and any other info would help, i am ready to buy a nitrous kit, just dont know whether wet or dry?

theres a lot of people here that run 50 shot wet kits with no problems, so thats what i would go with.

RSDCivic will become famous soon enough
to do a dry setup youd have to get aftermarket coil packs for a hotter spark to ignite the nitrous and thatd only be good for a 50 shot... wet would definitely be safer and cheaper

sorry but that is a wrong answer. To do a dry setup you need to add extra fuel with the nitrous. So in order for a dry kit to work you either need to add more fuel pressure or more pulsewidth to the injectors.

I would go with a wet setup regardless of it was turbo or not. It is always better to be richer than leaner IMO

go with a nitrous express wet kit. Very good kit. That is what I have on my car right now and I am very happy with it. You can get it at speedpeople.com for pretty cheap. If you dont want to do nx go with the new zex wet kit from circax.com.
