NOS wet or dry kit?

Can somebody help me out by pointing out the differences between a wet and a dry NOS kit? And wich one would be a better fit to an 06 ralliart . Looking forward to your information. Thank you

wet is better, safer and u may use more HP...dry keep it under 30-45 HP...wet kit means more $$$$....use wet kit on RA 70-80 HP shot on +3 on fuel...either use fuel from fuel rail or for safer method(more $$) install another fuel pump just for the nos system...

Dry shot shoots the NOS directly into your engine which in turn means it doesn't premix with fuel. It also only allows NOS to get to the first couple of chambers since it tends to be injected through your intake setup.

Wet kits shoots with a mix of gas and spreads more evenly over your cylinders...

Dry kits are safe for small amounts, but any higher than 40hp you'll want a wet shot. Though wet shots are $$...

Correct me if i'm wrong guys, i'm still learning about the setups but this is what i know or think i know.. haha

i had a zex dry kit in my old focus, it was okay. if you want noticable gains go with the wet kit. my dry kit seemed to do more with show rather than go.

How is the CryO2? I am thinking of getting that for my car. Does it gain as much as NOS? People tell me that CryO2 is really good for turbo cars.

no since is not going into the engine itself....

cryo just 'freezes' whatever you aim it at... people aim it at IM's for example in N/A and turbo guys spray the intercooler.. so no, you will never ever see a 50 to 100hp gain in a cryo system.. is just CO2 nothing more, nothing less

for the n/a they offer a 'intake bubble' wich apparently cools somewhat the intake charge but is not "woa im a rocket" kind of shot

from what I understand the CO2 systems only provide an advantage, they don't add anything. for instance, on a 40* day you will see little to no gain, but on a 100* day you will experience a good gain.

basically, it will lower the temperatures your car sees at the intake, but only if the temperatures are high enough for the co2 to make a difference. liquid co2 is very cold, but the air moves past the cooling bubble so fast the effect is limited.

i wonder if you spray r22 refrigerant(normally used to charge A/C units) on an intercooler if that helps instead of spending money on a cryo2 kit, i have plenty tanks of that at work. just a thought.

I was hoping that I'd see some gains. I guess it is good to cool down my car on those hot days, but for 600 bucks, it doesn't seem worth it. That kind of sucks, because everyone is telling me that it was good, but I guess it was too good to be true.
