Ugg ... doesn't anybody read?
Wet Kit = GENERIC terme given to a nitrous kit that involves spraying both gasoline and nitrous oxide from the same nozzle. This involves running a fuel solenoid in addition to the nitrous solenoid.
Dry Kit = GENERIC term given to a nitrous kit that injects nitrous oxide ONLY from the nozzle and relies on other means to provide more fuel. Technically, the Venom kits are dry kits since they don't run a fuel solenoid. <--- Period ... End of story
Direct Port = SPECIFIC term given to the way a kit is routed. More specifically, the term defines where the nozzle is placed in relation to the intake tract.
Traditionally, a Direct Port system IS a wet system and is plumbed AFTER the throttle body and places the nozzles as close to the intake valve as possible. This ensures much more accurate nitrous/fuel distribution. It also removes any chance of puddling in the manifold. All these backfire videos that we keep seeing people post is because someone didn't do their homework. Nitrous is as safe as YOU make it.
However, there is no reason why a direct port system can't be a dry system as well.
So, you want a fuel proof safe system ... doesn't get any safer than this:
Direct Port wet system with stand alone fuel delivery. Buy a 5 gallon fuel cell and an inline Walbro fuel pump. This will remove all strain from the stock system. Next, run a fuel pressure switch so that when the system is active and running, if fuel drops below a predetermined flow rate, the nitrous solenoid shuts off. This is of course in addition to the RPM activation window switch and WOT activation switch.
This type of system will take a lot planning and isn't for the faint of heart, but is quite possibly the safest way to run nitrous ... it's how the pro's do it!
