is this a dry system?
i bought this nitrous setup from a swapmeet and he said it was a wet kit but i took it apart and didnt see any jets? here are a couple of pictures of everything on the fuel side of the pate to the solenoid.
can someone fill me in on what kind of setup this is? im probably going to switch over to new edlebrock stuff but i want to sell this and need to know what it is first.

here are the pictures:

if its got fuel solenoids and lines its a wet kit, just cuz it doesnt have jets doesnt mean anything, even dry kits have jets. i cant see the pics i just see the red x, but from what you tell me, its a wet kit if it has nitrous AND fuel, you just need to get jets which is pretty easy to get

that is what came with the kit that i bought but i dont see any jets why would there not be any with it? when i took it apart it was obviosly run just like i took it apart so it is kinda wierd to me but idk a ton on nitrous systems this looks like an old system so things are probably different about it.

It was not run like this because the lines could never tighten down correctly,either way those solenoids wont flow more 175hp.So it doesnt really matter how big a jet you put in it ,not saying you would .But iam gonna say its an old powershot kit ,heres your #s.These are good for powershot,superpowershot,and cheater plates.
N20 / FUEL
.047 .053= 100HP
.055 .061=125HP
.063 .071=150HP
.073 .082=175HP

I've seen this exact setup and there were NO jets nor a place to put them. I didn't take it all off of the car but it looked to me like it was supposed to be jetted at the solenoids and someone replaced the lines with hard lines. I don't know if NOS made a kit that was pre jetted but you may want to call. I can't see where you would put a jet in that setup because it's all flare fitting.

homebrewed- i am thinking it is an old powershot kit the fuel solenoid is a powershot solenoid and the nitrous solenoid was replaced with a compucar solenoid.
i am going to sell all of it anyways and get a edlebrock plate set up and keep my bottle and main line, does anyone see a problem with that not working out the bottle is a NOS bottle i dont think it should be a problem but i want to make sure.
that is what i was thinking i dont see where a jet would go but i guess i can give nos a call and see what they say.

that is the basic NOS powershot system. they do not have jetting. you have to get the super powershot to get jets. if i remember right it is a 100 shot plate.

yeah thats a powershot kit, its fixed a 125 shot, as far as plugs go, i run NGK tr-6's gapped at .035. you can also used autolite 103's with the same gap.
heres a pic of where i have my bottle mounted, i use the 860 performance bracket you can get at nitrous outlet or thunder racing. its for a 4th gen so you have to make a few mods to make it work, where i have it mounted i can use a 10 or a 15lb botttle without any clearance issues.

that looks good but i think i want to have mine visible im having it painted to match the car and going to get some kinda pinstriping done on it. how did you run the main line through the car? or did you cut a hole and run it under the car? thanks for the info on the plugs btw.

i just drilled a hole with a rubber grommet through the trunk and ran it under the frame, i dont think n20 or any pressurized lines inside the car will pass nhra tech.
