Best Beginner N2O set up? Help..
Allright, so my PGTs stock, and I'll add a few things like CAI and exhaust and a few other little odds 'n' ends, but, I wouldent mind adding a small shot of N20. I know this much abot N2O tho ---> . <--- I dont want to have to worry about blowing up my engine (137k miles...) so it would have to be a very small shot. Also, do I want a wet or dry kit? Difference? How hard is it to install?
Thanks...

That doesn't mean anything. I knew nitrous goes in the intake and car goes faster when I wanted to get a kit. I asked nOOb questions like the difference between a wet and dry shot, how to read plugs, etc...
When I went turbo I knew it forced air into the intake by impellers driven by exhaust gas... that's about it.
But that's how I learned, started researching, looking through posts on PT, asking questions, now I can rattle off anything nitrous or turbo related without thinking.
loser666: read through the FYI posts, it will answer most your questions. I prefer a wet kit to the dry, but if you want to stay with a small shot I would lean towards a dry setup. Dry injects nitrous and alters vac pressure to the fpr to make it boost the fuel pressure at the injectors. The wet kit injects nitrous and fuel into the intake stream, which leaves the injectors operating stock but requires you to tap a fuel line. (not hard) Kits can be had used on ebay for about $300-350. I think installing nitrous is about as hard as putting in a headunit and amp/sub. Got some wiring to do, drilling holes to mount the bottle in the trunk, run lines, etc...Previously: 93 PGT Turbo...you know, back when you had to build the setup yourself.

Before installing nitrous, you mentioned the high mileage. How's the oveall condition of the engine? Has the maintenance been kept up? Check the compression, do a tune-up, and buy a high performance clutch.
Both wet and dry kits are similar to install. The most problems lie in the wiring. Many probe owners have posted their experiences with various set-ups, so read through them, pick the one you like and is successful, and go from there.2015 Audi Q3 - Stock |

I know my car stuff, I just dont have much experiance doing it, I agree, it probobly isnt the est for someone beginner, but Ive never one to let that stop me. I learn by doing, not reading. Im just saying...
Anyway, I just bought the car, and havnt really gotten a chance to check everything, I know the people I bought it from, and I know he didnt trash the car, not saying he babied it, but it was kept up. It runs smooth (except for the timing belt, but thats getting fixed right now) but we'll see when I get it back...
Oh, and for the record, if I was going to just slap on a nitrous system, would I be asking questions and doing research? Im just kidding, I see what your saying, and I can see exactly where your comming from.

If your Probe isnt your daily driver, then install whatever, however you want. If you rely on this car research is key - I knwo its been said alot but it cannot be said enough.
Nitrous is destructive, and will shorten the life of your engine - period. You are running many risks when putting a nitrous system on a car. You have to pay attention to alot of things once you are running N2O, spark plugs, fuel, etc. Movie hype has made this seem like the answer to safe & easy HP but it really isnt.
For a well educated Probe owner it can be fairly trouble-free. If you dont know the basics of how it works, why it works and what all of the parts do - and if you can only learn by doing buy a kit and assemble it, inspect the parts and find out how they work before they ever go on your car.
It sounds so safe now to say I am running NOS, but you tell somone you are pumping your cylinders full of nitrogen and sparking it up - people in a 5 mile radius would run away in panic.
