How do you know if the kit is a dry or wet? Buying used kit... - Honda Prelude Forum

I'm buying a used kit from a friend... Not sure if it's dry or wet. I want it to be a wet, but if it isn't, what do I need for it to be a wet? Thanks!

if its a zex kit it will be dry, becuase they only make dry kits. If it is a NOS or NX kit there will be 2 soleniods (1 for nitrous and 1 for fuel) for wet kits

Ahhh... Ok. It's a NOS kit, so if there are 2 solenoids its a wet, if only one its a dry?

No, some NOS dry kits come with two nitrous solenoids. Basically, if the kit comes with a fuel noid then it is a wet kit.

How do I know if it comes with a fuel noid? I can go look at it in person whenever I want, so what should I look for to make sure its a wet?

Also, if it's not, how difficult and costly would it be to make it a wet?

look at the fogger nozzle. If it is shaped like a "Y" it is a wet kit.

It has red trim instead of blue and it says "fuel" on it.

Ahh... OK thanks fella's! I'll be on the gas soon... hooray!

I have a dry NOS kit that has two nitrous solenoids.

CanadaPreludeSE · 12-17-2002, 09:00 PM

Yes dry kits have two, one for vacuum for your FPR

But a wet kit has one that says Fuel on it and it is red I believe!

Anton BB6 · 12-17-2002, 11:48 PM

Well it is a dry... bummer... Now how much will it cost to change it? What do I need?

This and some SS line for the fuel source should do it.
Edit: Or you can get an NOS fuel noid, fogger, SS line, and some jets. If you call NOS they should be able to hook you up as well.

thank you!

Toretto · 12-18-2002, 03:07 PM

Why do you want to change to wet? What kind of shot are you lokking to run?

Anton BB6 · 12-18-2002, 09:55 PM

50 shot... I'm thinking its a lot safer to run a wet than dry.... esspecially when i have no fuel upgrades (fuel rail/pressure regulator)...

If anyone thinks it would be safe to run a 50 shot dry on a near stock set-up... let me know...

Yes it is safe.

Toretto · 12-21-2002, 02:57 PM

Actually, its just as safe to run a 50 shot dry as it is for a 50 shot wet. Dry kits work, if they didnt, NOS wouldnt be recommending them for our cars. Wet or Dry, 75shots is the recomended shot on a stock car. Most people here are running dry kits, and the others are Direct Port, which is the best for shots larger than 75. Installed correctly, a dry kit will work just fine. I cant wait till you have your first run, I am running a 60 shot, and when I spray, it feels like I am in a super car. Just to give you an idea of how fast you could be with a dry kit, with a 75 shot, intake, exhaust, header, pulleys, ignition, performance clutch, drag radials, and have it dyno tuned, assuming your a good driver, you would keep up with Firebird TA's. Thats low 13's in the quarter mile. With cams, cam gears, and more tuning, on a miracle day, you might bust out a 12.999. Afterall, I have heard of people pulling off a best ET of 13.4 on a stock Lude with a 75 shot.
