NOS or NX?

NOS or NX?
I know it's been debated forever, but I'm in a very unique situation right now. I have both the NOS and NX kit with me so cost is not an issue (don't ask how I got two). Both are brand new, and I need to know which one to install. I understand the advantages of dry, but I've heard that sometimes the engine runs lean for a brief time before the extra fuel is injected. The wet NX kit would avoid this, but I've also been told that wet kits aren't good for Maximas because of the shape of the intake runners. I've been told that wet kits lead to fuel puddling and uneven fuel distribution. I've also heard that the NX kits have very good nozzles that avoid this problem.
I'm leaning toward the NOS kit. But I want to make sure. I'm going to start off small with a 50 shot, but I plan on going up to a 100 in the future. Thanks for your help.

actually, if you use the fuel pressure safety switch(provided you adjust it correctly) that NOS includes with the kit, then the second solenoid will not open to let nitrous flow UNTIL the fuel pressure is sufficiently increased. when you hit the full throttle switch, the first solenoid opens and the nitrous pressure bumps up the fuel pressure via the fuel pressure regulator and when the fuel pressure safety switch senses enough fuel pressure, then it will connect the second solenoid to ground, thus releasing the nitrous into your throttle body.

ya but you can't adjust it to high enough pressure with a 100shot. you know that thomas, you can get it close. but still 15 psi away.

your 100 shot must be different than mine.

Oh yeah, like Thomas said, go with the NOS dry kit, he already explained why... Good luck!

Moderator running more PSI than all the boosted Maximas... combined

Re: Re: NOS or NX?
Thomas, you brought up a good point about the ful pressure safety switch. For my direct port kit, I don't think I have my FPSS at the right place. It's after the OEM fuel fiter but before the fuel solenoid. I think the optimal placement for the FPSS would be after the fuel solenoid. This will prevent nitrous from flowing if the fuel solenoid decide not to open. Then again, I don't think there is any safeguard to prevent nitrous solenoid from stucking open. Except hearing the knocks and hit close on the remote bottle opener.

I personally have used NX nor many people on teh board. Most of us use teh NOS kits.
As long as you have everything setup properly, you willhav no problems at all. Make sure you have the FPSS set accordingly. Also make sure you nozzle is aimed the right way and about 6 inches away from the TB. This will prevent the possible cause of 1 of the intake runners getting more NOS. Also with a 50 shot, expect the least possible problems with that.
