Can there be side affects such as the corrosive gas wearing away at the composite material?

Thanks.

Why are you asking this. I thought that Nitrous Oxide that we can buy was comprised of 1 part Nitrogen 2 parts Oxygen and a little sulfur thrown in there so we dont sniff it

WET = N20+fuel at the nossle, ie before the throttle-body.

Dry = N20 only.

IMO .... i would say no bc the engineers would have thought of that (meaning possible wear on the manifold after years of use not necessarily N2O) and sealed the composite. The intake manifold does get a little oil back fired into the manifold and runners, there for creating a "lining". If the oil is expected to remain there proves that the maifold was preped so that the composite does not wear.

Yeah, I can see that they would have expected moisture/water and oily crankcase vapors, but fuel is corrosive.

I want to go with a wet kit for ease, power, and safety, but I'm concerned of the long-term damage/problems like a sticking VIAS valve, disolving composite particles being injested, etc. that gas could cause, so I'm considering dry.

hmm i hear ya about the feul but i guess no one has been spraying long enough to really give u a answer, maybe jime can shed some light on this ??

try asking KILLERxxx.. i belive he is running a wet system on his 2k.... i think there was a discussion about H2O remaining(puddling) in the manifold while using the aquamist kit, if the water puddles then the feul will puddle also.

i cant imagine alot of fuel would get trapped or even enough to cause a problem. what can i say be a test dummy *just kidding*

or skip all the intake injected set ups and make a direct port setup to bypass all the valves and runners

I did ask NX about this and apparently there are other vehicles with composite intakes and have had no problem.
Other than that I have heard nothing.

hey jime by any chance did u ask if it is ok to do a DPI set up on a compostie manifold?

Is the material on the composite manifold even thick enough to tap for nozzles? How many threads on the nozzles would catch 2 or 3 at the most. If the manifold is to thin in the area you want to install the nozzles, you could probably use helicoils and some 2 part adhesive (JB weld or something similar) to hold the helicoils in place then thread the nozzles into the helicoils. this would deffinitly make the nozzles more sturdy and limit the posibility of the manifold ending up cracked or some other form of damage if by accident any kind of lateral force is applied to the nozzles.

If you want DPI, just go with NXL. The nozzles are designed to be put in the same position as the fuel injectors. No drilling necessary, only removal of the upper intake manifold.

TK

EDIT Not necessarily the NXL kit, but the DP nozzles that it comes with, a little mixing and matching of parts.

Ive never heard of anything nor seen any problems. Some of the CF intsakes we've seen are woven comp layered with fiberglass.

...Bypass the valves?! wtf?
