Long story short, my friend from college traded his body kit for a nitrous system for his Merc Cougar. Something with the fuel system in his car doesn't allow nitrous to run properly. It is a ZEX dry 50 shot with a remote bottle opener. When thinking about nitrous and whether or not I'm up to spraying, I know I want to have a Wet kit, with a bottle heater, remote bottle opener and a window rpm/WOT switch to control the spray. He is looking to sell this kit, which has been in two cars (at least) for $350. IMO, that is kind of expensive for both what I intended to run (converting to a wet) and for how much use this system has potentially has seen.
SO, should I purchase this kit? Talk him down in price possibly?
What would I need to convert to a wet kit, and can a nitrous noob do this successfully? Bottom line: I want this to be safe, and for right now I wouldn't run more than a 50 shot. Can I just call up someone like ZEX and order individual parts to convert the system? Would this be unbelievably expensive rather than just buying a full kit, one that includes all of my plans?
Thanks.

a conversion is very simple i did mine a few yrs back. all you need is a fuel solenoid a dual fogger nozzle and 2 fuel lines and a brass t fitting. you must also take apart the nitrous solenoid and use only one they come with two which creates the vacuum which you wont need anymore. i believe the parts werent that expensive if i can remember correctly.

 

And can you just call up a nitrous kit supplier and order these parts? Do you think it is worth the money for the dry knowing I don't want to spray anything but wet?

 

the thing is i owned a dry kit already so it didnt pay for me to buy a complete wet kit. you might be able to find a brand new wet kit fairly cheap nowadays. the conversion will run you at least 200 dollars plus what ever you buy the dry kit for. you can go into any performance shop and order these, nothing special or you can call 714 546 0592 which is holley nos and tell them you want the part numbers to convert to wet, then order them from a speed shop.

 

I really like the Nopi NX wet kit for only $440. Just added bottle heater. This is a must!!!

 

Yea, I would feel bad about stiffing my friend and acting cheap, but for what this kit has, and for what I want to turn it into, I don't see this as being a smart buy. Thanks for the help, and if I run nitrous, i will probably just buy that nopi kit.
