Hey i've been looking for some Nos setups for a quick hp fix.. I've decided to get a Wet System.. do they make kits specifically for the KA or do I just get any 4 cyl kit?

Oh i'm thinking about starting off with either a 50 or 75 shot since i'd have the extra goodies..

This would be my setup with everything (including NOS)

2.25inch catback exhaustApex i N-1 MufflerHotshot HeaderNGK 8mm plug wiresNGK colder plugs.. i guess stage 7 Fidanza flywheelACT clutchMSD Ignition BoxMSD BlasterSS coilWalbro 255lph fuel pump

Feel free to add or take away from the parts list, I appreciate everyone's help. Thanks fellers.. drift on

With the drift on comment, I must add what do ya want the car for? Drifting or staight line raceing? Do you have an LSD and/or suspension? You might wanna think about these before you go with nitrous. But if you do go with nitrous a universal kit should do fine. Just read up before you do anything.

With a 75 shot you can run stock everything.

Other goodies will help a little, intake headers and exhaust will make the engine breath a little better, the ignition upgrade is a good idea, but colder plugs are not needed.Fuel pump is also a good idea, but not a must.

If you want a nitrous kit, I've got one with EVERYTHING you'll need, you wont even need to drill a hole into the intake piping, I'll send you mine!

Anyway, its a Zex dry kit, single fogger good for 50-75-100 shots. Small compact bottle, WOT activitation and shutoff. Gimme a heads up if you're interested.

Doesn't seem like many people are really into puttin the KA on the bottle...i've been toying with the idea for the past year and i finially picked up a used dry setup. I'm gonna run a 75 shot on my stock engine, but i'm gonna slowly upgrade with some of the addons like window switches. Eventually i'd like to pick up 4 nozzels, fuel selinoid, and lines to run a direct port setup. Bypass the stock fuel system all together and run a small fuel cell and i already got a 255lph inline pump...

I'd like to see how good i can do in the quarter without internals...

What type of plugs is it that you can't run with nitrous? Iridium or Platnum? I might just run copper anyway since nitrous seems to a ***** on plugs...

Run the 75 for a while, make sure everything feels tight and fine, then switch it to the 100 shot. Should be fine though as long as your motor is healthy.
