Kindof an interesting Idea, but what if you ran a dry system through a little scooter carb for a craptastic wet system? Im fairly sure it would have to be done after the system was depressurized, so it would be a strange setup...but If it would work, it could be a pretty sweet little 20 dolla wet system, ehh? Might have been done B4...couldnt find it if it has though. Any input?? Might be something to eff with once I get the alti off the stands...(damn diy turbo complications...) Any input?

Good idea but, I wouldn't chance my motor on it. buy a 500 dollar beater and see what thappens on it.

Great idea, they call it fogger. But what happens is the jets are more properly metered. Basically with standard size carb jet, including one for a mower, you will have too much juice. Now what I want to know is if it is possible to juice the intake size of my intercooler. That could be fun.

Ahh, yea I will go ahead and tell ya, Im no expert on the N2O front...just thorught it would be a sweet lil incomplex system. I honestly thought that the foggers were just atomizers for the fuel. I didnt realize they had carb-like jets to meter the intake of gas.

Yes, in fact in a fogger system there is no fuel control directly. They just increase fuel flow by normal metering, then when the NOS comes down, the pressure regulator sends the rest back to tank. But if you look into it, the size of the jets in a NOS system are tiny (if I could do it in a smaller font, I would), like .050" or smaller. It is however possible to make your own inexpensive kit from a CO2 bottle and a line lock solenoid. I would imagine about 100 bones if you have the bottle lying around. The jets would be the most expensive. You could probably get them machined, but NOS already has them, and they are bound to be cheaper. Just my $.02.

Sorry, wrong terms. I meant dry system. A fogger will have fuel. Dry systems are further up on the intake tract. Foggers use special jets that do atomize fuel with the juice, sorry to confuse you. Neither of us wins if I get you the wrong info. But now it is set straight.

uhh isnt fogger a TYPE of jet? the other type is direct port which directly goes into each runner of the intake manifold. both dry and wet kit CAN have foggers.

I think I might not be expressing what I want to when I say jet. When I say jet, I mean jet's like those located in carbs which use the passage of a fluid over an orfice and the venturi effect in order to mix fluid 1 with fluid 2. (Hell, I might be confused on the interworkings of a carb too...its a bit out of my realm of experiance.) Is this a fogger's function? I guess what Im asking is, do the foggers meter the N2O/gas ratio, or does some external electrical or mechanical gadget do it?

A fogger is a type of a jet, but has interchangable jet orifices inside of it. It can be used either way and is often placed in the runner. Many foggers such as the Nitrous Express Shark Nozzle have fuel in them. I carb will not work because the metering is not precise enough. A fogger will work like a fuel injector to meter nitrous, and maybe fuel. But a carburater will allow too much NOS to go through. The result will not be a glorious power increase or even a glorious explosion, but a pop and then a long walk home.
