I have a stock 04 GT. I want to put nitrous in it. Would a 100 or less shot of nitrous ruin my engine? Also, can I install a purge kit on a wet kit?

Not if you do it right. Been running a 100 shot for 2+ years.

And yes, purges work on wet kits. You only "purge" the nitrous, not fuel.

Depends, if you also have the supporting mods then nitrous can be safley set up.

If not, its a big risk.

My buddy has his purge line running into his grille, right to the left of the pony if your facing the front end of the car... its sick.

Nitrous is illegal in all 50 states and also is cheating.

But if you must do it...

Whatever hoss.

For a wet kit at 100 hp or less you most likely will not need any major supporting mods.You will need one-step colder plugs at the very least. If yours is a standard I would highly suggest a window switch. This will shut off the spray at a high rpm in case you miss a shift. The nozzle should supply ample fuel even without a fuel pump upgrade. I would go with the NX kit and start off with the 100shot nozzle. Each kit comes with different nozzles for 75, 100, 125, and NX comes with a 150 although I personally wouldnt go that high. Ive seen too many popped intakes with that kind of shot. IMHO I dont think you need a direct port system with such a low shot. Anything below 125 and you most likely will not puddle. After you get the kit installed you need to get it dynoed just to be safe. The reason for this is you want to ensure that you are indeed getting enough fuel. I have never seen a wet kit under 125 go lean on a healthy car but better safe than sorry.

Read the manual carefully. Especially the part about not attempting to start the car after a stall during which the nitrous is engaged. In this scenario you are likely to have fuel and nitrous in the intake and when you turn it over ...... BOOM!!!

Also do a search on this forum with the keyword "nitrous". You really need to educate yourself before you go with nitrous. However if you know what your doing and you dont screw up it can be as safe as any other power adder. Oh and in my eyes it is the most fun. Nothing beats the kick in butt instant TRQ that nitrous gives you.

I hope I remembered everything. Im sure someone will step in for me if I didnt.
