dry is pure nitrous sprayed into intake i think
wet is usually mixed with fuel and plumbed into intake manifold
direct port is wet i believe and involves similar things to wet but diff setup i am unsure

Dry kits will spray nitrous into the intake stream before the throttle body with no feul. dry kits usually however come with a nitrous regulator that shoots around 20+ psi of nitrous to your fuel pressure regulator causing an increase in feul pressure to make up for the added o2 in the nitrous. This is good for NA cars using less than 100 hp increase with nitrous
Wet kits are like dry kits however instead of increasing the fuel pressure they spray fuel into the intake with the nitrous.
Direct Port is when the nitrous is sprayed into your intake manafold runners each runner has a small nitrous nozzel that is tapped into the manafold right before the head causing all the cylinders to have an equal nitous charge.

Direct ports are wet kits. Mr.2 pretty much explained it right Dry doesnt mix nitrous its just bumps up you fuel pressure to work.
The wet kits actaully use a separate line for fuel and mixes n2o and fuel before it is introduced to your engine.

Well some of the above is correct. Here is the rest.
A dry kit sprays into the intake system. I do not know where you guys are getting the fuel pressure bump from unless there is some off brand kit that does this. It is usually up to the installer to add on a fuel pressure regulator to raise the pressure. Pressure only needs to be raised a few pounds. A dry kit can be used up to a 100 shot.
A wet kit is usually done via a spray bar that injects extra fuel and NOS at the same time. There is no mixing in adavnce because one is in gas form and the other (fuel) is of course in liquid form. You still have to increase the fuel pressure to offset the added demand from the NOS fuel solenoid unless you run a separate fuel pump for the NOS syatem. The wet kits are also installed around the intake. These kits can have multi-stages and can go up to a 300+ h.p. !
A direct port system is plumbed directly into each intake runner
with a fuel nozzle and NOS nozzle. These kits are the most effecient but expensive. You also need to know what you are doing with these kits because you can melt engine parts down quickly with a direct port system. These kits too can have multi-stages and can go up to 600+ h.p. ! YIKES !
And there you have it your nitorous 101 class is now complete. Hope that helps.

And what you said about the direct port is completely wrong. The direct port is really the most effective kit of all also the safest. With it being a nozzle for every runner there is no question as far as even distribution a common problem associated with dry and single fogger wet kits. And also what I said about the single fogger it is mixed in the nozzle before it is sprayed into your engine.

Actually all that we said was correct the wet kit you are talking about is a plate kit only works for the V8 guys.(unless you have a GSR). We were talking about a wet single fogger kit. And as far as the dry kit every dry kit I know bumps up fuel pressure for you. Maybe you are the one with the off brand kits.

Ummm so like I said these were the most effecient so where am I completely wrong ? Sounds like you repeated me eh ? Maybe you are referring to me saying You also need to know what you are doing with these kits because you can melt engine parts down quickly with a direct port system. They are not the safest if you are off on the tune up ! You can melt down parts very quickly with a direct port system because they ARE so effecient. And I am not talking about some 150-200 direct port import kit I am talking about 250-500 multi-stage kits. Look outside the box will ya.
An as far as me having a off brand kit dont think so. NOS has been making systems longer than most of the import brands put together. That is if your import kit was not made by NOS to start with and renamed by the distributor. Every kit I have helped install or that I had was by NOS and not one of the applications had a bump for the fuel pressure. That does not mean it doesnt exist but I have never used one that way.
You said The wet kits actaully use a separate line for fuel and mixes n2o and fuel before it is introduced to your engine. This sounded like you were saying they were mixed together at some point before the nozzle. You did not mention the nozzles in your previous post. So you are correct on this one.
I could sit here and pick apart all of the previous posts one at a time that you say are correct but no thanks. Plus I am not here to piss people off or belittle them. I just wanted to straighten some things out that were not correct. Some of the previous posts have some correct info..
