Im thinking about geting a nos kit for my 00 accord ex (2.3L-vtec) and I want to know which is the safest kit to put on a stock engine?? wet or dry?

 

I would have to say whatever u prefer, the only thing is wet might be more costly, but it depends on how much of a shot u want. the more the shot the more harm or chance of engine damage. wet or dry its all about how much of a pill u want in it, which can be adjusted 2.3vtec should be able to flow really good. so it depends on mileage. I would go for a 50-150 shot, and put a 75 shot pill in it.

 

I really want to put in a 40-50 shot 50 max, I have 67,000 miles on it

 

I think you would be ok there. Just the tuning/timing

 

you'll be fine with a 50...i like the Zex kit myself, for a wet system, it uses bottle pressure to adjust how much fuel it dumps...sorta eleviates the situation of over-pressurizing the bottle and not dumping enough fuel, or under pressurizing the bottle, and being pig rich. also good rule of thumb is 2* retard per 100 "shot"

the thing that usually breaks a sprayed motor besides detonation is the initial torque spike you get...the lower in the RPMs you spray, the greater this spike, and the greater the strain on the engine...so dont spray too low.

dry shot is cheaper, and probably more easily set up, but if you dont have a MAF i wouldnt recommend using one

 

+1 on the Zex wet kit

 

good question ive got a 1.8 tegra and im gonna go dry shot 50-75 ill start low and keep an ear on the engine im guessing the pills are th cheapest of a kit so im gonna step it as i feeel safe im concerned about damage also good luk

 

Um, I believe Zex is a dry kit

I haven't personally used a Zex kit, but from what I've seen, they seem to be pretty user friendly for a first timer.

 

I know that zex kits are both dry and wet. The only problem is that some of my friends say the wet is the best and some say that a dry kit is the best and now I am confused. Im probably going to end up calling their toll free question number

 

its just preference...direct port would be the safest since you could individually tune each cyl.
