Forgot! Wet or Dry NO2 kit?
which one would I use on the 1.6 I'm only going with a 50 shot MAX! what all would I need to do besides colder plugs and high octane fuel?
Aveo that moves! Now I need those cams!

Wet is better. I think I read somewhere that you have to (or it's recommended) to decrease the gap on the spark plugs when you have nitrous installed.Brian5475E wrote:which one would I use on the 1.6 I'm only going with a 50 shot MAX! what all would I need to do besides colder plugs and high octane fuel?

I say allways go wet...... if you go wet.... then you don't need higher octane.
In a dry system with high octane your car runs stinking rich until the nitrous kicks in.... then it goes lean and makes lots of power (and heat).
This kills catalytic converters and causes all kinds of things to happen such as plug fowling.
If a dry system isn't setup on a dyno with a wideband air/fuel..... odds are you might end up killing your engine the first time out.
With a wet system.... it's very hard to kill your engine.... even if you set the jets wrong it usually doesn't end up in destruction of the engine. (unless your a complete dumbass )
As for what else you need to do..... you have to remove some of your ignition advance.
Without an aftermarket ignition system.... this could be hard to do as it would require you to have adjustable cam gears and or an adjustable cam timing plate.
Distributor engines are easier.... just turn the distributor a little and check it with a timing light and your ready to go.
