Question Nitrous wet to direct port questions.

I am in the market for a nitrous system and have found some very good priced wet kits for sale. Every direct port kit I have found has been atleast $200 more. So here is my question.
1) If I get eh wet kit and convert it to direct port do I just need the following:

Distribution block(s)
Foggers
Jets
Fuel/Nitrous lines

Is this all I would need to convert to direct port?

2) Should I run the standard hard lines, or go for some stainless steel braided lines? If so are there and premade SS line kits for this, I haven't found any.

2) I have heard that you want your nitrous lines longer than your fuel line because the nitrous is at a higher pressure and the nitrous will get there first. What length should I run the nitrous line to avoid this, or are there any other ways to avoid this?

Thanks, Doug

Re: Nitrous wet to direct port questions.

spend the extra $200, it'll be easier and more reliable. if you dont know it all in detail then best not to try make it do stuff it's not meant to. get the full kit with all the parts and you'll probably be more pleased with the outcome.

Re: Nitrous wet to direct port questions.

it's a wet kit so you probably need to add more fuel injectors.

I thought that a wet kit ment that it already added the extra fuel required??? The dry nitros kit is the one you would have to modify your fuel injection for. Correct me if I am wrong here

Re: Nitrous wet to direct port questions.

a wet kit mixes in with the fuel so they both have to both come out of the injectors and a dry kit is connected to the intake pipe to mix into the oxygen.

Re: Nitrous wet to direct port questions.

the fuel and the nitrous use different hoses both running from different locations and they both have to spray at the same time so you add extra injectors specially for the nitrous so that they both mix in the cylinders
