Rangeball Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Been lurking on the forum for a while, lots of good info. I have been pondering a 30 dry shot on my car. I have been told that a dry shot is dangerous on the S60R. Is it? I searched for any information but didn't find any. Also the MAF is made by Bosch, correct? Thanks.-Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMan5952 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 because you have the added fuel to keep your engine from exploding if you happen to run lean (bouncing off rev limiter is a good example of it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin390 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 the dry shot uses a vacuum to typically make the fuel pressure reg increase the fuel pressure and inject more fuel into the cumbustion chamber to balance out the nitrous. Does it work? yes it does but not the best way. The wet system injects extra fuel to compensate. It takes a little more effort to tune it but gives you a margine of safety so you dont toast your engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I really didn't want to run a wet system. I guess it might be back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin390 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 even on a NA I would go wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelostartof Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 and i'd go wth @ least a 75 shot .. or wel start with a 35 and get it setup right and then go 75most say anything less than 75 is a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember, especially on a turbo car, 50 shot jets will give you anywhere from 65-70 hp because of the cooling effect, and 75 will give about 80-90, hell maybe even a 100 hp, you have alot of nitrous to cool off that air!Dry shot is safer, but you need to have injectors large enough to add the extra fuel you need to compensate. So you have to figure how many more cc's you need and get that much bigger injectors. But on a turbo car a wet shot is a not issue, as far as puddling is concerned because that above atmospheric pressure in your intake manifold will clear any fuel puddles and make them Darn near impossible.

I wanted to go with dry shot for ease of hidding from the dealership plus I can get a dry shot kit for less then $600 with a bottle warmer and electronic shut off. I figured a 30 shot would give me about 40-50 horses. I am still doing research on the size of the injectors but I imagine that the stock injectors should be able to handle a 30 shot. I am not looking for craziness just a little added fun. So I hate to keep asking but is it ok to run a 30 dry shot on my P2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangeball Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 it is assuming you set it up safely. that's the overall questionI am not worried about the actual installation. My buddies who would help me (well I would pretty much watch) both have 100 shots on their GTO's and Mustang's. They have also done setups for other people I know, all of which have had zero issues. My worry is that the ECU is to smart on the P2's. I guess this is another concern. I will be installing the Aquamist here shortly. I can't imagine it having an effect with nitrous but is this a "no, no" that I should be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerman Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Um i have a question. If you are planning on an aquamist setup, have you considered using the nitrous kit to cool the intercooler? Oh and if you wanted to go cheap use CO2 instead of no2. Its just a thought. Granted maybe not as big of a boost overall, but maybe a bit less hassle in the long run. Its just a thought. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AC condensor is located in front of the intercooler. Moving it is almost as expensive as putting in a new FMIC. I will eventually put in a true FMIC with a nice core but I am not there yet.
