If you're using a dry shot on a returnless fuel system you have issues to begin with......Dry kits boost fuel pressure as fuel compensation. Our FPR is in the tank so you cant just jump the vacuum port on it and increase fuel pressure.
Besides a wet kit is a HELL of a lot safer..... |

I know on older (non DBW) auto cars with a physical 'kickdown' switch, you could splice in a toggle switch so that when you engaged it; it would hold each gear to redline regardless of throttle position as well as dropping back to the lowest usable gear for better acceleration. A close friend's father had it on a Porsche 928 and it made it drive much more like a manual in the way of engine braking by holding gears unlike a 'normal' shift pattern (as high a gear as possible as soon as possible).

I felt the wet was definately stronger then the dry but the wet is definately a safer route.

I will rephrase my previous statement,if the nitrous kit is tuned correctly(via a/f on a dyno or wideband) then dry is considered safer at low amounts of nitrous injection. It may not be safer however on this piticular car/engine. Reasons a wet kit is not as safe,puddling of fuel via a leaky selonoid,and the intake manifold was not designed to flow fuel,which can lead to fuel starvation of certain cylinders when the nitrous is engaged.

Have you ever seen a wet nozzle when its spraying? If it puddles, it would be amazing.....
Up to 35 shot?? isnt 35 the lowest?? I ran a 75 shot on my Matrix, wet kit and plastic IM. Ran fine. I didnt keep it on there long, went turbo quickly after but it ran just fine on the bottle. I would NEVER trust the toyota ECU to compensate fuel for me either, you obviously havent tuned one of these cars or any other newer Toyo's. They are a REAL PITA. |

They make smaller than 35hp jets,I've personaly used a 25 on a 1st gen GSX. I didn't say you won't be fine with a wet shot. A dry shot is infact safer at lower levels if you want to believe it or not. Less to go wrong. You are right I have never tuned these new toyotas,their fuel system and PITA ecu is quite normal of all new cars. If putting nitrous on a matrix makes an expert than I'm not expert,but I wonder if you have ever had a real performance car?

LOL!!! I build them regularly, you really have no clue.......
How about a 10second street car that I helped my dad build?? Or my garage full of Turbo'd rides???? 98 Subaru RS with a WRX swap, turbo'd Matrix, Turbo Accord(motor swap, T3/T4, all custom fabbed by myself). Even my more recent beater projects like a 95 Neon ACR. Mopar performance everything with a 75 shot. That car made 200whp with VERY lil invested..... What do you rock?? |

But I'm sure someone will come up with a "blah blah blah" story about some type of V8 car, cause only that can mean real performance. I had a formula 350 with plenty of upgrades for years and it paled in the performance and fun category compared to my 81 rx7 with a carb'd turbo setup or my b16 eg6 civic hatch or my gst eclipse. what people consider "performance" is gonna be relative and jaded depending on what types of cars they grew up around...

My dad's car is a Cuda that had a 440. Its now a Indy 500ci bored and stroked version of the 440, aluminum heads, custom fuel system by me, Gforce 6 speed, 9" rear, ladder bars, roll cage, 12" wide wheels in the rear with drag radials. Theres a LOT more but thats the basic idea...
The car ran a 11.8 with regular street tires. He was having clutch issues above 7500rpm at the track with the drag radials on the car. He also has a set of slicks, but just havent made it back to the track since. He likes to just cruise it around LOL! He WALKED a viper leaving it in 6th on the highway....its no joke!! This is a short short clip of it before he put the Boyd wheels and drag radials on the car http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/vids/takeoff.htm Edit: Heres a clip of my honda that I modified a DSM turbo setup to fit on, VERY budget build up. Now it has the motor swap and etc...Still wrapping it up though http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/holyshit.wmv Ask around, I have no need to BS about crap. I was just debating what you were saying, dont take it personal :) Might as well add my weak Matrix too ;) http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/vids/cornerblowby.htm The Matrix was done before ANYONE offered anything FI for it, everything was one off..... Bumper cam!! http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/vids/bumpercam.htm Since I mentioned it, the Pee-on too: http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/350zdown.3gp This race you can see we were dead heated, OFF the bottle. I hit the switch and bye-bye 350z :) Last edited by Turbo&Auto; 08-09-2007 at 12:35 AM. |

Any piggy back from HKS, Greddy, Blitz, Jetchips and Venom can have two or more different mode.

Thanks :)
Its going to be a LOT faster now. That setting in the video was about 200whp and 250wtq, 10psi. I didnt dyno at 15psi, my downpipe came loose on the dyno and it wouldnt boost past 10. I fixed it in the parking lot but they didnt have time to get me back on there. It was at a dyno meet ;) I went to another dyno when I got back home and they F'd my car all up. They set the roller weight to 3800lbs!!!! The car wouldnt rev past 5K, he said I just wasnt making any power. F'in retard!! Blew my clutch and smoked the rings in cyl #2. I drove the car home on 24psi and just beat the piss out of it. Leaked out 2qts of oil on my driveway when I pulled in LOL! When its going down I blow it up all to hell!!! |

Anyone ever try Rocket Boosters?? Perhaps Warp Drive?? Or even a Flux Capacitor?? I believe those would be the only options to make our cars REALLY fast . . .
