hey

im geting my engine build it's going to be a 2276cc abut 185+hp

am looking at using a 50hp shot of nos in it would it handle it ok? or no good?

dry shot if that make any diff over wet

Tue May 27, 2014 8:51 am

oh and i don't mean ever day i mean maybe once or twice in it's whole life

I'm guessing your engine will only last one or two times with dry nitrous shots.
If you want it to last longer inject gasoline along with the nitrous. Research is your friend.

yea i would't just be injecting dry it would be set up so the pussure would make more fuel go in etc

it would be set up right :roll:
'
i'm more asking if it was done right would the engine be ok??????

Tue May 27, 2014 9:32 am

If you're only going to do it once, why stop at a 50hp dry shot?

Tue May 27, 2014 9:47 am

i just wanted something small so if i need it. ed day at the track for better time something to do i would't be walking home lol in case a bigger sht hur the engine that's kinda why im asking thought

I say go for it, if you promise to show pictures of the results later :twisted: .... Seriously, sounds like a plan to destroy an engine to the point where there is very little left to rebuild-

Since the engine is being built right now, have it built nitrous safe. There is no reason why a 50 shot would destroy a well built engine. I add a heck of a lot more than 50hp with boost and haven't had carnage worth taking photos of yet.

Build it right, it will survive a couple of hits no problem.

You're going to go through the effort and expense of hooking up a NO2 system just so you can use it once or twice ever? Uh huh. :?

I agree with chip, and add a retard box too. even better idea add 4 stages!!!

Tue May 27, 2014 4:09 pm

And stay away from Nitro methane :wink:

Chip's comparison is poor. He adds a proportionate amount of fuel with his boost, whereas a dry shot on a carbureted engine will at best pull enough fuel to compensate for an equal volume of air - with the extra oxygen and density of nitrous it will lean out and detonate.

FFS, it's hard to get advice from someone who can't even keep up with the thread... :roll:

Dry shot on carbs=BOOM faster than you can get out of the throttle.
Wet shot with the right pills and timing retard=plenty of good pulls

No reason it won't work, but I question you saying you're only gonna use it a couple times? You do realize that you need 4x foggers (assuming you have IDF style carbs), and a fuel/nitrous solenoid per side right? That along with the correctly bend tubing to hook it all up, and the cost might scare you for a 'once and done' system. If you're gonna do it, do it right. If you're gonna take shortcuts, stay far away and don't say we didn't warn you...

so... he isant going to just stick the nos hose into the air cleaner snorkel then turn the knob on the bottell??? :shock:

Is your engine being built with forged pistons?

Tue May 27, 2014 9:27 pm

hey sorry from australia so diffent time zones

yea aluminim block

forged pistons

chrome molly something

44 idf webbers

all the good stuff costing 6500 aus

and nos with be hook up right no back yard thought

Tue May 27, 2014 9:39 pm

A 50 shot without adding fuel will split cylinders at a minimum. Adding fuel pressure to the carbs aint gonna do it.

Tue May 27, 2014 9:40 pm

ok cool thanks for the info thought.

how would i go about do that is there any web sights on it or anything price cost etc?

I guess I was referring to the fact that he stated this...

Sounds like a guy, without the knowledge needed to BUILD the setup himself, but a guy that is willing to spend the buck to ensure that "it was done right."

Lets give the dude a break.

OP-A dry shot will not work on your basic carbed VW engine without catastrophic results. However, a dry shot can be made to work well on a Electronically Fuel Injected engine with the appropriate tune and setup. Lots of EFI guys go wet anyway just for the added fail safe of plenty of fuel being provided.

Bottom line, your engine combo sounds like it should be able to take the 50hp hit IF DONE CORRECTLY. Find out what the guys successfully running the stuff are doing.

yea i kinda under stand thought

people of been taking to thought and they use sneaky pete nos kits thought

http://www.prostreetonline.com/x/nos-sneaky-pete-kits.asp

so just thought id ask how are they doing it?

works in 2ltr escort etc :roll:

sorry for the question but kinda over my head as to it would work in every other car then a beetle? with carbs

even on motor bikes
