Im not saying a 150 shot isn't safe. Im just saying a 150 shot on top of forced induction probably won't be safe. Exspecially a dry shot. I think it was said above.....waiting for blown motor thread.

I think its cool your going different withe the turbo setup. But I think the combination together will be nothing but a problem.

ok sorry a 125 shot.....

Anyways.

Im not saying he does daily drive with it. Im just saying the combo of forced induction and nitrous (exspecially a dry shot) even just using it at the track, doesn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling like its going to be safe. Just trying to help you out. But I guess you could try. Just if anything blows...dont expect any sympathy when people hear you were running a dry shot. Buddy of mine has a Supercharged sunfire (chargedfire on the forums), completly built. He doesn't want to run anything over a 35 shot dry on his and with the numbers your car will be pushin on just the turbo his car will have less power with just the supercharger. Im just saying that For what you have it may be safer to run just a 50 wet shot. Why take the risk?

every thing i keep here contradicts itself. i just talked to a performance shop and they are telling me to stay away form the wet shot because it mixes with fuel and blows fuel/NO2 through my plastic intake mani. He said that if i hit the rev limiter there is a chance that one of the intake valves could be slightly open when the cylinder fires and back fire through the intake manifold and blow it apart.

like the guy with that white 2.2 that ran a 14 something on a 100 wet shot. it back fired through the maifold

Well yeah thats becasue he used it on a low RPM I beleive, if not a 100 shot its kinda pushing it on a stock 2.2. Also you should hit the rev limiter, thats why you use the window switch. It turns the spray off before then.

Dude, if you ain't noticed by now most of the folks you have been talking to are a bunch of haters and you ain't changing that fact. It don't matter what you say they will find a way to knock it.

it looks like it. since i tried to do the cam swap on my own and messed up the engine bad, i now always contact peformance shops for advice before i make desisions. the shop just happend to be installing an STS trubo on a 2.2 cavy today. He asked me if wanted to come out and see it since they are just about done to throw it on the dyno.

think im going to go take a trip out there and go see it on the dyno. ill come back and let yall know what i find out

Im not knocking on anything. I think its cool he is going to do a differnet turbo setup. I just don't want all the money and work that went into the motor to goto **** because of the nitrous. Just trying to help man. Hate to see a fellow member have to spend more money to get things fixed when it can be avoided.

there he is! I've been waiting for you man lol. I knew you would find me eventually. You and IonNinja are my sources of knowledge when it comes to the nitrous. I learned everything basically from you 2.

I know you have something to say about this....come on. Help him, I don't want him to ruin what he spent a lot of money on.

well i just got back from the performance shop, the guy showed me the STS set up on a 2.2 cavy. The STS cavy was bone stock except for the turbo. The 2.2 cavy was putting down 292whp on 10psi of boost.

there are other ways to tune then just HP tuners tard.

called piggy backs and stand alones. wow what a hater

oh and by the way, they dont use hptuners at the shop i use. they use SCT flash and they use SMT 6 and SMT 7 and greddy stand alones

you dont have to tune the computer to tune the engine. there are always work arounds for everything

lol I think he knows that...can you say Megasquirt!

the only thing I've seen come from a piggyback so far with a 2.2 Ion/Cobalt is missing piston rings.

and btw I don't think anyone is "hating" on you...they are just trying to take you down the proper path and not a path that you've been down once before.

I'm going to do things different.

Ok, I'll break it down to you

You said...

So then I pointed out...

I'm currently talking to the owner of the shop
he already drag races a cobalt 2.2 turbo
So basically, you're NOT unique and quit acting like it.

By the way, I had a 2.2 Turbo before you, so you're technically copying off of me too.

hint hint, im STS remote turbo chargning. diferent from engine bay mounted. nuff said

why does everyone bash before finding out what happens? are you all afraid that it just might be better then a normal turbo set up? or are you afraid to do something different?

i believe someone here said that i must have money to burn or something along that lines.

Well as a mater of fact, i soon will. re-enlistment bonus FTW I think 45k is enough to do the STS remote turbo and do a full stand alone fuel managment system with money to spare

lol

we don't care what you do. evidentally you do cause you keep replying back to the "haters".

****, I haven't even said anything about your "STS setup" in many pages...

Sorry but you're not that different.

I'd laugh though if someone took your turbo off from under your car...that'd be hilarious LOL
