Default SD and Dry nitrous

I haven't seen a good thread about this. Will a SD vehicle autocorrect for the addition of a dry nitrous shot? as in will the MAP pick it up.

As far as I know, Sd and dry are not compatable. However, I am not a pro tuner, and maybe someone has figured it out, like the fuel adder vs IAT?

no the map will pick up vacumm/pressure. it would not correct to add fuel. it might if you could figure out how the turbo guys do it but it's too complicated when you could just go ahead and tune for the n2o on the dyno and wideband it that way. but then again I'm no expert.

Using the stock PCM? It would be tricky. If you were to use a stand-alone engine management system it would be easy.

i was thinking have the 12v to the solenoid connected to the EIO on HPTuners and then HPTuners can adjust once it sees 12v across the Input circuit. Then again i dont own HPtuners or a nitrous system. lol.

seems to me a wet kit would be much safer in this instance. doesn't the LT1 NOS kit increase fuel pressure to do its shot?

I have been researching this. Here is what I am looking at:

Dry nitrous runs increase the g/cyl airflow requirement beyond 95% of the users on here can achieve NA (typically .76g @ WOT), with a small 100+ shot I see around 1.05g. So, I am thinking to make the fueling and spark after .76 for nitrous, since once the juice flows the car will exceed the .76 barrier very quickly there wont be but a fraction of a second delay between pre.76 and post. Of oucrse I havent tested this yet, but since I have a spare engine here, I might. Once I swap Operating Systems (OS) to a 2002, then I can also add in the afr and spark vs. IAT, for now the 2000 OS doesnt allow that. If I can get the IAT to respond, get it into the airflow far enough, then there shouldnt be a problem.

On the other hand, I may install an IAT Sensor kill switch, once flipped the PCM will only see -38* constant, so I could use the '02 OS to tune that way also, piggybacking the IAT Kill into the solenoid power wire, in an interrupter fashion.

How does that sound?

Its not like I am waiting for someone else to crack this peanut, but I have lots of little **** to take care of first.... now that my Harlan Shift light is in, yes I am an Auto, but a RMVB TH350 non-auto, I may be picking up my research again. I'll have to post up some pics of everything soon.

I think this would be a feature that EIO can control. It would make a good selling point over a whole new standalone system. HPtuners would just have to write the OS for it.

im weird though i dont like wet systems. Dry is cheaper, easier to hide, smoother, doesnt just dump fuel like a carb, easier to put together, safer because its not flammable in your intake, and just seems to fit efi alot better. Iono thats all the reasons i got. stepping off the podium now.

Spenser, your point on safer has been beat to death, I personally understand your stance, yet, either system has its pro & con. I like the extra torque of wet, but the ease of dry (fewer jets too ). Oh well, I'll get cracking on this next week hopefully.

Wet equals slightly more torque, ah ha, there is another side to this story. lets say you jet your dry for equal torque compared to a wet, who has greater Hp, the dry.
Also, with this new AIT vs fuel adder, the torque difference may be a thing of the past. tnt gets more torque by basically running richer, ah ha, we have a way of doing this with out effecting n/a tune, I believe. more to come on this in near future. Am working with someone on a custom dry kit and later custom tune to go with. You'll hear about it soon.

Robert, already mentioned and covered that part, but it was kind of incognito, until you just spelled it out I have messed with and had positive results with the IAT vs AFR and Timing. But, I need to convert to a Z06 style maf, I happen to have a PACE one, but its definately not even remotely calibrated for my car. The Z06 MAF has built in IAT, which is convenient for tuning that way. However, true SD I will remove the MAF and mount the IAT sensor in the neck to more accurately read the temp, if possible.

wet shots just seem like they need a carb to me. dry is for efi. tuning is needed and the maf needs to go away but it just fits so much better than a wet shot.

pros of wet
easy to get 100hp and above shots
cheaper for over 100hp shots
no new injectors
dont absolutely need a tune.
wont max out the maf.

pros of dry
easy for under 100hp shots
cheaper for under 100hp shots
better metering over 100hp shots
safer intake situation
simpler
produces a better curve
endless tuning possibilities. (window switch, WOT switch, sense a stuck noid, afr switch,fp switch)
best option for a full out application.

Iono this is the limited knowledge of an 18 yd who reads more than he buys.
