Default Should I convert from dry to wet???

I have a HSW single nozzle dry kit and am considering switching to a wet kit because of tuning issues and the cost of getting new injectors. I have been to two dynos and cannot get a decent AFR throughout the upper RPM ranges. N/A is running a little lean (around 13.5:1) and a pull with a 75 shot is running off the charts lean at WOT(over 16:1). I was using a window switch set from 3-6k. Also I let off the gas on the nitrous pull around 3,500 because of the lean condition.

I am just about ready to convert to wet because of the issues I'm having. I really don't want to spend $500 for a dyno tune especially if they may tell me my injectors are too small. Would buying a wet kit be a better way to go? Is so why? Would I still need a dyno tune or should a mail order tune be ok for a wet kit? Below is some of the data from my dyno pulls. THANKS.

One last thing. The dyno AF sensor maxes out at 16:1. So it may be even higher. Thanks again.

OK. You are going to blow your **** up! Looks like you are spraying at like 2k RPM! Big no no. You don't want to hit it till at least 3k. Second, you should never be leaner than 12.5:1 (realy should be closer to 12.0:1 or lower) on any juice or 13:1 NA. You are WAY TOO lean on the juice. Where are your nozzles? Looks like after the MAF. Should be before so the MAF can read the juice. Also, it looks like you were running more like a 200hp shot, not a 75. You are so lucky your **** is not in pieces. Check your jets again.

With a dry kit, you realy should consider injectors. I guess if you stay at or below 100 hits you will be OK providing your MAF is reading the nitrous and your 02s are at or below 12:1. You better pull your plugs and check them too before you go anywhere with that car. May have melted them.

Your window switch and jets are not right. You also should check your wiring. You are spraying WOT no matter what RPM according to your dyno sheet.

Here is a pic of my nozzle location. It is a 70 degree nozzle. Thanks.

I would resolve your NA issues first.

Can you put the stock tune back in? What did the Mail order tune do (call/email or ask him directly)?

I had injector issues, here is what they would look like on a dyno



This is with a 75 shot (Keep in mind, I have 26# injectors and you have 28 #)

I did double check the jet size. It is a 75 shot. Also from what I see in the dyno #s the AFR didn't jump up until like 2800 RPM. That is where it shot up so I am guessing that is when the nitrous kicked in. I am still not exactly sure why the nitrous run shows the crazy TQ #s though

Beer, look at the dyno sheet in first post. He has a lot more problems then fuel system. Looks like a 200 shot off 2000rpms.

It also shows crazy HP #s too. Compare your NA pull to your N2O pull RPM to RPM. You will see a HUGE diff in both HP and torque. Your kit is hitting off WOT alone and is not set for a 75 shot.

According to my tuner he did a "nitrous tune" where he added a lot more fuel than stock. I am not sure which tables he changed exactly, but I do know he used EFILive. Thanks.

Can you get the file from him so I can look at it and compare it to stock?

Not for copying purposes but for troubleshooting.

Yea those are some crazy #s. Not sure what is going on with that. I just emailed the dyno guy to ask him what he thought. Maybe he has had similar issues with TQ and HP #s. Thanks.

Well the dyno tech replied with the following "At the beginning of the pull, the car lifted and the tires spun for a short time, that's why the number don't make sense".

Get a tuner that know's what they are doing. looking at your dyno, n/a is way off, and on the spray I am surprised you still have a motor. No window SW? Don't blame the kit or style of kit, you are not set up correctly somewhere/somehow.

I am looking into getting a dyno tune in the next week or so. Do you think this will fix the leaness issue or should I go ahead and buy some bigger injectors first? I was hoping the 28.8s were big enough for a 75-100 dry shot. Thanks.

Your injectors are plenty big for a 100-150 hp shot. Your tune however, well it straight up sucks *****. Post your tune so we can see it. I bet your tune is commanding those afr's n/a. As for your nozzle, try mounting it somehwere else or change the direction it sprays. I have my dry shot hidden. My nozzle is installed in the bottle of the lid. I had to mess with the spray direction to get it right, but pointed toward, the IAT sensor, but not directly @ has yeilded the best results for me.

if the a/f ratio is off n/a then it will be off when spraying n20

so get the a/f n/a where its susposta be then spray the n20
