i have an 88crx si with an intake and cat back 2.5in exhaust for performance mods and just recently purchased a nos wet kit. but im kind of skeptical about what size of a shot i should use. the motor is in good shape with around 100k for miles. never boosted or anything like that. any feedback would be greatly appreciated

 

Do a compression test. If all looks good, put in some good NGK plugs and replace your fuel filter. (Not really needed but WTF...)

Then retard you're timing one degree and run the 50 shot.

That a lil overkill but you'll be safe!

 

thanx for the tip man. do you by any chance know what compresion test cost and what it sohlud be at when it gets done
and what do you mean a bit over kill. that the shot is possibly to big?

 

i would make sure the engine is fine and the compression is good then i would order a header( just to free it up a bit plus there cheap) then id spray a 50 shot and 75 at the track ( retard your timeing a bit more ) also since were on the subject anyont have any track times of a a6 stock motor on nitrous?? im taken this same route

 

I thnk he meant the precautionary steps are a little overkill. Personally, I would rather be cautious than throw a rod. You can go to your local pepboys and get a compression tester. They're about $20 and handy to have around. I'm putting out around 140 psi with my d16. You need a minimum of 128 psi in all cylinders, but it should be around 156 psi. Also, make sure that variation between cylinders is no more than 28 psi. If all that checks out, you have a healthy engine(combustion chamber, at least.) Take the above steps, and run your 50 shot.
Good luck,
Cory

 

well....lil advice retard your timing 2 degrees and get one step colder spark plugs when your spraying and you will be safe until you lean out but if you get a thing that they call a mushroom you will be fine on the fuel side....also make sure you dont have a chip that in any way will advance timing or you be in for trouble...wish you luck and for times it all depends I was hitting 14.5 on nitrous...but thats the cheap way of winning ;-)

 

^^^ what kind of shot were u runing? dry or wet?

 

wet!!! I will never run dry even though they say its safe up to 125 shot

 

was this on a 75 shot? also what motor/car im trying to find as much info as possible for my next setup

 

50 most the time then like people said track you do 75...member you dont want to bang more nitrous then you motor can handle, member your motor stock is like 106hp....I got addicted to it and always banged it and learn my lesson after a few motors....so I got plans on minime for now until I can afford my turbo

 

Just wondering, did you have any prob's with the 75 shot on the A6?

 

ive read that our injectors will be maxed out after a 65 shot

 

Not with a wet shot buddy!

 

nice since thats what i have

 

wet shot gets fuel direct from the fuel line so injector cap. isn't a factor.

 

i'm not completely sure, but i think the compression is supposed to be 175 psi in each chamber, i think that's what i saw on Alldata, and as for the times, i have a d16 a6 crx with exhaust and cold air intake that runs 10.6 in the 1/8th mile, (wish i had a quarter mile around here) it's slow, but it's a work in progress, what isn't

 

not sure about the nitrous but i had an a6 in my 94 hatch w/cheap cai cheap header and a chipped p28 ecu ran 10.2 all night

he wants 1/4mile times not 1/8mile times!

 

sorry think that would be around a 15.9 in the 1/4
