Why would this not work? Advantage of wet shot on other cars, you dont have to tune it unless you want to fine tune it, just pull a lil timing as you up the shot. Advantage of dry shot on Kpro, tunable, computer controls it. Why could you not run wet shot, wire it in like a dry shot? My thinking is this, you dont have to have a separate tune for each shot. Say I get to the track, I dont want to spray the house down, so I run 75 shot. In finals the guys steps it up to where I really need a 125 shot, so I just swap jets out and pull some timing in Kpro, and go with it. If I had dry shot, I would need a separate tune for that. I know it is best to tune with nitrous, but running wet shot is safe enough to just pull a lil timing and add maybe a lil fuel, plus you dont have to go get bigger injectors either. I am bout determined to do this cause nobody has given any reason not to due to safety, they just say not recommended, why is it not recommended? Also, if an injector fails, the wet shot adds a tiny amount of extra protection before the computer can shut it down.
Kpro and wet shot

nothing wrong with that. you can wire the wet nitrous system just like a dry one and let k-pro enable it & disable it according to the preset parameters on the nitrous settings.
wet is safer, dry can just be more fine tuned to get the max out of it, as far as the targeted air fuel ratio.
with a wet is harder to achieve a better nitrous/fuel burn across the power band but not impossible. there are ways to get around that with k-pro. it just could take more tuning time.

what you described doing is going to be MORE time consuming than having 2 seperate tunes in the first place.
Going into the timing tables and fixing those to increase the nitrous shot, then saving the tune, uploading, then going back in and trying to remember what your other settings were to beign with is more difficult than just figuring it out once and always having that tune one click away from being uploaded.
No reason you can't do this with a wet setup, as it would keep you from running bigger injectors. Wont be AS perfect i imagine, but it should work just fine. Just set yourself up 2 tunes anyways:up:

it's better having 2 diferent setups. the timing for a 50 shot is not the same for a 100 shot.
just wondering: is this a direct port system or a single fogger?
because if it is a single fogger why not use 2 wet foggers one for the small shot and use the nitrous one on k pro for the settings for the small shot & the second nitrous option for the bigger shot. all using a single nitrous bottle, all is needed is a T before the nitrous & fuel solenoids.
wire the enable switch using a 3 way switch that way only one system can be on at any given time.
this can be done with a direct port too but is going to be expensive.

I plan on eventually spraying 250shot total from it. First stage will be a fogger in intake, and then following stages will be DP injected.
Under the parameters for nitorus, each stage you can tune for rpm, mph, fuel advance/retard, and ignition advance/retard. There is no need to change your NA tune at all. And if say I go from 100shot on one stage, and find a need to bump to 150shot, I could across the board retard timing 2-3* and be aight surely, have a decent enough tune, but at least a safe tune to run. With dry I couldnt do that, I need to know how much fuel to safely add, ignition is pretty much universal to a degree, but adding fuel isnt, needs a tune in advance. And haha if I have that tune, I will be using it, so no fall back. Am I jsut over thinking this? Sorry if I am.
And thanks for everyones input, I really appreciate it.

The motor is being built for it, Wiseco and Eagle said it would hold, plus the extra stuff we did to take car for it...And my tuner is not familiar with Kpro, I am his guiney pig, he is learning on mine, though he recently has tuned a couple boosted ones, but both were on e-management, not Kpro. I will be doing most of the tuning, with him by my side. He doesnt trust dry shot ran by computer at all, he wants me to run a TPS and WOT switch and wet shot only, not wiring into Kpro. Thats why I am going on these sites to find answers, my deal is I dont want to offend him, he is great, very knowledgable, just nobody around here has money to build the K and do something to this extent around here so its new to him. I jsut want to make him happy, and feel very safe myself.
