I'm really curious as to whether our engines can handle a 150 shot (wet kit) with a walbro fuel pump, heat range 7 spark plugs, and 114 octane. It feels perfect with the 125 shot, and I've never had a problem with it.

I bought the jets, but will continue to do some homework before thinking of installing it. I feel a fuel pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge would be appropriate if I chose to go through with installing the jets. They come in tomorrow from Zex btw. I do not feel obligated to install them, so I wouldn't think twice to throw them away if I'm convinced it can't be done safely with the current set up I mentioned.

Anyone from the 2nd gen forum have vital info they can give me with any past experiences with a 150 shot from other members?

75 is all I have experience with on my friends TLS.

The most I ever ran prior to my turbo setup was a 100shot and it was only twice. No problems there. I'm guessing with the right amount of fuel it might be possible but don't know for how long or how safe it would be.

There have been 2 engines that have failed because of boost. So it's very possible to kill it.

What were the scenarios? HBP with the actuator connected?

Anyone else feel I can get away with this high of a shot? Would really like more honest opinions from those that are knowledgable with these engines.

I wish I had some more knowledge so I could help with this. I'm very curious myself.

I dont know man let me know, im looking to be spraying in the fall what you are spaying now. lol

i think its not how much you spray....as to how you spray it and how tuned your car is for it.

good luck

Been on the 125 shot for about 3 years now.

That's why I was curious if what I was doing/using to prevent detonation was sufficient for the 150 shot as it has been for my 125 shot.

use 93-octane or above when adjusting to 12.0:1 compression. (obviously you're using 114 octane so no issue there). retard the timing -0 degrees and introduce a quick spray of 150 shot. keep IRMC connected. I don't know how everything is timed on your car right now so I can't say.

I've noticed in my searches that some boosted CLs had -0 degree retard timing with no problems but I do know that if you disconnect IRMC it will probably blow.

Just a side question... Where are you getting 114? Or is that a combination?

Your local hardware store will have it. It's called Toluene (paint stripper, but it has to be 100% pure Toluene). Stay away from paying $17 a gallon, that was my first mistake when I went to Ace Hardware. You can get it a lot cheaper else where, but the name isn't coming to mind.

Toluene huh. Very interesting read. Let me know how that goes, I'm very curious. Have any of you guys done it yet?
