The 2mm:

Everyone is all for the 3mm, well many engine builders
say that 3mm seals have more surface so they seal
better (which is true) but infact the 3mm aren't as
strong. So i stuck with the 2mm and just got the
heavy duty seals instead of stock. I should of gone
with the bridge port instead of the street port though.

PM the Judge for nitrous info ... do a search on nitrous or look for judge ito.

For info, the ZEX kit comes with a cabbin mounted toggle to turn the system on/off; when on it is triggered by the TPS voltage at full throttle. Fuel is added by the control module which applies a portion of the nitrous pressure to your fuel regulator. This raises fuel pressure out the roof to deliver more fuel as needed for the nitrous. Tuning is achieved by using jets, which you use is up to you and your pocketbook.

RX-Racer

Ok, I'll look for Judge.

Thankz

he said he was 17 years old. that's an awful lot of money to have invested in car without parents help. I'm curious how he did it without help b/c i'm 19 and have about $2,000 invested in the fd that i bought myself and it isn't easy with insurance and payments. I want to know what he's doing to get the money b/c obviously i'm doing something wrong.

RX-Racer

The only help i have recieved is co signed on one loan. Other than that i work 3 Jobs.

Welps...

I purchased my nitrous system from Mr. Nitrous himself, before his passing, R.I.P.

I have a Gen X2 Nitrous Express 35-50-75 wet setup that I ran on my Celica. If tuned with the correct A/F ratio, it can REALLY put some thump into a car. My Celica could've probably been touching low low 13's easy with the just the 50 shot. I ran 14.5 N/A with nothing but a CAI, springs, and a short shifter at Sacramento Raceway...and after getting the new lightened flywheel, clutch, and headers along with the dyno tune my N/A runs should have been quite a bit faster.

I've still got the entire system..I have the following:

Automatic Bottle Heater
Automatic Bottle Opener
MSD Electronic Window Switch
WOT Switch
10lb. Bottle
35-50-75 nozzles...
NHRA Blowdown tube
Purge Kit

When tuned properly (my system was dyno-tuned with an S-AFC for proper fuel enrichment during engagement), and with the proper safety devices, nitrous is just like any other forced induction. It is very reliable, and there when you need it, and NOT there when you don't.

I've handed many an *** to an unexpecting V8 on the freeway. Well..at least a few for the small amount of time I had it installed. I sold my Celica a wee bit after I had it installed...just got tired of FWD and the slow aftermarket for my Celi.

People that say Nitrous is dangerous, just haven't used it. Everything can be bad for your car if used the wrong way, too much boost will kill your engine just as quickly as too much nitrous.

The only thing your trying to do with nitrous is force more oxygen into your engine, with an added benefit of extra cooling which in turn equals even more power.

Crashunit

First off this is a Toyota were talking about and not a rotary... and your not only forcing more air in, but nitrous as well. There is a reason why rotory owners soldemly use nitrous in thier cars. I do agree with you that if tuned and used properly it can benifit, however, you cant compare an N/A toyota 4 banger to a twin turbo charged rotary.

ArchangelX

Oh...well..ya, duh. I was speaking in general terms.

No way in hell I'd slap a nitrous kit on a rotary. I'd rather do it the old fashioned way, first, and save the nitrous for squeezing every last drop of performance out, when I've hit the wall.

I just was trying to get across in general terms, that you've gotta have the proper tuning to use nitrous correctly...just mucking around with it, if you're not being careful and monitoring your A/F ratio...KABOOM.

Plus..you're already placing quite a bit of stress on the engine with the TT, so you've got to take that into account.

I always make sure to do quite a bit of research before I make any upgrades on my vehicles.

You must agree, that if used correctly in a properly prepped engine nitrous is a powerful tool for high horsepower gains, even in turbo'd vehicles....Take a look at the WRX's...the fastest WRX in N.A. runs off a turbo with nitrous combination.

Of course any dumbazz can strap one on, play F&F, and then go kaboom.

But if you're using nitrous for that final bit of power, you already are pushing the limits, and should expect to be able to pay, if you want to play.

RX-Racer

ArchangelX - Research is exactly what im doing, and just so you know i have a single turbo (Greddy T-88).

I basically want some launch power.

wptrx7

umm, pics of your setup? are they still coming? and your name wouldn't happen to be carl would it, if so don't call the judge. hahaha

Don't bother with nitrous unless you've maxed out your turbo. If you're worried about launching then try a 2 step.
