SqMK Reg'd: Dec 31, 1969 REPOLEVED	Do you have an images of how you installed nitrous? If not, could you post some images of your setup (more detailed than the ones in your profile) so other users can get an understanding of what goes where? - I steal forum signatures.

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	yeah i know tell me about it. the dry kit just goes right near the maf sensor lol. heres a little FAQ about the different switches u SHOULD use to make it safe. Fuel Pressure Safety Switch(FPSS) - Basicly senses the fuel pressure and if it goes to an unsafe level, it shuts down ur entire nitrous function to stop any damage that might occur Wide open throttle switch (WOTS) - pedal to the metal switch is the easy way to sum it up. kind of hard to do on the tC since it is a drive by wire throttle system, but there is 2 ways to do it, u can ghetto rig a switch under the pedal fulcrum or u can buy a fly-by-wire switch which goes in to the computer and senses the signals. Window Switch - basicly, ur nitrous will only engage within a certain RPM range to prevent you from using it to early or using it to late while hitting the redlines on ur car. They way i would have it would be, Arming switch -> WOT Switch -> Window Switch and have the FPSS switch too

tC_by_trd Reg'd: Mar 08, 2007 Vehicle Designer	alright well things to know:: on the tc (5 speed) never spray on 1st gear cause you will get some nasty wheel hop and you will also hit the revv limiter in no time at all. when racing make sure you have the rpm above 2500, and if you are doubtin you self on spray above 3000 jus to be more safe. try no to hold the button for longer than 12 second on each gear 2-5 gears. on fifth gear try no to hold the button for longer than 10 seconds cause the overdrive gear is not used to take such a beating. nitrous stuff: a window switch will help you not to spray under the rpm range that you set it up too. a fuel pressure safety switch (fpss) will turn the whole nitrous sytem off if your fuel pressure ever drops under the needed psi's. WOT switch will not work with our cars unless you get the throttle by wire one and i wouldnt reccomend it cause if you misshift and press the gas pedal all theway down you will spray and can cause major damage so i dont recomend wot switches. stick with the magic red button.

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	haha we both told about the switches. but u can also get a gear sensing switch but its hella expensive and that makes sure ur in gear b4 it sprays. but i dont think u can do serious damage if u miss shift and put the pdeal down because u would relize that u misshifted

Do you plan on doing either in the future and keeping your nitrous around? oh i would go turbo over nitrous anyday, but not everyone has the money to do it. and i say nitrous is alot of fun and has an advantage over turbo jus in the first 5 seconds or for aslong as the other one has turbo lag. cause nitrous is a suddent fast kick and will always stay the same as long as you have pressure. the downside of nitrous is when you run empty you are out of the competition and with turbo you will always have it. oh and im going turbo in a couple of months and i may keep the juice and boost depends on how it works out

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	u can also use nitrous to spin the turbo

dsm3383 Reg'd: Mar 14, 2007 Scion Guru	If your going turbo and considering keeping your nitrous what are your plans on internal work cause those two create ALOT of power and our stock internals will wilt and be very afraid of it.

tC_by_trd Reg'd: Mar 08, 2007 Vehicle Designer	oh and since the tc has an aluminum block and head watch your temperatures when ever you spray cause aluminum is weaker than cast iron

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	yup. if used correctly, it can get reduce/get rid of the turbo lag
[#] May 23, 2007 03:37pm
tC_by_trd Reg'd: Mar 08, 2007 Vehicle Designer	oh yeah nitrous gets rid of turbo lag like i said. but it can also get the turbo to reach a point to where it looses efficiency faster. for example a small turbo can only boost about 14lbs well the nitrous will cause it to spin so fast that it will bring down the efficiency down to like 12lbs but it will make up for it since the nitrous also makes the car revv faster, thats what happend to my brother car when he stared sprayin in his car
[#] May 23, 2007 03:37pm
tC_by_trd Reg'd: Mar 08, 2007 Vehicle Designer	oh and jus a rule of thumb dont ever spray more than 20shot per cylinder, so for the tc the maximun would be an 80 shot, i want to try a 100 shot but im scared of what would happen so i stick with my 75 and spray all i want lol
