doock87 Reg'd: May 18, 2005 Oil Changer	Check out my thread, i'm installing my own kit as well. I've outlined in excruciating detail the replacement of the stock nylon fuel hose with a rubber hose. I'm installing the rest of the kit tonight, so watch out for updates!

powerhouse21 Reg'd: Jun 10, 2007 Tech Advisor	well i have a dry kit so i dont have to mess with the fuel line or anything. All i need to worry about is drilling into the intake...still worries me though. Where is the MAF because i know i need to drill before it.

MrScion07 Reg'd: Sep 09, 2006 Godlike Advisor	do u have any buddys that already have a kit even if they didnt install it on a tc im sure they could lend a helpful thought. I have a buddy with a celica he said he would help me if i ever did it...

doock87 Reg'd: May 18, 2005 Oil Changer	The easiest way to install a dry kit is to get zex's filter with the nozzle installed on it already. That is if you have a cold air/short ram intake already installed. Otherwise, the MAF is the square looking sensor on your intake tube. Sorry that i can't give you more detailed advice, but this should help you out some.

powerhouse21 Reg'd: Jun 10, 2007 Tech Advisor	no that helps. Now ive read to put it about 6-8 inches from the throttle body...where is that?

Your asking where the throttle body is? If so the throttle body is is silver circular thing that the intake connects to. If you take off the plasticVVTI engine cover you will have a perfect view of it. Or better yet follow the intake until the black stops and you see silver you cant miss it A car is only as good as it's driver.

All i need to worry about is drilling into the intake...still worries me though. Where is the MAF because i know i need to drill before it. A dry kit is not reccomended from our cars. We have a plastic intake manifold and with our ecu, it will have major issues making the required fuel changes. Do it if you want, but I think you are going to have major issues!! Additionally, if you dont know where the MAF is, i dont think you should be doing this install. The MAF is one of the EASIEST things in our cars to find. Nitrous isnt something to just throw and go. You should have some knowledge on it prior to messing with it. The maf is a few inches back from the airbox by the way. Good luck, your gonna need it.

Oh man, I hate to sound rude, but do not install your nitrous kit. Do you have any knowledge on working on cars? The throttle body, again, is EXTREMELY evident. Doing an install like a nitrous kit should be done by either a professional, or someone with some mechanical expertise on cars. The throttle body can be located on ANY car within seconds, by following the intake piping. Dude, really consider not doing this yourself. I say this to help you, not to be mean.

powerhouse21 Reg'd: Jun 10, 2007 Tech Advisor	Thanks for the input guys..but im not doing this alone. I have a buddy who installed a nitrous kit on his mustang who is going to come over and help me out and he knows plenty about cars so we should be ok.

FrAnkRYzzO Reg'd: Oct 21, 2005 $upervillain for Hire	As was previously stated, a dry kit can be very destructive on our cars. If you definitely want to go dry, i wouldn't advise going any higher then a 50 shot. Our cars seem to handle those with reliability, but anything more, you're just asking for trouble. Good luck on the install, it can get kind of tricky. ............... Donate or one of these adorable kittens WILL DIE!

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	^what are u talking bout? a wet kit is no more safer than a dry kit. a dry kit is fine for the tC if properly used

07TouringCoupe Reg'd: Jul 14, 2007 Scion Guru	I jus figured a dry kit would be all that great because our ECU is adaptive at all. Any time you got to reset it with doing basic bolt on mods to get it to adjust, then asking the ECU to properly mix the n20 and the gas. That's jus my biggest thing A car is only as good as it's driver.

powerhouse21 Reg'd: Jun 10, 2007 Tech Advisor	can anybody post a pic of where i should put the nozzle? Or atleast a pic with an arrow or explanation?
[#] Sep 27, 2007 04:45pm
Mugetsu Reg'd: Oct 11, 2006 Scion Guru	that nozzle needs to be no less than 6 inches "in front" of the MAF and no farther than 8, because of were it sits on the intake thats a near impossibility... get it too close and your going to shock the shiz outta the hot wire and either bog rich or worse lean out, unless you have the AEM or TRD intake i would advise against a dry kit. you need that nozzle in a fairly straight path with the MAF. Yikes... wow that was more intense than that one time I forgot how to sit down...

A nitrous setup can be used for power, or fore cooling of intake temps (that would be a small shot of nitrous to provide cooling) A wet kit relies on the settings of nozzles and pumps to get a proper mixture of air and fuel into the combustion chamber. A dry kit relies on the ecu to realize there is more air coming into the engine and there for more fuel needing to be in the engine as well. The stock scion tC ECU is not capable of making these adjustments on a large scale. It can do minute amounts, but not on the level of a nitrous system. Youw ill most likely run extremely lean and have MAJOR detonation problems. You cannot up the air intake without upping the fuel intake. So how do you plan to adjust your air/fuel ratios, since you cant use a fuel nozzle to do it?

hvtopiwala Reg'd: Jan 03, 2007 Godlike Advisor	well how have i seen tons of people with 75 shot dry kits running just fine? retarding the timings?
[#] Sep 27, 2007 06:02pm
nick06tc Reg'd: May 20, 2006 Scion Guru	You have seen TONS of people running a 75 dry shot in tCs? I need to find places with TONS of tCs running nitrous, that happen to be dry shots, and 75shots. that would be a cool place to hang out.

Mugetsu Reg'd: Oct 11, 2006 Scion Guru	Its possible to run a 50 dry safely(if you know a few secrets) I would not do 75, but you basically need a custom intake or the ones i listed above. I have a zex nitrous injector amplifier(basically a cone filter with a dry jet good to 75 in one piece) NEW if you want it 40$ shipped. its a 2.75" thought with a 6' dry line. i would start with a 30 jet if i were him and work my way up... wow that was more intense than that one time I forgot how to sit down...

07TouringCoupe Reg'd: Jul 14, 2007 Scion Guru	Ive read that dry is good for n/a cars which our cars are but at the same time its better with adaptive ECU'S that our cars dont have. Im gonna leave the ECU out of it and run wet. A car is only as good as it's driver.

doock87 Reg'd: May 18, 2005 Oil Changer	That's what i decided to do, and i'd love to say it's working out just fine, but... the wiring. Oh god the wiring. Why can't i get 3 wires to work?

07TouringCoupe Reg'd: Jul 14, 2007 Scion Guru	I dont think the install is hard but i still aint doing mine. A car is only as good as it's driver.
