Hey guys, I recently bought a smaller nitrous kit that is a 35 shot. I installed it on my Celica, after a full tune-up, 98 octane gas, and oil change...I decided to try it out. Well, the first few runs with it were decent, but honestly nothing to brag about. I then bumped it up to the 50 shot nozzle, refilled the bottle, ready to go. The gain was noticeable for sure, definitely helped...but now I have a tick in my engine. Granted it's got 144k on it, but this is just kind of a warning I guess from me that even with the full tuneup, properly maintained and high octane gas...stuff still can go wrong even when only putting in a 50 shot. I have uninstalled the kit today and plan to sell it to a friend who has an Eclipse turbo. I don't even know why I tried this, I have a WRX that is plenty fast...and now a daily driver that has an engine tick. Be careful guys.

Did you do it right? Retarded timing and colder plugs? If not... the engine can lean out and can easily damage the pistons. It's not a matter of starting with a good engine as it is starting with good precautions.
