ok guys, ive been down the turbo road a few times and have loved but.. if i do it again i will most likely have to get custom pistions/ rods sense i cannot find some 4agze pistons. either way i am collecting parts to get her on the road again for this summer. so far ive got some more gauges on the way, new ACT clutch to be installed... i am waiting to see which pressure plate i want, i'll probably go for the 275tq one just to be safe. either route i go with my motor will be getting a port and polish job... rear drum to disc is also on my list to be done but sense i have had many problems with the turbo i am now looking into N20 (i guess i going backwards as some may see this) but, has anyone here ran nitrous on there 1.8 7afe? im looking for all details like:
what brand nitrous kit? dry wet or DP (direct port)? what size shot? upgraded clutch? any problems experienced? anything else worth noting... thanks for your opinions and input in advance. |

I haven't done it on a celica, but heres my suggestion from other things I've done:
Definitely DO NOT get a dry kit. Get a wet kit. If you're going to be shooting anything over about 50hp its probably worthwhile to go direct port. Its really not that hard to do. I think a motor with forged pistons and a rebuild could handle a 75 shot, probably more if you're careful and install the low fuel pressure cutoff. I would highly suggest a good thermostatic bottle heater, it'll save you money in the long run. A remote bottle valve is also a good investment but not necessary for anything but convenience. Clutch would be a good idea but you wouldn't need anything more than the ACT that you're thinking about now. An upgraded fuel pump would also be necessary at higher hp levels but I think you already have that. Thats all I can think of for now, maybe I'll think of more later. |
