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. |

thanks speed, i already have a NX wet kit i was going to install on my sr20 nissan but its been in the shop FOREVER (november 13 till present day...) so yea... if i do go n2o i have an NX wetkit, new 255lph intank pump, RR FPR, and the clutch, i should be good with a 75 shot. id be afraid to go anymore without a progressive controller or DP. im looking to get my celica back on the road ASAP like this saturday, or next saturday and i want to take the route that is best for realiablity, but i still want my toys... i know i cant have both but i am willing to take the risk one more time do to a desprate need for transportation. i know the turbo has given be problems with the PCV valve and some EGT's going to high (i have been dyno tuned see my file) so im thinking of running lower boost, which i should have done from the 1st place but its so addictive. maybe my new clutch and lower boost can yeild some better number thou,.. who knows.. 97sccelica (maybe misspelled sorry!) has had good results until a faulty fuel pump with lower boost. from my misfortune and his good fortune i think i can get a realible celica again with boost. i would get another car but my parents are giving me a hard time about the nissan not done and the celica in the driveway so thats out. |
