Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior help with nitros

i have a nitros kit for my celica and i really dont have any engine mods all i have is cai and exhaust i was wondering if anyone knows what i could do to make my engine respond better to this modification. i want the air and fuel and all that shit to be right i dont want it to run to rich or to lean i want everything to be tuned right so i dont fuck up my car thanks peace

Well... It will be a grip of money, but get the TRIAL header for better flow of the NOS. The Apexi S-AFC might help you in keeping things tuned and running well.

Light weight/15" rims, drag radials, clutch, flywheel, LSD, high-flow cat, removed or "race" reasonator, TRD KAZUMA exhaust, apex-i S-AFC or power fc & dyno tuning, lightweight seats, carbon fiber hood(weight reduction), Trial or TRD Header, Trial stroker kit, port polish(if you have the $$$), remove your air conditioner and/or power steering, and get anything you can replaced with something that weighs less... Don't forget a proper suspension setup to transfer weight... also since you are spending all this money to make your car faster... spend some money on making your car able to stop just as fast! did i miss anything? Oh yeah, go on a diet.

depends on how much shot of nitros you want? if it's 50hp or less, it's safe with just your stock engine..if you go any higher, then yeah, go ahead and do all what steven wrote..goodluck!

thanks for the tips but im not looking to make it a race car i just want something that is somewhat stock but yet has ballz i have the trd exhaust and the injen intake i want the s-afc contoller aa clutch, flywheel and header and think ill be ok with just a 50 dry shot but i was wondering if the computer on the car will go retard on me

Celicas can't take a dry shot. You need to go with a wet nitrous system since we have no fuel return line. I wouldn't bother with the S-AFC, the ECU will re-adjust and override any changes you make within a few hours.

Get a 35 or 50 wet nitrous system and you'll have more balls for the occasional drag races..

i very much agree

i already have a dry systen is there any way i can convert this system into a wet system what parts do i need to buy to do this conversion so i can grow some balls

im in the same boat, i need to know how to hook up my dry kit and how to convert it to a wet kit, if anyone has this info, please post it here or on my thread, Zex dry kit setup

I thought the Apexi-FC was a full ECU replacement...?

apexi has the power fc which does work but the s-afc is jsut a piggy back

I see, got the names mixed up.

Go to www.zex.com [zex.com] and buy the dry to wet converter. It is a whole new controller. Also what the guys above have said is true.. If you do not go above 50 or even 75 (limited use only) then you need to do nothing to the motor. Intake and exhaust are perfect... I will say this one more time, you have to have a wet kit only...
