    Who's got Nitrous on their 8-gen?

    So I've got a 2002 LE, and given the limited availability of engine mods available, I'm thinking about adding Nitrous.

    So who has it? Tell me everything. What kit? How much and where did you buy it? Wet or Dry? How easy to install? How big a shot do you run?

    I don't think it's worth it. It's temporary at best and the risks are too great. Just keep this as a daily driver and get another car with more power.

    you could add it, but I recommend atleast upgrading the rods, since they're made for just 200hp~ in the engine, (someone that has turboed their engine please add)

    asides from that wet is far more to my liking (adds gas with the nitrous at the throttle) and some wideband...

    as above... people with experience please add...

    personally I wouldn't bother xD

    Def..get a wet kit, nx, zex kit is a good one. if u search around u should find a complete kit for 300-400 used, maybe less. not sure how much the corolla engine can handle, never got the chance to install one on the rolla. i guess running a 50 to 75 shot should be ok.

    i remember someone claiming a 100shot will be alright. as long as you are careful (on a 1zz not on a corolla)
