I hope this hasn't been covered anywhere at length, and if it has, I cannot find it for the life of me......
SO, I've noticed that nobody here has given their car a little extra boost and I was just curious as to why (as their surely must be a reason if nobody has done it).
Will the car not handle it? Does it not work on Auto's? What? (I am new to this by the way).
Thanks!

talk to mcelligott (sp?) on this board. He has a nitrous set up on his 92. IT IS a 5 speed though.
He's still the guy to talk to...
I'm a moron when it comes to installing/using nitrous, simply because I never plan on getting it.

Well ****. I knew there must have been a reason! Thanks for the post flip, even though it is sort os depressing than there really is now way to get even a little extra power out of this car. I've wanted a GS for quite some time now, but money does not/ willl not permit this for quite some time. Guess I'll just have to suffer for a while eh.........it's rough when you have to suffer through driving any kind of Lexus.
Thanks for the replies guys.......

Putting in more then minimal nitrous on a front-driver, besides overstressing the engine, would give you hellacious torque steer, though the automatic tranny would help filter some of it out.

As covered many times. camry/solara S/C won't work.
Also all ES's of that era use the Avalon ECU.
See the link HERE
To learn more about NOS.
btw 20hp/L.

Ummm theres more to it than just the ECU and vaccum lines. It will physically fit on the block, but wont work properly with VVT-i 1MZ-FEs since it has a dual throttle body setup where as the TRD S/C for the 1MZ-FE is a single TB design.
