I also use a 100shot nos. All i did was upgrade to the supra fuel pump and uses wet system into the intake. Pretty simple. I actually have the TNT kit.

I think the wensite is texasnitrous.com

They make the most complete kit i have ever seen. It comes even with the blow down tube and filters etc.

Default but how does it work????

does it give you that extra power when you want it? How long have you been using it...do you worry that using a wet system will blow your motor. What about your tranny...how is it holding up?

I have the Level 10 torque converter with driveshaftshop custom shaft Frank was very helpful at DriveShaftShop. It might be expensive but he makes all this prototype aftermarket stuff. . Just waiting for the Turbo upgrade. Nos gets expensive. 2.99 refill per pound A nitrous 10 lbs bottle gets about 10 runs before its starts to go weak. Supra/Lexus NA motor loves to take nitrous. From what the guys at MKIV.com are doing is just upping the fuel pressure and keeping the motor happy. They been doing this for long time on there na cars. I seen a couple guys run 150shot and the motor just keeps on going. The best and safest system would be direct port and keep the shot low. It will be much better that way so you can evenly distribute the fuel and nos into the intake.

It is very hard to detect if nitrous was installed on a car. The only thing you will notice is probably a slight hole on the intake charge pipe. What i did i mounted my bottole inthe truck ran the line under the body using eletrcial c clap holders and hten ran the nos line to the solonoids which are mounted on the back of the firewall. I then tapped the intake charge pipe on the bottom rather than the top. Remember at least 6-8 inchs from the TB

I believe that the dry system is the safest and easiest to install.

the fastest the car has gone on 100shot is 13.2@104 with tire spin... I think it would be nice if i can figure out how to rig a progessive controller to the nos kit. start of like a 30 shot and hit full throttle in like 2ngear up it to like 60 shot then 3rd up to 100 full shot. I think with that i would run faster

It definitely different than driving my other car thats full decked for race.
