Nitrous?
 

has anyone ever put nitrous in their truck? and has anyone ever raced a truck, used their truck to race?

i think i speak for everyone when i say this... nope.

Build your engine internals first, then if you still need nitrous get it. Unless you have one of those lowered 4x2 tacomas....i doubt it would be worth it. Toyota trucks don't really have much of a....drag racing heritage.

The only time you're going to win a race with a toyota truck is when you're racing another toyota truck (and even then you stand a 50/50 chance of losing).

Devils advocate
 

Dear god, are you thinking about putting nitrous in a 22re truck?!!!1

without the toyota logo, i would have sworn that was an S10

ok...so thats one...

someone had a video of a toyota tacoma 4x4 or prerunner at a drag strip racing a porche 911 ...the toyota won.

Lemme guess the 911 was in reverse w/flat tires huh???....lol..... I'd pay money to see some1 bump the nitro button while 'wheelin.....

yep, i'm gonna be putting nitrous in my 22re. it's a 94 2x4 so there is no real reason for me not to try and make it faster. just with an intake and complete exhaust i have seen HUGE improvements with horsepower and torque. and the only bad thing about having a toyo trans is that it is not good for top speed. and i will admit that i have raced people in the past, mostly pretty boys that think their civic is the best in the world, and just completely ripped them a new a$$hole.

SAY IT AIN'T SO! :pat:

DEATH TO THE INFIDEL RICERS!!!!!!.....<----sorry,I hate when I start chanting like that.....lack of coffee and all.....

:dunno: Uh, yeah. Speak for yourself. :laugh:

:lol:

Yeah, that can happen with any pressurized gas... even a SCUBA bottle.



Testify! :D



Max, you'll probably be the first on _this_ forum to try it (edit: on a 22re), we're mostly common off-roaders on here and nitrous wouldn't help us much. Just be aware of the normal concerns running gas, like burning holes in pistons.

Tranny wise... you can always regear, there are plenty of options for your rear diff to get you more speed on the top end.

Are you thinking a 50 shot? 75?


Keep us informed of how it goes, include ET slips if you get 'em, and PICTURES! We love pictures!

GOOD LUCK!

I remember a YT member, in phoenix I think who was running NOS in his tacoma. Blew the engine with a 175 shot I believe??? Someone else must remember this too.

Okay, so I wasn't going nuts... I thought I rememered that too... A quick search found:

You can blow ANY motor with nitrous... Max seems intent on doing it, and as such, I still wish him luck. :)

Yeah, I met him at Checker auto as he was pulling his NOS bottle out of his truck to refill it. I thought that was pretty crazy. I recommended him to YT.

find a trubo 22re and be done.

Good luck and take pics
