Are you kidding me?? the F-16s F-100 engines are poop..havn't you seen how many pilots each year punch out of these because the engines screw up ..they are even worse then a taco on NO2 !!!!

Here you go, you can buy this whole S-10 with a chevy 5.7 in it and just use the moter..

In general NX for the amount of power that you want this is just the first of a long list of problems. My dad and many of my friend drag race cars, and it seems that for every dollar you drop into adding horsepower you spend 2 dollars fixing something that couldn't handle the power. You will probably break clutches, transmissions, twist driveshafts, ruin gears, snap numerous mounts, and blow engines.

Just my $.02

I would take off my N20 kit and then have the truck towed to the dealer. You need to act totally stupid about what has happened. Just say that you heard a noise and then the truck just died. Make them PROVE that you sprayed. Some dealerships will know what really happended but will fix it anyway. I was told by a dodge dealership that If I ever needed warrenty work to just remove my spray and bring it in. Sure it will look fishy to have busted pistons on a 19,000 mile truck, but just take your change with the dealerships first.... you might get lucky.

I would definately give it a try. When I was 12 I was changing the oil on my dad's new F250 and I accidentally drained the tranny fluid and put an extra 6 quarts in the engine, yes it held it all. A few miles down the road the tranny froze. The dealer replaced it for free.

N2o

Good job guys! Except the air we breathe is 21% O2 (diatomic) and NO2 is 70% O. So NO2 has over 3x more O than air at atmospheric pressure.
And except that nitrous oxide is N2O not NO2. Nitrous oxide is equivalent to 33% oxygen compared to the 20% oxygen in air.

Also, since the nitrous gets into the cylinders as a liquid you can stuff even more in.

Last edited by dcampen; Mar 25, 2004 at 08:30 AM. Reason: Also it is a liquid.

No, but I would certainly not mind my next Toyota being better and cheaper than it might be thanks to you

If you're going through the trouble of thinking of putting the inline 6 from a Supra with the twins, you might as well find a good V-8 and custom install the V-8 in your truck.

F2uning engine is probably more expensive or just as expensive. You'll need a piggy back or re-programmed ECU to support the engine. I don't recall any stand alone EMS that is custom fit for the Runner, but you can always wire one up. Haltechs are very straight forward, but the AEM may not be.

Next expensive thing is to customize your V-8 (piston heads, rods, etc) for high horsepower (high compression ratio) or forced induction (lower compression ratio).

I wouldn't recommend a turbo set-up seeing you blew your engine with N20. If tuning isn't your forte, leave it to somebody else or a nice N/A engine with no additives (N20, methanol, etc).

You probably should sell your Yota and get the SS or Lightning. It'll be less hassle to tell you the truth. Those trucks came out of the factory with the intent of street performance. You'll also get all the quirks of such a truck (especially expensive tires!).
Resale value won't be as high and the reliability will be somewhat compromised, but the engines and drivetrain in those trucks are pretty burly.

If I put differant piston's and lower the shot of nitrous to 75 shot, I just want to know if the motor will handle it? I now know that a SS or Lighting will be the next thing I get, but I love this Tacoma and will bring it back from the DEAD!!!

MSD shouldn't be a big deal to them. Most dealerships overlook stuff like K&N Gen II's, headers, and other small mods. Just take the spray off and see what they say then. If they won't check other dealers.. someone likely will and it will SAVE you a lot of money.

A V-6 in Theory should handle a 75 as long as detonation isn't present. What kind of gas were you running with the 125 shot? Most octane boosters do not work! The NX power Booster is fairly effective and that is what I used 99% of the time with my 150 shot. NEVER use leaded race gas.. it will work in unleaded engines but will kill your 02's and Cat eventually. I had a friend who ran a100 shot on his 4.3L s-10 and it eventually killed it.. but he didn't do things right.

Here are the Nitrous basics

1. USE GOOD GAS. 93 octane + good booster (NX) or 100 octane unleaded race gas

2. Use a timing retard if you can on the 3.4L . The MSD Digital 6 plus is a wonderful Igntion for N20 because it only retards time when you are under spray. I had a lot of timing advance in my PCM with thr 150 shot and I would pull 2 degrees. If you have stock timing and are running a small shot then pulling time is not needed.

3. Use a 1 step or 2 colder spark plug gapped at 0.035. You want small gaps with N20. Large gaps can cause misfire which is not good. The colder plug will help lessen detonation. DO NOT use Platinum plugs with N20. Only use a good copper plug such as NGK.

4. Use a WOT switch with N20. Activating N20 at to low of RPM can cause damage.


These are just a few basics to keep you safer the next time around.

Didn't someone get flamed to hell last year because they wanted to do this?
Call me whatever you want but to take it in and get it fixed under warranty is dishonest. But hey, if their service tech told you to do it that way...
