Default Nitrous Install

Hey guys i bought a nitrous kit off of a SL member and itll be here by friday so i plan on getting it hooked up before the end of the week. Its a dry system so ill have to drill into the intake. Im not too comfortable doing this by myself especially the wiring part because i just have a thing for blowing fuses and screwing up haha. Im just looking for some help maybe even some pictures of an install on a tc if there are any out there. Ive asked promotion how much the install would be and they said atleast $400!! thats more than i paid for the kit! So i really dont want to pay for the install.

There is no return fuel line, the regulator is in the gas tank and is computer controlled. The tC has a drve-by-wire throttle body so the Zex kit is the only one I know that opperates right of the throttle position signal. Not a mechanical full trottle switch which comes in other kits, those wont work on the tC.

sorry for getting off topic, but clubsciontc is way more advanced in nitrous talk than we are on here. in there power/drive train thread there still arguing stuff we squashed like a year ago, if you need nitrous info then head over to there forum, although i rep scionlife not clubsciontc



scionlife>clubsciontc

How did you tap into the fuel pressure regulator. I tried to put a dry kit on my 06 tC, but at the end of the fuel rail there is only a fuel pressure dampener and not a regulator. The dampener does not have the vacuum hose conections. Just wondering. Thanks for any insight.
