Nos Setup
Hello there, i have a few questions for any one who has the answers but ill just go ahead and post what im going to do.
im setting my 08 scion xd up with nos, im changing the spark plugs out (not sure what kind yet) any thing specific i should get?
im getting two 10 pound bottles with a duel purge valve. i plan on doing a wet setup but might change my mind to a dry shot. only a 55 shot (mainly going for show but still want to have some fun with it) i have headers, and exhaust and a full specter cold air intake.
im going to use a MSD window switch so i don't over rev and Blow the engine.. and im getting a fuel pressure safety switch that way if my fuel pressure falls below a certain point the nos wont engage (to avoid bad fuel/nos mixture)
and a full-throttle activation switch so i dont blow it at a low RPM
and last but not least, im getting a 1600 PSI Nitrous Pressure Gauge. are there any other gauges i need? if not, i still have 2 slots to fill on my pillar pod.. will a boost gauge work? (when using the nos that is)
Will the car need to be tuned after all this or should it run fine?
can i put i higher shot nos system in the xd? (not willing to go above 75 shot)

I just purchased a Nitrous kit for my car. No show here... is all about the go!
Is a NX wet kit. 50hp shot. For the safety factor I will be using a 2in1 WOT/Window switch from NOS for fly by wire cars.
We will see how it goes..!

do you have any pics?/reciept?/part number to share? How much? what dealer/dealership? is it a TRD header or some other aftermarket? This is kinda bigger news than your NOS setup, which does sound very cool by the way. With the epic failure of the recent turbo effort NOS seems like an alternative. Not trying to hijack your thread but if you've found a header we need to know!

thats excellent! what size piping did you go with and did you have any pictures taken? Have you noticed any significant gains? Its been said on the boards here that the stock header is actually quite efficient if i'm not mistaken.

i have pictures, ill try to post them when i get back from Florida. (live in Texas) but basically all i did was use the same size and all piping.. just added to it to make it a long pipe set up. and as far as performance difference... sounds a little better. but i have seen a huge gain in power. so id say the stock was pretty good from the start. no dyno stats tho
P.S. decided to go turbo...
