Don't Flame me...i have searched for a bit now and have not quite found what i am looking for.

Just want to know what is an appropiate amount of Nitrous for a Stock 3VZ-FE. I am looking at Dry kits with a 30 shot and a 60 shot.
I am also open to all recomendations about this subject

Thanks and Flame Suit on

I would go for the wet system. Safer IMHO.

Also, how many miles on your motor and have you done a compression check?

BlueC · 02-21-2005, 11:04 AM

I was told the motor was rebuilt around 30k ago...have a reciept.
I have a shop buddy that is doing the compression test in the next few weeks...when ever i make it over to his shop. if i find something wrong that would befixed first anyway

Then go to nitrous express' site and get a kit. Most of them are universal and they will run about $400 with the bottle.

400 bucks with bottle is pretty good.
a touch out of my budget but i can convince the wife to fudge it alittle.
i set aside 350 for Power upgrades and this seemed the most HP for my money.
I have other stuff in mind aswell...I would love to Turbo. which is harder on a stock engine Turbo or Nitrous?

^ Your motor is stout enough. It's a good motor. If you don't have a baller budget (from what I see) the nitrous should be enough for you.

all in all i have around 2G for suspension and Brakes and Engine...i am pretty much done with the suspension and i am doing brake stuff next...i figured that i should be able to handle and stop the power i would like to have.

I have dropped around 600 for suspension stuff and figured around another 300-500 for brakes. then what is left is for HP.

I recommend headers.

They add maybe like 25 hp but it's always there. Nitrous runs out.
Also headers run around that price too.

CamryPunk · 02-21-2005, 11:53 AM

^ They don't have headers for a 3vz camry do they?

BlueC · 02-21-2005, 12:12 PM

Headers would be nice...i was also thinking about exhaust and intakes.

I highly doubt headers will add that much hp. Maybe 10whp max.

prolly not even 10 whp lol, they make your engine look nice, the stock manifolds are fine, a better upgrade is a complete exhaust rework, but its more than $400, and you gotta find a good shop to do it

BlueC · 02-21-2005, 12:58 PM

So whole Exhaust setup will help alot? what about CAI? i was told that your stock one with some slight modification would work just as well if not better

^ yeah just put in a k&n in the box, remove the resonators for more throaty sound...and bingo! from where the stock box picks up air, it's mostly a cai anyways.

BlueC · 02-21-2005, 01:17 PM

Yeah i found a post about that while searching... it looks like that is what i am going to do....do you know of any pics for it? or just cut the bottom panel of the box out?
