Ok so you have most of the safety and performance equipment for the kit. If your car is a manual you should also get a window switch.. Lookup MSD window Switch on google or buy it at summitracing.com. What that does is activates the nitrous at a desired rpm and deactivates at a certain rpm so that your kit will only spray at WOT above lets say 3k rpms and will shut off usually 2-300 rpm before rev limiter so that you do not hit rev limiter while spraying which is real bad. Next on a wet kit you do not need to upgrade injectors since your fuel solenoid will be providing fuel. What you should do is hook up a mechanical fuel gauge and tape it to the window so you can watch it and make sure you dont have a huge drop in fuel pressure when you are spraying. You can either get a better fuel pump or put an inline boost a pump which ups the voltage of your current pump to basically do the same thing. If you spray your car all the time you should expect things to break it will happen 55 shot 100 shot whatever. Nitrous is a shock power adder and does not come on gradually. Also optimum psi in the bottle with the warmer is about 1100. I run mine in my trans am/formula at 1150. I also spray 150-250shot on it and will be spraying 300 at the track. With nitrous you also want to run a step colder spark plug to lessen the chances of detonation/preignition. I would recommend running better than 87 octane too or backing the ignition timing off 2 degrees. You may not need to do all this just for a 50 shot but they are very good things to consider and it's better to be safe than sorry. If anyone has any nitrous questions feel free to ask I know a pretty good amount. Unfortunetly I just got my scion so I dont know alot about them but i have done all my work on my formula which includes pulling motor, building new one, clutch, rear end basically everything replaced. After I put a few thousand miles on the scion hopefully there will be more parts out for it and I will start tearing into that thing too.. Good luck to you and everyone here.. MOD AWAY!!

Thanks man. I actually hated that front end when I first got the car but it grew on me.. Once there are more internals for the 2.4 I will begin modding it so thast im not spending a bunch of money on parts that are just borrowed time

Honestly though if were talking about less than a 75 shot here its very rare to see puddling or a backfire unless its on a car with traction control thats what caused it on the yellow vette video that floats around. What happens is he came out hard on the juice and traction control cut the throttle and fuel, spark advance so everything had no where to go but then the traction control let him get back into and bam backfire..I think youd have to worry about internals before a nitrous backfire as long as you set your system up right. I know its not a scion board but IM a mod over at ls1tech.com and there are so many nitrous cars over there and that is the least popular out of things going wrong on a juiced car... 9 out of ten times it was traction control or improperly set up
