1. The Silvertop 4AGE engines are a popular and
relatively cheap (by Honda standards) swap for
Toyota owners, with power almost equal to
Honda's more famous B series motors.
2. This particular car was to be a drag car and
what better way to drop seconds of your ET than
bolting on a Nitrous Express system.
3. Fuel and nitrous solenoids
are attached to the bracket.
4. Nice and snug, red and blue colors make the
solenoid pretty.
5. The solenoids are to be placed just a little
below the shock tower due to its proximity to
the intake and fuel lines.
6. A hole was drilled in the intake tube for the
bung to hold the nozzle. This car will be
running filterless during the race.
7. The solenoids are then attached to the
nozzle.
8. Here we have the solenoid and nozzle attached
to the intake.
9. The driver wanted the bottle behind the rear
passenger seat. This makes running the line a
bit easier since we don't have to run it all the
way to the back.
10. Here the nitrous feed line is shown and
attached to the nitrous solenoid.
11. Here's a good place to mount the go fast
button. Behind the shifter enables instant
activation after shifting, saving precious time
as opposed to extending your arm again to press
a button on the dash.
12. The master on/off is left dangling and will
be hidden away under the lower dash.
13. The fuel line is cut and a T fitting is
fitted to supply extra fuel.
14. We bolted the brackets to thick piece of
acrylic that wedges snugly behind in the rear to
hold in place.
15. Instant access to the bottle valve and this
Corolla is ready to rock.
16. A smidgen over 180hp at peak, up from 135hp.
Note the almost 60hp increase at 5000rpm.
Nitrous Express enabled this Corolla to rocket
down the quarter mile in the mid 14s.
