Check the manufacturers website, as far as I know no one has ever made a kit for the Crayola. Not that you need a kit to put one in but most people wouldn't go through the trouble of modding the injectors themself if there wasn't a kit made for it.

EDIT: There would also probably be an arming switch somewhere under the dash or center console. Look for holes that could fit a small toggle switch.

Nitrous kits are fairly universal. My NX kit (on a Corolla now..hah) can also fit my MR2..a Hyundai Excel..or whatever.

Anyway..check and see if there are any holes drilled in the intake, and check the trunk for bottle mount holes. Either way, it shouldn't have hurt the car at all..if it runs fine now, the previous nitrous use isn't going to give you any problems. It's not as dangerous as most make it sound.

The only other thing i can think of is to pull the plugs and inspect them to see how the combustion looks. If you can see anything that looks like specs of metal then that's a good indication of detonation caused improper timing or fuel/air combo. Also see what brand of plugs he's running, if he had half a brain he would have been running plugs a range colder then stock.

I agree, It has a better chance of having a Hemi stuffed under the hood.

Old corollas had a hemispherical heads. So technically.............

It would really depend on the type of kit installed... a dry kit would be along the lines of what OS mentioned. If he had a wet or direct port kit on it, you would need to check the intake manifold for signs of removal and reinstall. You should also check the firewall to see if there are any signs of drilling as most clean installers will try and keep the lines hidden. Check the trunk, the most likely place for bottle mounting. If it looks ok (no holes drilled for a holding bracket) I'd say you're good.

It was probably just some retarded kid who thought he was totally F&F thumbsdown: ) Or if your sister wants a race, I've got a Focus she can run

Oh, and take out those hood led nozzles before I find you and beat them out of the hood with my bat. :thumbsup:

Yeah, as OS said, they would have had to have put in fittings to get the nitrous into the engine. These are usually on the intake or sometimes in the air intake hoses. There are kits for some cars that are a plate that fits between the upper and lower intakes, but that's a bit to exotic to have been in a Corrola IMO.

The wet kits I've seen still jet fuel at the same point as nitrous.

In contrast to the dry system is the "wet" system. Wet systems inject nitrous and fuel at the same point, usually directly under the carburetor or at the throttle body on tunnel ram style intakes. Wet plate systems are very popular because they are simple and usually easy to install.

I think direct port nitrous you need another intake manifold, these setups are usually rare.

Right, like asking a used car salesman if there's anything wrong with a car. I'm sure you'll get an honest answer. :roll:

Heh...it's even got the classic ricer "add aftermarket wing w/LED brake light and leave stock 3rd brake light in place" mod

If you leave that spoiler on there, please get rid of the stock light behind the glass...
