Unhappy Well I did it, it's DEAD!!!!!

Yes! On March 24/1:38, I NX Tacoma with a 125 shot of nitrous blew my motor!!! The truck was about 9 months old and had 19,000 miles on it. What do you think I should do next(anybody with a good idea)??

Well, since you have the cajones to come here and tell us you blew your motor, then we have the right to tell you "We told you so."

Since what you did won't be covered under warranty, start looking for a replacement motor. And since you are after a High Horsepower engine, look at F2Uning to build you one as was previously suggested.

I know you're bummed, but you were warned.

Good luck.

Will the F2Uning motor still work for me with the nitrous or should I give up and buy a SS truck?

They can build you a motor capable of putting out more HP than you can ever safely use on the street. Just tell them what you want and they'll build it.

Peace.

So give a poor old chemistry teacher the remains and go spend some more money on something faster.

By the way, don't read anything about Darwin...

So you're the one that almost hit me going down the highway at 120 MPH, right?

Uh, most likely not. Dealerships are all about returning things to the way they were when they left the factory. If you want a High Horsepower, REALIABLE 5VZ-FE, F2Uning is really your only option. You know, the TRD S/C with the URD fuel options, water injection, with headers and nice cat-back would more than likely humble a LOT of cars, like Mustangs and more than a few Vette's I would imagine.

But, if you want more juice than that setup wil give you, then again, F2Uning needs a call from you.

Never saw this coming. I also would like to see some pictures of this madness. I think you should sell the truck dirt cheap to me.
I'd say find a different vehicle for this application. I'd say I'm sorry to hear it, but you kinda brought it all on yourself. Good luck with whatevery ou decide.

Sorry to hear about what happened. I agree, go with a F2 motor, or pick up a used motor on ebay, put the truck back together, sell it, and get a Lightning or something.

Where in the heck were you squeezin? It better have been a good race!

I was racing a Civic SI. It was a GREAT race, until we stop at a light(Bell&7th street).We were neck & neck then as quick as it started it stop(after a gun shot sound came from the motor) . The truck stop running, I started CRYING!! :cry: The service consultant at Bell Road Toyota said that if I took everything off, he would get it fix. Well see tommorrow?? I will get pic's for you to see, WHAT A TOYOTA SHOULD NEVER LOOK LIKE!!
