Alky Injection Kit?

[tiffo60]

Since all the problems with detonation from the ethonal in our gas I have been thinking about putting an Alky injection kit on my truck, I did some searching and couldnt really find any topics on it, so I was wondering if anyone has used these kits or if anyone has any opinions on it?

It is a bunch of pieces to throw on and can get expensive if you run the good controller for it. Then you are always lifitng the hood to refill the bottle. I put a Snow Performance kit on a truck a few years ago. He had the basic controller and results were mixed.

Hmm, I want a kit for my diesel now:D . I could put this 8 gallon tank in the bed and go a whopping 5-600 miles! Sourcing Methanol isn't all gravy either.

Maybe it's time for someone to develop a propane fuel system for fuel injected supercharged engines???? :tex

Nice avatar, is that suppose to be John:D :rolleyes: Propane is a fuel you will need an oxidizer as well.

You remembered eh? :d

this is the company i have been looking into, and agreed its not going to be real cheap but seems like it will be good insurance and may be able to even run a little more timing with the tune adjusted for it

the problem is that we have Ethanol ( ethyl alcohol ) added to our gas, and we are going to solve that by adding Methanol ( methyl alcohol ) to our fuel system ...

Im confused...

Plus its sounds complicated

The spray richens and cools the mixture going into the engine. It is supposed to slow the combustion and stuff. One thing is our big salad bowl intakes are designed to be dry. So when you force wet things through them it may puddle and have poor suspension and distribution to the cylinders.

In gasoline engines, as with any intercooler, this suppresses detonation so more power producing boost and timing can be utilized. Water, with its high latent heat of vaporization cools the intake charge and combustion. Methanol cools the charge and combustion but also acts like an extremely high octane fuel (some researchers claim as high as 120 octane) as well as adding more oxygen to combustion.

That who I'm getting mine from. But I'll be running de-natured alky from home crapo. ( easy to find.)

And as far as alky pooling. I guess if there is enough dumped at once it could do that. I figured with all the air velocity and churning going through the blower it would evaporate before it would pool up. And the tank I'm rebuilding. (I bought it on NLOC.) It will hold over 2 gallons of alky and water. And I just fixed it so I can still run my windshield squirter's too. And cool the water for the I.C. I'll post up some pic's if any one is interested.

Nitrous as the oxidizer ...woohooo :burnout::burnout:

We ran propane and NX on our Yellow Zo6 and made 730hp and 815tq on stock discplacement. It would run high 9's through a 6spd. Our best 60' was 1.41 abouts.

Yep, the best kit out there for the Vipers is a propane/nitrous kit, pretty simple kit and huge gains.

OK here ya go.

I drilled the hole for the windshield washer pump. I'll drill the one for the alky kit when I get it.
I wounder how long it will take for the water/alky to eat up the windshield washer system?

I had to cut the corner because I could not get it to fit in the truck right. Then i figured out I had to move the battery back to the fire wall 2 inches. Oh well, it made it easy to get the other stuff done.
