Ok fellas I guess I can't get around it, I think I am going to have to run some type of alky injection. In you guys opinion's, what are the pro's and con's of the different kit's available ( Alky Control, M.P.F.E. Aquamist, Turbonetics etc.) or others? We run the snow Boost Cooler's on our blower engines but I don't think that would be the way to go on the Ty. I am seriously looking at the Turbonetics kit, give me the scoop on what you guys think!

Thanks

Re: Alky Kits?

I've heard a lot have good luck with AlkyControls PAC system. I love the completeness of my kit, seems like a really good product. Still have to do some more tuning (plug gaps, fuel psi, testing voltages) to get it working right, but it seems there are a lot of guys out there goin real fast with this kit...

Re: Alky Kits?

I have AlkyControl, still tuning but don't think it's the kits fault. Kit is very complete. Instructions need a little work but the info is there. Only "complaint" I've seen is the alky tank has its low level sw and outlet at the front and under hard accelration below about 1/2 full you get a low alky warning light. Some folks have modified the system by installing the tank on the drivers side so the outlet and switch are at the rear of the tank.

Re: Alky Kits?

Ok, good in opinions. Any one else have thought's? Other brands like Aquamist etc. and the use of 100% alky. I hear that there are problems with some kit's (don't know which) running straight Meth?
Anyone?

I also have an Alkycontrol kit (thanks Campbell's Automotive). Going on pretty quickly here. Running straight METH. Lotsa turbobuicks running this same kit, and lotsa happy people. Julio is a great guy to talk to also. The progressive controller looks sweet!

Aquamist sells teflon seals so you can run 100% methanol all of the time or add a little nitro ;) , or other additives. teflon holds up against a lot of different types of chemicals. :tup:

Re: Alky Kits?

Hello, can someone please help me. I can't seem to figure out how to start a new thread. Anyhow, how would my truck respond to an N2O shot and meth used for fuel? And if this is a good idea, what pills should I use, and where to put the shark nozzle? Also, I'm more interested in the cooling properties of the N2O and Meth, so I was thinking a 35hp shot. Any suggestions, or should I sell it, and by a meth kit?

Re: Alky Kits?

It is a little hard to get seals to hold up with 100%. Just pick one that sells spare parts cause you will have to fix it from time to time, just like the rest of the truck. You can get all teflon and stainless to hold up but cost is about 4x.

Re: Alky Kits?

I just installed Razor's Alky Control kit. The quality is great. A lot of my GN friends use it and love it. Julio is very accessable and will help any way he can. I choose a custom tank that he put together for me (Outlet and low limit switch).


Pump mounted in lower fender well...

Plate cut to mount tank. Notice that i used the two existing bolts to mount plate to core
support. Once tank is mounted to plate removing these two bolts is all that is needed to remove tank...

Tank with outlet and low fluid sensor installed...

Finished tank and pump installation. Easy to fill, easy to remove, looks ok...

I will either powder coat the brackets black or make some out of aluminum and polish them. I removed the control switches and led light from the little control box and am flushing them into the dash panel where the rear wiper and rear sprayer switches were located. The activation led light and the low fluid led light are flushed into the pillar pod.

Re: Alky Kits?

I'm using snow performance's progressive kit on a Sy with very good results. Very cold / progressively decreasing MAT's and great adjustability. Currently using half subzero ww fluid plus half HEET.
...decreased motor knock a little, increased power alot.

Wow John, "looks ok"? That's a Tits install man :tup: ! Show us some pic's of your flush mount controls when you get it done and if you don't mind sharing, what did the custom tank set up cost you?

Re: Alky Kits?

Julio got it for me and did the mods to it. It's a 2 gal Jaz fuel cell. He charged me extra for it in the complete kit. I believe the whole kit was around $600 (including the tank) and a double nozzle setup.

Re: Alky Kits?

Finished the dash wiring on the alky install. I took the switches and LED out of the kit's remote box and flushed them in the dash panel where the rear wiper switches were.

Mounted and resoldered switches and LED...

Re: Alky Kits?

I mounted my alky control knob in the panel under the steering wheel. I initially elimated the instant on button and red led, but I have since add the instant turn on button (I didn't want a red led glowing down low on my dash) The other two toggle swicthes are for fan and IC pump overrides.

On the pillar pod, I have my low alky light next to my fuel pressure gauge. I have my alky pumping light next to my boost gauge, I change that Led to green (from red, I figure red was a warning, green mean go:) ) On my empty toggle switches, I have my TC lockup switch and alarm.
