I'm looking to see if anyone has any tips on mounting Alkycontrol Pump. I put it on the shelf just like the instructuons and the walkthrough below. The front of the pump hits the wheel well. It looks like it should be mounted about an inch or so higher than the shelf to clear the wheel well. I don't have the Vacuum ball either.

Does anyone have any pics or suggestions on mounting the pump?
Thanks,

I have mounted them upside down to the bottom of the battery tray also under the wheel well in the front with a cover, just get creative

I machined 4 spacers out of 3/4" aluminum bar stock (2 were 2" and the other 2 were 2.3") to raise the mounting height of the pump up and angle the motor side up. If you read the last few pages of the tips section, Julio states that if the motor is lower than the head of the pump, water will collect in the sleeve and ruin the motor. I also removed the fenderwell and used a bean bag and hammer to make a "bowl" to clear the pump head.

Sean, do you still have your charcoal canister? If not, that's a prime piece of real estate for a pump :tup: Nice clean and out of the way.

Quickstop, I don't have the documents that came with the kit in front of me at the moment. Let me check when I get home and I will post up where to find it.

Re: Alky Pump Mounting

Ok, with the installation booklet I received as part of the recent GP there are 3 sections all stapled together. The first is the parts checklist and SyTy instructions, the second is the PAC booklet, and the third is only 4 pages and has diagrams of the MAP sensor, float, and nozzle.

The front page of the third booklet states (under the Alky Control logo)

"Alky Pump install
Important notes... Do Not Mount pump with head facing upwards as this will allow water to collect inside sleeve and ruin motor. Please install as pictured, It can also be installed horizontally as long as the pitch does not allow water to collect in sleeve."

Re: Alky Pump Mounting

I decided to mount the pump under the battery tray. It's a nice and clean install without interfering with anything. I had my battery lowered with my Odessey battery a while back for my intake and it still has room. Still have all the wiring to do...
