I just got my alky kit, the Devils Own brand. I got the universal kit. I can not get the kit to activate via the hobbs switch. It comes with an adjustible hobbs switch that activates between 6-30psi. I have it hooked up as the directions describe. http://www.alcohol-injection.com/viewinfo/instructions-7.html

My kit is the Base Alcohol kit, second link

40amp relay;
30 to 12 positive with fuse
87 to the pump
86 to the 12 accessory key on side of the fuse box
85 to the NO on the hobbs switch
&
the Com on the hobbs switch to ground.

Exaclty how the directions tell me to set up the system.

Ive not tapped my intercooler as I wanted to make sure the kit worked.

I ran the hose outside my ty so I could see the water being activated.
I ran the red to positive and black to ground and the pump works great.

I took the wire that goes from terminal 85 and grounded it and the pump comes on. So it must be the hobbs setup.

Any ideas or experience with adjustible hobbs switches? I do plan on upgrading my akly injection to the pac alky controller nexy year, but for now, I just want a basic kit. I'm saving my cash for a larger turbo and tuning software....ostrich.:tup:

I did not tap the intercooler. I ran the discharge hose to my windshield, then ran the truck. I had the discharge hose in plain site and nothing has come on. If I ground terminal 85, it flows like a river.

What happens if you connect 85 to NC on the hobbs switch?
Really you need a DVM (digital volt meter) & a regulated air source to test the hobbs switch out.

Re: Alky wiring

check the hobbs. take shop air and hook it up to the hobbs... use a regulator to turn up the pressure until the hobbs triggers and the pump starts flowing.. thats the only way to know what psi the hobbs is set or if it is broken (you obvioulsy need to have a gauge hooked up in line)

Re: Alky wiring

When in doubt call the manufacture and let them help you out after all they did design the kit. Good luck.

Re: Alky wiring

Got my alky kit running perfect! No knock @ 21psi on the BA3barE chip! I"m running pure akly with 94 octane fuel. I need to do some runs with a 50/50 mix.

Thank you all for your help!
