Three quick alky install Q's

[Don W.]

Really scratching my head on the nozzle location. Haven't done it yet but thinking of the bottom of the IC, TB side, on the little 45 degree area between the where the hose goes and the flat bottom. This would aim the nozzle back toward the actual IC and into the air flow. My thinking is that, when spraying, there is so much air flow the alky won't hit the IC and all should be well. And even if it did hit the IC I don't think it would matter much.

Thoughts?

Second Q; once installed what do I pour into this thing. Single malt, Jack Daniels, what? Seriously, I've been kinda lookin and haven't found anything. You'd think the directions would say but noooo...

Pump location. Since I usually leave out the pas wheel well (takes some of the work out of a plug check) I'm thinking of the shelf behind and under the headlight? It'll just fit if I modify the plumbing a tad.

Re: Three quick alky install Q's

1. I've heard it's best to position the nozzle on the lower side if possible; keeping the alky from continuing to drizzle out after you've let off.
2. There are a bunch of options out there. I've heard of Heet, etc. mixed with some Klotz lube. I want to run straight Methanol once I get my system all in. I'm assuming you don't need to add anything to that with Razor's alky system? Maybe someone else could chime in there.
3. Jeremy has a great pump location on his truck, worked out perfectly. It's right behind his bumper on the pass. side. It's pretty much way in that corner where there is a flat spot of chassis, but will be close to the fog light. He has a pic of his posted in my last thread. I plan to put mine right where his is.

I've heard the same about the nozzle placement.. but i've heard it's not a sure thing to have driving from the nozzle but it could occur.

Since im about to do this install myself i've been researching and asking questions as wella bout this and Razor (Julio) informed me that with his kit (www.alkycontrol.com) you don't have to run any kind of kotz lube.. the pump can handle striaght meth so that's what im planning on doing with my setup.

I also plan to mount my pump below the where the battery tray used to be by the fog.. it's out of the way and lower then the overflow.

1. I have a custom setup so not too sure what works best on factory placements.
2. I run 100% Methanol.
3. See #1

Re: Three quick alky install Q's

nozzle location.

pump location.

meth is good but hard to find, I run straight denatured alky in my customers trucks and it works like a champ.

I use straight methanol with Razor's kit. I got tired of buying HEET for a dollar a bottle, so I went and bought a 55 gallon drum of meth for 120 bucks...not bad. : )

Re: Three quick alky install Q's

Cool, Thanks for the idea's and the pics. Intend to post some project photos myself when it's done. And I tracked down the thread on the pump location. Hmmm, we'll see. But thanks. Will post final results.

Re: Three quick alky install Q's

I use the Klotz to protect the pump, prevent rust, and lubricate the valves and cylinders when spraying. Maybe it works, maybe not...but it can't hurt. I use SLX denatured alky from the hardware store and mix in a couple capfuls of the Klotz and shake it up real well before filling the tank. It'll have a slight reddish tint once you mix the lube in. I also add a little Marvel's Mystery Oil to the fuel tank when mixing Xylene with 91. Let us know what works for you.
