I know some of you turbo guys are playing with alcohol/water injection right now. Who makes the kits you are using and how has your performance been with it.

I'm trying to avoid race gas at all cost.....I want to know how its been working for people.

Thanks,

:)
 
Visit the alcohol section and do a search to your hearts content. This will probably be moved due to "TurboBuick tech only".
 
anyone?

Well, since no one else is chiming in.......
I'm running a Joe Tripod Dual stage kit that is coated for methanol. Of course.... you've seen it! It is a deadhead system that only comes on when activated by boost sensing Hobbs switches. First stage comes on at 5psi with a .014 jet to handle the high timing and part throttle detonation, second stage comes on at 15psi with an .025 jet. I currently run 26* timing and 23psi with no problem. You can check out Joe's kits at http://myweb.servtech.com/~racerx/kits/
He's a great guy and gives lots of help over the phone.
A lot of people run the SMC kit. It's nice because it has a control box and is pretty much "plug'n'play". He now has a dual nozzle kit out, but it is not staged. It just has the capability to spray twice the alky as his regular kit. He's a super guys and a lot of guys like his kit. I've noticed a lot of guys at the Corral trying his kit. I know Jeremy said he wanted the SMC kit for his twin project, but people have experienced part throttle detonation b/c it only has one turn on point...... that's what I like about the staged kits. If you do a search on SMC alky, I'm sure you can find the link to the website so you can read up on his kits to. Since you're dealing with a blower and less boost, the single stage would probably be enough. I think the SMC control box is pretty gaudy, and the tank isn't as nice as Tripodi's..... but Steve's kit is cheaper, and it sells well. Although, you can get a single stage Tripodi kit, too........
Choices, choices ;)
Most people will tell you to run straight denatured, which is what I do. Methanol is even better, but hard to come by. If I can find some Meth, I'll probably mix in 10-20% water for the octane rating and safety reasons. When running straight denatured, don't forget to add a little WD-40 to every tank-full.
