dual nozzle y fitting

[PaCemkr86]

Is there any downside to running this NX Y fitting vrs the T fitting that comes with the dual nozzle kit?

With time the alcohol will rot it out. :redface:

The fitting is also anodized " should help with corrosion", but ill see if i can locate a stainless one..

thanks for the heads up Julio

screw it im putting the T fitting on that came with the kit to keep things simple

i really like the way that looks. goes well with the rest of the AN fitting. How long and quick would it take to rot out? as thick as the metal is im sure it would last awhile?

pace it also looks like your missing a zip tie? and maybe a clip for the accuator?

i have a year on my NX Y fitting. it is currently in like new condition. i will keep an eye on it and consider it a maintainence item if necessary.

how much alky have you pump threw it?

On Cals car.. it clearly was eating away at the fitting. This is how I did my very first twin setup.. It starts eating away at the threads and moves into the fittings aluminum.

What can I say... what I would give for brass Y fittings

If you take the heads off the motor, dont submerge them in methanol. They will rot.

Now if you spray methanol through a nozzle into the engine while its racing, then there can be zero corrossion as the methanol is fully consumed.

You can spray methanol through an aluminum throttle boddy for years and not one issue.

The issue with the Y fitting is that its in 100% contact 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

How much would you give? I have a machinist friend looking for minor project work like this. What about a stainless one, would that be acceptable?
