I just purchased razor's alkycontrol kit. I realize I'll need a new chip cut, and I'm working on that right now. I'm new to this alcohol thing and I'm not sure if I'll need new injectors. I've got 36#'ers on there right now. I hope to turn the boost up to 22-25. I don't want to purchase new injectors unless it's necessary, so please don't just say 'get 60 motron's'. If I need them I'll get them....If I don't I won't. Thanks...
Purchased alkycontrol, do I need larger injectors?

it all depends on how fast you want to run..... there are a "million" factors...
but remember Alky is also a fuel so, you kinda ARE adding another injector as well as cooling the intake charge... I wouldnt say turn it up all the way and let er rip... but it is possible to run higher boost w/o upgrading your 36#ers... how much boost...every car is different
You must weigh on the efficiency of your turbo/heads,timing, chip tune, ambient air, i/c efficiency, and probably other factors i am forgetting.... but there is one thing i guarantee.... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!! and once you go alky you never look back.....:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

YES! Read this disaster of a post, and the last entry....cam sensor....who'da thunk?
you should be ok alky cuts your duty cycle 25% i would not get another chip for alky the only difference is the base timing is 23/21 not 20/18 and the alky chip is leaner. i run this chip and noticed no difference i just bump my timing to 27/24 and run 25 psi. if you have erics street chip i would set timing to 23/21 and tune from there. i got 42's and i had to take 10% out of first gear and 5% out of all gears so with 36's you should be ok
You need to monitor injector duty cycle to see where your at. This can be done with a direct scan or power logger. If your running the injectors at 100%.. then you need bigger injectors.
I dont think based on what you have you'll need bigger. Probably until the car is probably running low 11's or upper 10's.
