This means the front cylinders isn't getting as much alky as the rear ones. Does one of those plates come with the kit? 
Well somehow Julio thought of that and installed a switch called "On/Off" so you could actually turn off the $5 a gallon expensive methanol injection system and run you 8-15 lbs of boost.... or you could makes adjustments so it doesnt spray untill a certain boost level, and you could control how much alky it sprays at what boost level. Thus increasing the alky as boost increases. But alky does have a few draw backs no one really mentions.
For example. You are able to run more boost (around 18-25lbs) which means you will probly waste more gas too and increase the chance of getting speeding tickets. That sucks!
Also it causes excessive smoke and noise coming from the rear end when accelerating hard. I think it comes from the tires breaking loose all the time but I have yet to prove it.
Another thing (might be related) is the rear tires wear out a whole lot faster than before. Im guessing cause the added weight of the alky system but Im just speculating.
Last, just like drugs, its addicting. The more you hit the gas and the more you want to do it over, and over again. It freakin sucks! Then when you accidently install a BstC Boost controller and run as much boost from the seat of your car as your want, forget about it. Makes you not want to drive the car anymore!
Installing alky, worst decision I ever made!....... did I mention I might be dislexic?....
Dude dont get alky! Let the rest of us have all the fun!
Add more 93 if its lean at high boost? I thought you wanted to get rid of the low octane and replace it with a higher octane fuel to eliminate knock? How does the alcohol burning engines even run if it isn't a fuel? Not a trick question just wondering....really.
If alkys main function is to cool the air, I'm also wondering why you can't run 26-28psi on 93 without alky if the air entering the engine is below 50* . When it's damn cold outside...like in the 20's...I have seen temps below 50* for a couple seconds when at WOT at 25psi of boost. That's plenty of time to get knock retard on straight 93. In very cold climates does this mean alky isn't needed with 93? Anyone done any testing to see if knock occurs? Also, any test results on how cold the air entering the engine actually is when spraying alky? I don't think you can accurately measure the temp since the alky would get on the temp sensor and skew the readings. Again, not a trick question just wondering....really.
One other thing, does every person running alky have a air distribution plate under the plenum to help spread the alky to each cylinder since the factory intake have problems sending equal amounts of air to each cylinder? How do you know if the front two cylinders isn't getting any knock? That knock sensor is at the rear of the engine. I thought the alky follows the airflow of the intake and more goes to the rear cylinders and not as much goes to the front.
I'm not knit picking or trying to get a flame feast going about alky so please... legit answers. I'd like to know.
Not to confuse you but alky is used a little as fuel...my injectors with alky run about 70% DC.
I bought 5 gallons of 116 back in October 2006. I still have about a gallon and a half left in my tank. That means you are spending waayyy more money than me on fuel...so HA!:tongue: I'm going to replace it since it might be stale now...
Of course, you probably run the **** outta your car more than me.
But 3 gallons of 116 every 6 months is very race fuel efficent. Let's see some pics of that duel system.How can you say something I didnt say, is not true? I didnt say you need an alky chip. I said you need an adjustable chip...well, you dont "need" but it makes a hell of alot more sense. You dont need to pull the running board out, the kick panel, pull the cover off, change the chip and put it all back together, every time you change something. If your chip is adjustable, it doesnt matter if you have alky or dont. You can tune to whatever you want on the fly.
I’m going to call my local track and find out if there is a local alky dealer, if so I will order the alky kit and the booster plate. Let the fun begin!
I thought I was saving from not buying race gas.
