Do those water/alky systems take up much room (w/ the tank) under the hood? Are they real difficult to install?

Mine doesn't take up much space, the tank is a 2 quart bottle and the pump is in that, the controller is about the size of a radar detector and mounts inside the car. Goto SMC's website for more info: http://www.smcenterprises.com/injector_kit.htm
Install was very simple. Steve, the owner of SMC is very nice and extremely helpful too.

Don't the injectors go static at about 80 #s?

I think your right on the injector's going static at 80.

The alcohol injector doesn't take up much room at all, mine is completely hidden. I am damn glad to have it too.

I just got my kb car started over the weekend, and i'll probably have it out driving this week.

Where do you two guys have the injection spraying into the system? I saw one setup w/ it being shot into the intake side of the by-pass before the air enters the blower.

Another question I've came across when running the car...after getting on it hard I'll hear a schreech or kinda like a belt squeeling (like when you first a car that could use some belt dressing). Is that from the time the throttle closes and the by-pass opens?

To answer your first question, I am currently spraying my alky just before the throttle body but am getting ready to try it just before the blower (in the inlet side of the blower) and just after (in the discharge). I have heard some folks have had great results with both of these locations. The theory goes that spraying in the tube before the TB may cause some of the liquid to puddle, where as spraying in the direction of the air flow such as in the inlet side of the blower makes for much better atomization.

I have been fighting belt slipage for a while now. I have tried diferant brands of belts tripple checked everything, including new tensioner, cleaning the belts and pullies, bigger crank pulley, belt dressing (that didn't do anything but make a big mess on the underside of my hood) and so far nothing has really helped. I had give some thought to trying VHT tire treatment on the belt but hadn't gotten around to it, when low and behold the newest MM &FF issue has an article on a blown car they installed the Snow alky kit on and had belt slippage and they used VHT on the belt to cure the problem!!! I had also looked into Mc Clure Racing's stuff (Insta-Boost Belt Treatment) but they want $20 for a little 4 ounce bottle of it and THEN $10 for shipping!!! I can get a whole gallon of VHT for $30. So that is what I am going to try. :cool:

Let me know how things go for you.

i have mine spraying just ahead of the t-body, which on a kenne-bell is also ahead of the blower. finally got it running last sunday.

stangGT95 06-01-2004 09:07 PM

I got the MM&FF issue and read the article I think I might go that way a little down the road. Did that article say how to get the VHT? I noticed belt dust started to show up in the engine bay. Would notching the pulley help or just !@?% things up?
