Alcohol Injection DIY kit

N/A alcohol injection kit

Can anybody identify all the hardware that comes with this kit. I cant make out what they are in the small picture. I know the pump is a 100 PSI Shurflo pump that can be had for around $50-$60. I want to piece this together for a N/A 2.4.. I know they have some special made checkvalve ($20) in there but all the other small parts have to be under $40. If we had a detailed list of what to get and where to get it here this will save at least $100 off this and also the shipping price. There are pages for DIY kits all over the web but none for a N/A engine like this kit. Everybody in here should have this setup in their car whether boosted or N/A..

Check these out too.
better gas mileage

Why would you need alcohol injection on a N/A car?

Pump
Relay + harness
Siliniod
Nozzle
Extra wire
Switch
brass fittings
Zip Ties
Fuse
Hose Clamps
Wire Connectors
Maybe Boost activated switch?

Looks like thats about it.

Alky would work good on a High Compression engine...... not sure what kind of gains could be had on a stock motor.

you dont need that solinoid. just get the coolingmist.com check vavle. That is what came with my kit. It is better then the sollidnooid(forget how to spell it) is what the guy tells me.

When i tested my set up( half set up for now) it sprays fast. U ground the boost switch and then u hear the relay click and pump comes on and it sprays. Real fast acting so to speak.

I mounted my tank in the trunk along with the pump. I got the kit off coolingmist.com from e bay. I tried to find some parts locally as i wanted to piece together a kit, but some stuff i couldnt find. So u will have to order some stuff online.

good luck

Screw alky injection, use Acetone, 4oz per 10 gallons of gas.

Thanks Brian Jake and Abe. What I'm really looking for is a shopping list of exactly the parts shown, where to get it them and how much. The one from the GTP site is OK but once this N/A kit shown here from Coolingmist is dissected down to every single part I'd like to have a "shopping list" like the GTP site for all us on here. I know the alcohol injection increases octane allowing for more boost without knock but I hear more and more about the advantages of this for all engines in general. If I understand this right do you use a vacuum switch to activate the system to spray at a certain PSI? Is the vacuum switch adjustable so it can activate on WOT? See, all the DIY kits contain info on installing in turbo cars usually so is it as easy as having the same kit that clubgp has and just put that vacuum switch in there? Oh yeah on that link you put up Jake you have to remove the equal sign and last nine numbers for that link to work.

Lawnmowerracer is that acetone mix safe for sensors? I tried that with xylene in my old work truck (1 gal) and it ran like new.
