has anyone put alcohol injection on a lightning. if so how did it work and where might you find one. i want one. i heard R.E.M. is gonna have some is this true?

 

easterisland has a SMC kit if im not mistaken, i hear hes pretty happy with it, 26 psi on the street on pump

 

I have driven a couple of days with the 26psi, but that is just too much heat for the KB in my opinion. It works great if you want to increase the amount of timing and run 93 octane. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how much I need to spray and what percentage of alcohol I need to use use. Alcohol will leave a residue on the plugs which is clear and shiney. I think if too much alcohol is used the plugs may need to be changed more often...
You will save mucho money on race gas if you get any type of alcohol setup.
I love this system from SMC.

 

hey leonard i spoke to in reynolds at nmra. i was wondering if u will drop me an email with your phone number so i can talk to u bout this. my email is rmclain11@hotmail.com

 

With the correct amount of alcohol, the plugs should look normal. Most of the alcohol will evaporate by the time it hits the cylinders anyway. Alcohol evaporates at a low temperature...lower than the temperatures the blower is producing.

 

Any feedback yet?

Take a look at the SMC kit.
Solenoid so mix isn't drawn into intact at cruise.
metal lines.
controller to adjust pump speed, boost turn on point, l.e.d. indicators to tell when system is on, when system is low, and when system is pumping.

I'm sure any kit will work and they are easy to make something which will work...

 

Net Gen. Motorsports is coming out with a custom SMC kit specificlly for a Lightning. email me for details.

 

What is specific about it that it is made just for the Lightning? All the system is, is a reservoir (holding tank), controller, pump, injection lines, and a nozzle.

 

Can some one here tell me what if any programing changes to the chip will need to be made for this system?


Thanks,

Rocks

 

Uses a factory Lightning washer resevoir with built in float and switch and an indicator lamp that tells you when fluid is low.

 

Sounds like the kit SMC made for me...

 

 

I was talking to one of the tuners (guess I shouldn't post his name without the ok) about water/alcohol injection, and he said he was going to work on a kit for our trucks over the winter. It would be nice to have one with all considerations (chip tune, etc) included. If I find out more, I will post.

Thanks for the info. I am guessing that this means the tune has to be set up for the water/alcohol injection.

Keep us updated on what you learn.
