    Diy alky Td style?

    Has anyone made write up on a Diy on a alky/water injection?

    The little info that I have read still has me confused, from using a washer reservoir and pump, to a all out setup. I have been thinking of trying to piece together a system for my GLH. So far I have a few pieces that i have to question. could you guys comment and possibly, better suggest how a kit comes together?

    These are my plans so far,
    stock GLH fuel pump that I plan to make a fuel cell for,
    Vw cold start valve,
    Hobbs pressure switch

    run the pump in a loop with a restrictive orifice in the return

    There are a couple sites with some good info on the subject.

    I would check out Carl's setup, as it is pretty darn sweet and has proven to be rather reliable from what I have read.

    You may want to consider a good alky safe fuel pump. When they are unused for about a month a standard fuel pump will lock up. I know this from experience.

    I can't see a cold start inj. flowing enough to justify it's use.

    My car uses the wet side of a nitrous fogger nozzle. Bonus changeable jets

    I think it's just a Shurflow with the Devilsown name on it, but I haven't been able to find one capable of that high pressure for that low of a price.

    All the shurflow pumps from the 8000 series are capable of that pressure/flow. If you do a little digging you'll see that all the pumps use the exact same parts except the regulator, and you can adjust the one on the 60psi pump to as high as you want. Thats why the price is so low on that kit, it's just a regular 8000 series 60psi pump thats been adjusted up.

    Makes sense. I wonder why the Shurflow pumps are priced different then if an adjustment is all that's needed to bring the pressure up? I guess they figure most people won't realize it and will pay the extra for the higher pressure pump if they need it?

    I can only guess, but I would assume that your right. The guys over at devils own have gone over this subject a few times one the srt forums, including pages right from the surflow parts catalog showing the common parts among the 8000 series. I'm heading off to bed, but if your interseted you can do a search over there or I'll find it some time tomorrow.

    It's all good man I believe you.
    It just irritates me that companies do stuff like that. Anything for a buck.
