ALKY Injection Gone Wrong........ WAY wrong.....
Im driving home from the Video store with the girl, and i decided to get on it.... and my fav Striaght-o-way. So i drop a Gear Hammer it.... Wait for Spoold up.... And BANG Car starts to misfire.. Goes pig rich....
Rewind a week ago....
Couple of my Guys are Putting in some new intercooler piping, Bov, Alky Kit and so other thing....
Well... Basically the noozle from the Alky kit Worked itself Lose and caused this.........
Piston Walls are fine..... Pistons arent So lucky!!!!
Piston number 4
Head on # 4
BEFORE Quick Clean up.....
AFTER is going to reveil the damage better.
Pic of the Block Awaiting my 35r and pistons and rods....
Spark Plug.... i wonder why i was misfiring so bad....
AND the Cluprit...... THIS is what Cause me ALL the Damage....
So..... If you guys are looking for an alky Kit.... Please make sure EVERYTHING IS TIGHT.... Or you would be looking at a similar Set up...

Wow dont see how the nozzle coulda gotten loose then again I threaded mine into the ic pipe as well. Glad it wasn't too bad though and as everyone always states failsafe's are the only way to go with alky if not a lot can go wrong.
Spooledyou,
Sorry to hear that bro.. I changed my nozzles a couple of times and even they were tight they were leaking(dripping methanol when spraying). Yeah, I agree, make sure everything is 100%.
Please give us more follow up on this as you fix the car. Good luck!

The way these nozle are located and installed there is no margin for error, the noozle would be sucked in into the TB and there is nothing you can do abaout it unless you use a nozzle like the NOS nozzles which can be screwed into the manifold via thread.

nah sticking 2.0.. no need for a strocker for me.....
to me a strocker is nice... but for what im going for a 2.0 in MY case is better sutied..... and i also dont feel like spending 4kPlus on a stroker kit and machine work.
^^^ I don't blame you bro. I installed mine with additional harneded hardware from Ace-hardware. I put stronger washers and much stronger rubber seals.
Pariculary speaking, those HAGO nozzles are like butter, they stripp very easily and the metal is very very soft. Be aware guys!
