can i run the methanol without tuneing?
i just installed alky kit today. and i wanna try out to see if its working correctly..
but im afraid to do so, cause i havent got tune it yet for alky kit...
let me have some feedback please!

 

It will run ridiculously rich but will work till your tuned.

 

You can run it without tune but you'll be running very rich. Just look and see if the light under the word spray comes on. If it does it's working but you should check it according to SMC's specs. Rev car to like 3k and push the button on the controller to spray manually (car will choke and stumble like it's going to die, may also cause the check engine light to come on) and have someone look at the pressure gauge to see if it's pushing 100+psi after that, you're good to go for your tune.

 

Without a tune, try running just plain water injection. It will help cool the charge off conciderably.
The Alky will make it bog if running too rich. From the factory they run low 10:1 A/F ratio. You will just make it worse

 

this is going to be 2nd tune by dynoflash..
running rich means i cant go wrong . i ll try out tomorrow, cant wait ~

one more Q,,,can i try 100% alcohol for just now? and switch to methanol later when im ready to get tune? thanks for the feedback

 

After you test it. Pull the fuse off on the alky kit and drive it to where ever you need to go to get it tune. Remember to plug the fuse back in for the tune.

 

I personally wouldn't do that. It's going to be alot of hassel to purge all the remaining alcohol that's left and fill with meth. If you were doing that, you'll have to detach the connection at the nozzle and push the manual button to purge it all out of the system. I don't know what the effects would be if you still have some alcohol left and add meth. It's better to stick to just one substance.

 

By saying alky and methanol do you mean ethanol and then methanol

 

Alky is denature alcohol

 

Denatured is ethanol with a percentage of methanol
Just out of curiousity why don't you run denatured?

 

everyone here says methanol gives u most power ,,, but methanol is hard to get... so im thinking of getting alcohol from home depot, and test it out....

 

can i safely turn up the boost from 21 to 25psi while running alcohol with no tune?

 

You are correct.

 

You're not going to benefit much from doing that without the tune. Be patient, you don't want to end up breaking something before the tune.

 

your car will just run really rich and perform poorly.
