Default Re: Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Install Photos

ordered a base alcohol injection kit from www.alcohol-injection.com "Devils Own", and installed that as well. its recommended to install post intercooler and post MAF, so i chose to go right up top and since it was all sexy nickel and anodized aluminum anyways, it'd look good. and boy was i right! the entire system is hidden to the untrained eye. only someone who knew the car very well would be able to instantly pick up that its alcohol injected too. the pump is hidden, bolted to the right front wheel well in that nice little cubby hole, while the tank is just above it, rather crowded i must say, but still look s pretty clean. install was a breeze with the hardest part being the "where do i get an ignition hot wire? i personally would purchase a low fluid level switch and have it auto shut off when low, but it doesnt come with the kit. i beleive something of that nature is already offered on theyre website.


*shot of most of the engine bay, the only noticable thing is the small piece of plumbing near my MAF/throttle body*


*closer shot of the check valve (chrome) and 90* fitting (black), they screw into the nozzle which is on the inside of the black peice of plastic.*


*the bright white tank is the alcohol tank, the brass valve with black button and white top part is the adjustable boost activated switch. i tried to cover up the wiring as best i could.*


*as you can see, i kept the alcohol away from anything hot- anything. even the radiator, fuel lines, etc etc, doesnt matter, i want it as cool as possible before it gets atomized. the shiny black tubing is located on the very bottom, very front of bumper*
