Greetings. The Devilsown progressive alcohol kit has tickled my fancy and I plan on a purchase soon. I hate to bother ya'll with questions, but as my car is a bit atypical to what the kit usually goes on, I would like some feedback on a few things to be put on the right track. I'll try my best to explain things. Here goes: Car- '74 vw beetle Engine- Mild 1915cc with a small t04 drawing through a 575cfm Barry Grant Demon vacuum sec. carb. It currently revs to about 6200 and is at 8psi on 93. When I say draw through, I am referring to the fact that the carb is placed before the turbo compressor and the air/fuel mix goes through the comp. Here is a description of the setup: Carb- intake-compressor-intake which tees off to end castings- heads. Now for the questions: 1. Which would I be better off with? A single m3 nozzle on the intake directly after the comp. outlet, or, dual m2 nozzles on the intake AFTER it tees off to the heads? Am I correct in assuming that the single m3 would be better as it is closer to the compressor outlet? I suppose that I do'nt need to worry about each cylinder bank getting a different volume of meth if the psi is adequate. 2. Is the check valve capable of handling the vacuum of the draw-through setup as it is essentially the same as a n/a engine off boost? 3. I take it that I'll be ordering a 2 bar map sensor when I get the kit. Where is a better place to reference boost to the sensor: From the (post comp)intake to the boost controller(hallman mbc)? Or, from the mbc to the wastegate(jgs 40mm external)? Does it matter? Currently, a small hose goes to each of these locations. I take it I would tee it off to the sensor? 4. The instructions state that the grey wire to the sensor is used for cars without a factory map. Where does this go? To the controller? I'm not very bright when it comes to electrical matters .5. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide the dimensions of the 2 and 4 qt tanks for fitment reasons. Everyone's time is appreciated. I will be happy to answer any further questions if more elaboration is needed. Let me know if you foresee any additional problems. Unfortunetly, I wo'nt be able to test the kit out until about March or so(draw-through setups do'nt take kindly to cold weather), but I would like to get the kit installed now and everything squared away and ready. I am hoping for 12-14 psi on pump injecting straight methanol . I will be tuning the afr using a lm1. Thanks again.

I would go with the single m3 nozzle. You will have proper distrubition with it this way. check valve will work fine for your app It honesty does not matter, as long as its a good boost ref source. Both will work Map sensors are a 5v item. Our controller grey wire is a 5v output wire that you will use to power it. So its grey wire to grey wire, green to green and black to ground when wireing up the controller to the map sensor. 2qt is Dimensions are 6" x 8 1/2" x 4 1/2". 4qt is Dimensions are 10" x 8 1/2" x 4 1/4". |
