Im getting ready to buy a kit now that the tax return came in
Ive been doing some research and i want to max my turbo (r-85) which should be around 27psi so ill be using alot of alky.
My question is about the pumps. Alky control says their pump is rated at 250psi and cooling mist is rated at 150psi even the snow performance stage 3 is rated at 250psi so is the 100 extra psi needed? will the cooling mist pump be able to flow enough for what i want?

 

Shurlo makes 150 PSI max pumps. Anyone that advertises more than that are modifying the pump and the life will be short. You can do over 250 PSI with ours as well. Here is a video with our pump doing over 300. It shortens the life of the pump if you choose to bypass the switch. Our diesel kits flow upto 22 GPH with that pump.

This isnt going to be used every day I only plan on using it for the occasional track day or some spirited driving. I just want to know that the pump will not hold me back when I turn the boost up as high as this turbo can flow and I dont want to be the one to modify the pump if you guys can make me a kit with the pump that can flow that much that would be great

 

I personally recommend speaking to Julio Don at Alkycontrol.com and find out more information about his kit.

As far as flow is concerned, I wouldn't allow yourself to get hung-up on flow numbers or GPH ratings or the like. There's some basics that need to be addressed and set in stone (gasoline to alcohol ratio, mass/air flow of the turbocharger with respect to the amount of power you wish to make, target air/fuel ratio at your desired gas/alcohol ratio, etc.) prior to getting into the specifics.

As an example, on my Turbo II, I used a single M15 (15gph @ 100psi back-end pressure) nozzle with system pressures at just over 200psi to achieve a 440rwhp mark with a 65/35-70/30 ratio of gasoline to alcohol with air-fuel ratios at 11 flat:1. The nozzle was maxxed out. I like to therefore say that with our cars, we ought to stick to an M15 for 400rwhp and under or upgrade to twin M10's for anything over that power-wise.

Call us at 888-MORE-HPW. Remember we have a life time warranty as well. I know our kit has atleast 1 500 HP member on this board.

Thanks!
