Water/Alcohol injection Turbo Diesel use

[TheGreenThing]

Does anyone know where to buy extra bung for the nozzle?

Finally, I was able to replace the top cover of the pump. However, leaks are present at the sending end of the pump as well as on one side of the pump, between the top cover and the pump body. Screws are already tight but the leak is not eliminated. Is it advisable that I apply a thin coating of silicone RTV on the bottom part of the pump cover to avoid leaks?

Boss, why dont you have your pump warrantied?

Or buy a new pump from berrima?

I already informed Berrima of my problem before. They said they will email Devilsown and ask on what to do on my pump. Actually, I am asking them to replace the whole motor since it's only 2 weeks old. However, I ended up buying a new top pump cover and was able to replace it last night since they haven't giving me a feedback to my problem yet.

I hope Doc can see this. The system has been idle for almost a month already.

Update on my problem

I removed the top pump cover again to check if there's a crack that causes the leak. Fortunately, none present. So most probably is that the screws were under tightened. So I re-seat again the cover and make it sure that the screws are very tight. Also, I cut again the sending hose. Tested it again and no leaks are present.

Up ko lang itong thread nato.. driving under the influenced of alcohol..

I'm a newbie in this forum and happily stumbled to this thread. I took the opportunity to read this thread from Page 1 to 49 last Holy week and I learned a lot. Thanks to everyone who have shared their valuable insights and experiences.

Currently, I'm driving a Ford Everest 2005 4x2 and quite happy with it for the last 9 years. I have upgraded the stock FMIC to a bigger one (came from an Evo VIII donor) if I'm not mistaken. Installed a boost gauge to monitor my boost which is at .75 Bar (10.87 PSI) on max boost. 2nd upgrade was the replacement of stock air filter to a KNN drop in filter. My soon 3rd upgrade is to install a Pyrometer or EGT gauge to monitor my exhaust gas at Pre-Turbo. Since this gauges are hard to find in the Philippines, I might as well source it in the US including a boost gauge that is on PSI. I will be in Vegas and SanFo this 1st and 2nd week of May. Shop suggestions on these areas are very much welcome.

Because of this thread, I'm now contemplating on WAI stage 2. I plan to have a stainless tank fabricated that can hold 30 liters of WA. It can be bolted at the rear under chassis of my SUV. I have listed below the challenges in this project I hope to hear other tsikoters for their valuable suggestion/s.

1) I would like to install an analog fuel gauge in my WAI tank to monitor my juice and I would like to ask if I could use the Devil's own float and connect it to my gauge?

2) If I cannot use the Devil's own tank float, can I use a surplus fuel tank float mechanism, which came from a gas tank? Will the Water - Methanol be compatible with it?

3) On the EGT gauge installation, I heard it was pretty challenging to install as we need to ensure that the probe won't break as not to affect the Turbo. I plan to install it Pre-turbo to have an accurate read and I plan to bring it to Berrima. Just would like to ask if anyone has done it with Berrima for the installation? An EGT gauge brand and an installation shop in Manila suggestions are highly appreciated.

Looking forward to the responses of fellow tsikoters and special thanks to DVLDOC for sharing lots of valuable information.

Regards,

Sorry double post.

Hi Carlo,

Yung float switch ng devil's own ay "on" or "off" lang at hindi sya progressive or gradual. Sa akin, naka connect ang float switch sa L.E.D. bulb. Once, nag on and bulb ay alam ko na paubos na ang water/alcohol na nasa tangke.

HTH.

Kinda unreliable.
After using this kit for 15000km
Heres what happened. May be I should have just opted for a full exhaust

So is the power benefit worth it? Thinking of doing a unichip/devils own alochol combo for my LC200

Im kinda not into chips but id rather spend my money on a full exhaust from turbo to muffler

But in terms of power, alcohol is the way to go. Once the kit starts, you can really feel the smoothness of the engine. My diesel is a manual vnt fortuner (stock ECU)

Tried lambanog (clear). Since i ran out of alco, I picked up a 6-liter bottle along the way from Quezon to MLA. Had a lot of left overs on the tank and I didn't use for some weeks.

Power-wise, it's does boost. On the downside, it did introduce clogging on the tubings, esp dun sa red filters. Maybe alco has some sediments. Can be cleaned but hassle lang talaga.

Kung one-time use, straight up, baka walang precipation or whatever that caused clogging.

FYI.

sorry to hear. scary.

my own setup is basic: pump, tubings, and nozzle. I keep all control to myself via manual switches. FIRE-at-WILL so to speak.

and in my experience, city driving doesn't require much of AI use given the heavy traffic. walang rectahan where it is of great benefit.

Pwede din yata (experts chime in pls). More importantly, check that your turbo system can take in (and how much) the extra boost/pressure. alam ko kasi may mga limitations din dyan.

Pano mag cleaning ng hoses and filter? My WAI stopped working.

Sir, if I may ask, where did you have your WAI installed? And could you pls post pics of your setup? Interested to know how the manual set up is done. I agree with you that city driving does not require much of AI. Especially now with all the roadworks...

TIA

sorry to see that, mine will almost reach 80K kms / 3 years of use so far ok pa din, only problems I had are with the push to connect fittings (mechanic during the timing belt replacement pulled it) easily replaced with new ones. BTW the filter in the nozzle had some white deposits ( used only 50/50 methanol and distilled water with occasional purified water) and was cleaned with pressurized air. Still happy with kit
