Anyone fabbed up their own alky kits?

What all do you need to accomplish this? The alcohol has to be injected at a fuel injector type pressure right (@ 45 psi) right? SO this would mean using a fuel pump out of an EFI car correct? What about using nitrous nozzles for the spray?I was thinking of using the washer fluuid resevoir for a tank. Does alcohol have any adverse effect on your paint (say if I actually wanted to use the wiper spray)?

The EFI pumps were not designed to run alky, will break down after a while, same for the injectors. As for using your washer tank as dual purpose----NO

I say if you have an autozone near you, buy the e-2000 pump which has a lifetime warranty. Take it back when it fails and you are all set. Only conceivable problem is it failing in the middle of a run...

Care to elaborate as to why not washer tank? Eats paint? I thought I read somewhere that some guy used a pump from a late 70s Ford pickup or something. Strike a bell?

I think Lee just meant not to use the WW tank as "dual purpose". I'd hate to be the guy behind you on a Motorcycle smoking a cigarette or something when you squirt flammable liquid out and over your car!

No, the alky won't hurt your paint... I've had, ummm, occasion to, er, "test" this (oops!). Would imagine it strips the wax and stuff off nicely, though!

I use the pump mentioned above and the WW tank as the reservoir. Even add a little blue food coloring to the alky to be more "stealthy". I am using NOS nozzles (two) on my GN, but they are hard to tune. Couldn't get the amount of alky my WE4 required to atomize properly through it's NOS nozzles, so I converted over to SMC alky kit equipment. All I can say is WOW! I have since ordered some for my GN!
