4. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and reliability of your water-methanol injection system. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
- Tank Mounting: Select a secure location for the 3-quart tank, ensuring it is easily accessible for refilling and away from extreme heat. Mount the tank using the provided hardware.
- Ponparen instalazioa: Mount the 300 PSI UHO pump in a location that is protected from road debris and heat, preferably below the tank for gravity feed. Ensure the pump is securely fastened.
- Nozzle Placement: Install the Hypersonic Water-Methanol Nozzles into the intake tract after the intercooler and before the throttle body. Ensure proper sealing with the 4AN fittings.
- Linearen bideratzea: Route the stainless steel braided lines from the tank to the pump, and from the pump to the nozzles. Use the provided 4AN fittings for all connections. Ensure lines are secured, free from kinks, and away from moving parts or high-heat areas.
- Kontrolagailuaren kableatzea: Connect the VC-50 controller harness according to the detailed wiring diagram provided in the separate wiring supplement (not included in this general manual). This includes power, ground, boost signal, and pump connections. The controller allows for adjustable boost-activated progressive water-methanol delivery.
- Maila-sentsorea: Install the self-sealing level sensor into the tank and connect it to the controller for low-level monitoring.
