Default whats the best meth kit???

Ive never played with meth/water injection before and I was wondering how the solinoids activate, are they progressive with boost pressure or do they just turn on and off or are there options to the kits? (Ive heard they hook up to a 2 bar map also.) if there are which one do I want.

Check out AlkyControl. Good customer service and a product he stands behind. I am doing very well with my kit.

I believe they started including a low pressure warning light, but you really need to call them.

I run a dual nozzle Alkycontrol kit. As mentioned above, Julio's customer support is second to none and the components are top notch.

The Alkycontrol kit has a nice progresive controller setup which will start feeding at a set MAP reading (4psi stock setup) and ramp up to your dialed in tune settings (set pump ramp rate to target boost level) that you want to use as boost increases. It can run with a 2-bar or 3-bar MAP sensor depending on the goals for you project. Julio will recommend the appropriate combination of 1 or 2 nozzles with the sizes that you need to feed your project.

The controller has a pump activity LED to monitor when the kit is on. The fuel cells have an option for low fuel warning sensor which ties into a LED with the controller that notifies you with enough time to shutdown before you run out of fuel even on a big dual nozzle setup.

I talk with Julio every Thurs night at BMP. Him and his crew(friends/customers) are always there racing their turbo buicks and Turbo TA's. They are all going really fast for their mod level as well.

Julio has spec'd out a system for me as well, just gotta get a few other miscellaneous things outta the way first, then its order time.

Julio stands behind his product, uses his product, and will do whatever it takes to make sure the customer is happy.

There are lots of kits out there, some more high tech than others, some higher priced than others... But Julio's the only one I will give my money to.

FWIW, the most high tech, high dollar kits Ive ever seen are from a European company called Aquamist... Google it and see for yourself. Those kits are computer controlled and use fuel injectors to deliver the water/meth... Talk about exotic!!

Sometimes that high zoot stuff isn't better, it's just more that can screw up!
More often than not, the KISS method works pretty well!
Julio's kit has been proven to work and you even said it yourself that he uses it on his own car. That's good enough for me!

and I third it! Julio is on the ball! I ordered some parts for a used kit that I bought on Friday and Monday they were at my house! He also sent me the instructions and a couple of other things that I wasn't sure if I needed or not, but he sent them just in case! You can't beat that!

I was just pointing out that there are more high tech kits out there that most on here have never heard of. I wouldnt buy any of them for a few reasons:
A) Too expensive
B) what kind of customer service can be expected from a co. in Europe?
C) Ive never seen any of their kits on anything

Julio will take all the time in the world to explain in detail everything he can... If he cant satisfy you with his answers and knowledge, then you cant be satisfied.

My vote has and always will go out to Julio.

fwiw, The snow kits are nice as well. No experience with them, but the ones Ive seen first hand are nice. And I like what Ive read about their new failsafe box that monitors gph and can open your bypass valve(supercharged) or control the wastegate(turbo) to lower boost in the event of a failure or drop in flow.

WOW! The same thing happened to me when I ordered some parts from him! He said that he had some matters concerning his wife, but I had No idea as to what, because it was none of my business. His Professionalism must be commended because he still handled his business even though he had some Major things going on in his life!

I'm Sincerely Sorry to hear of his loss! That must be Devastating!

GOD Bless Julio and his family and My prayers are with him!
