Default Anyone using FJO Racing's Water/Methanol Injection Setup?

I just ordered one from HorsepowerFreaks. I really like the FJO software (you can map your alky injection just like a fuel map and it plugs into my FJO wideband controller) and control, and the fact that it is solenoid controlled rather than just turning on and off the pump.

It is fully meth-rated, or you can use any blend of water & meth, or denatured alcohol, as long as you tune for it. I haven't decided what to use yet - probably 50/50.

I am mostly adding this to my Vortech T-trim 383 as an insurance setup for hot days, dyno or track use. I currently get no knock with a 9.6:1 CR, max 7.5# boost and large FMIC, but that's with the S-trim that's coming off this weekend. I hope to get around 10-12# with the T.

I'm curious if anyone else has experience with this setup.

Thanks,

Jim

How much was the FJO? They really have some nice electronics.

They make you buy everything separate, and I got it from their dealer with:

2 qt. tank
pump
controller w/software and serial cable
solenoid/nozzle
install kit
SS meth/water filter

I think it was $816 including $32 shipping. I can check tomorrow. I think after reading the manual I'm going to spring for the fluid pressure transducer for monitoring and datalogging the alky pressure. You can set an alarm to go off if you run out of fluid, too. All adjustable. It can run 2 different stages of alky too, but I probably won't need that. There's also a cable you can buy that connects the alky ctrlr. to the wideband and powers the alky ctrlr and passes WBO2 data. Very cool - gonna add that in too.

We installed one on ZAngel's turbo car, but haven't had the chance to go run it yet.

Ive been running one of their widebands on my car since 2002....

Top quality stuff. I can only guess their other parts are excellent quality too.

I ran one for a while on my truck. worked really nice, did not use all the options you are given. The tps input etc.
With the wideband and analyzing software you can dial your needs in perfectly. Even adjust one cell if need be.
