Default Alky nozzle question...............

When installing an AlkyControl/ECS alky kit, what is the best position for the nozzle on a single nozzle system?

Is it better to put it at 6 or 9 o' clock, or more towards 11 or 1?

Thanks in advance for the help!

As high as possible. 11 or 1 is the typical.

Rob here is a picture of mine. My car is almost finished except that I am having problems with my brand new Racetronix fuel pump. Joe will swap it out with a brand new stock pump next weekend and then Oak and Joe will button up the things. I will keep you updated.



P.S How loud is your blower? They fired my car up and the blower being V2 was still pretty loud. It quiet down after a few seconds and then got loud again upon restarting.

Rob, my pleasure and no one more deserving than you my friend! I have been inspired to add the alky on the TWINS, I guess once you get a taste of it, it's hard to resist the urge.

Best of luck to you.

Thank You Richard! I guess our cars are going to have to have an intervention huh?

Nouman, Thanks for the pic! I Appreciate it! How's yours coming?

I thought that mine was nice and quiet. They spun the motor to 6k and even with the hood open, it was still stealthy! With the hood shut, it should sound like my car has a bad power steering pump! Little do they know that that bad pump gave me 150+ extra rwhp!
