Hey all,

We've got a new product that we're really excited about: SMC Alcohol Injection. It's got a ton of potential but it's still a very cost effective mod. Designed to be a hassle free upgrade, this package includes everything you need to get alcohol injection running properly on your car. Although many people are “scared” of alcohol injection, if utilized properly, it is perfectly safe while also being one of the best bang for the buck power adders available for a boosted car. Alcohol injection works by injecting a fine mist of alcohol into the intake stream. This does two important things:

1) Alcohol Injection lowers the temperature of the intake charge to create a denser (and thus greater) air mass.

2) Alcohol Injection raises the effective octane of your fuel which works towards avoiding detonation (the sworn enemy of engines).

These two factors are particularly beneficial on turbocharged cars because the effectiveness of turbocharging is dependent on having a dense and cool intake charge while also avoiding detonation. Boosted engines are particularly succeptable to detonation because they can see such high pressures and temperatures. By increasing the effective octane of your fuel, it allows you to run higher boost and add more timing advance. It is not uncommon to see HP gains as high as 20-30% with these changes, regardless of modifications. Additionally, two added bonuses of alky injection are that it also cleans your engine and will work with pump gas.

The SMC Alcohol Injection System is unique, reliable, and safe in several regards. Designed from the ground up specifically for the Subaru WRX and STi, this system includes a 1 gallon washer fluid tank that serves as a reservoir. This makes for a very simple and stealthy install. A small auxilliary washer tank/pump that mounts in front of the battery is also included so that you can still clean your windshield. Another unique feature of this kit is the Progressive Controller. An extremely small unit that can be fitted nearly anywhere (it measures only 2.75" wide x .9" high x 4.6" deep), this microprocessor based device will automatically increase alcohol spray pressure as boost rises. This system runs on denatured alcohol that can be bought nearly anywhere.

As is wise when running high boost levels, tools critical to tuning are highly recommened to be used in conjunction with this kit. A wide-band 02 controller, knock link, and tuning are suggested.

- Increase effective octane of fuel
- Drastically decrease temperature of intake charge
- Allows higher boost and more timing advance
- Expect 20-30% HP increases
- Stealth installation

SMC Alcohol Injection - $499 Shipped!

We are offering the following packages:

SMC Alcohol Injection + Link Knock Link + PLX M300 Wideband - $1099 Shipped!

This combo includes everything you will will need (short of EM) to tune and safely run alky injection on your car. When running at high levels of boost, it is absolutely critical to monitor knock so that your engine doesn't blow itself up. The PLX wideband is one of the best on the market and will ensure that you are running at optimum AFRs.



SMC Alcohol Injection + Cobb Acessport + Link Knock Link + PLX M300 Wideband - $1649 Shipped for WRX!
$1699 Shipped for STi

This combo includes everything you will will need (including EM) to tune and safely run alky injection on your car. When running at high levels of boost, it is absolutely critical to monitor knock so that your engine doesn't blow itself up. The PLX wideband is one of the best on the market and will ensure that you are running at optimum AFRs. Finally, the Cobb AP is argualbly the most versatile engine management solution on the market allowing for multiple map capability and full control over the ECU's parameters. You will need a Protune with this setup.



Other tuning solution packages:

If you consider your engine a worthwhile investment (which I think most of you do), you might want to consider this little insurance policy:

An extremely valuable tuning tool and problem indicator, the Link Knock Link w/ Bosch Knock sensor is a critical component for the highly modified engine. Highly modified engines run the thin line between peak power and engine failure. This failure is often caused by detonation. The Knock Link uses a highly sensitive (and superior) to stock) Bosch knock sensor that is extremely sensitive to detonation. The Knock Link alerts you the moment detonation is occurring; not after you've finished looking at your data logs or blown your motor. The Knock Link can protect your motor while tuning or simply when you get a bad tank of gas. It is our opinion the Knock Link belongs right next to the Wide Band O2 sensor and is a necessity for the highly modified engine; think of it as cheap insurance to protect your high performance (and expensive) motor.

-Monitor real-time knock.
-Optimise advance.
-An excellent saftey measure for heavily modified engines
