Labonte MotorSports Questions and Answers

[K. Soze]

Hey everyone. Now that our group buy is over and some members have the kits now, I wanted to start a question and answer thread.

If you have any questions regarding our company, how to install the kits, the benefits of water/meth, or water/meth in general.......let us know.

I am constantly on the board and would be happy to address any questions.


Best regards,

Lucas

This post was pulled from the Group Buy thread. It was from kicker22705.

"found a station that pumps methanol for 4.20/gal

my initial reaction is a very good one. everything works beautifully, no leaks, no malfunctions, no hiccups, no complaints.

my audible pinging is gone, hopefully the non audible one is as well. i'll know for sure this weekend after i install a knock light.

i didn't want to go crazy w/o any knock monitoring, so i only ran up to 13.5 psi w/ no timing changes. i wasn't paying the closest attention to my afr but it didn't seem to have changed much, if at all. theres no bogging/hessitation when it does turn on; just a very smooth fast acceleration.

i like the green led. since the pump doesn't make any noises, its nice to have the light to let you know when the pump switches on/off and starts/stops pumping. i have mine hooked up to my microtech, set to turn on when its at least 3000rpm and 8psi, and it appears to turn on exactly where it supposed to.

so basically it does everything the way it was described, and that makes me a happy customer

thanks k. soze"



That's what we like to hear.

pictures of the ISG-10 system installed in mine...

where did you put the controller?

 

[K. Soze]

Lookin' good. That solenoid is in-line with the fluid hose, correct? I can't tell from the pics. I'm just wanting to make sure.

 

[kicker22705]

i don't have the the Labonte Controller, im using one of my Microtech Aux-Outputs to activate the pump based on a preset rpm & map pressure.

Lookin' good. That solenoid is in-line with the fluid hose, correct? I can't tell from the pics. I'm just wanting to make sure.

yes between the pump and injector nozzle as instructed. its about 12-18 inches from the injector nozzle. i figured it'd be best mounted closest to the nozzle for the quickest response.

 

[K. Soze]

Awesome. I just wanted to make sure. That sounds perfect. I'm glad you're liking it so far. When you tune for it, it'll be that much better.

 

[K. Soze]

I'm pretty sure install pics should be coming soon. We got some members getting ready to put their kits in.

sorry, had another set back yesterday, i threw a rod bearing on the first dyno pull

 

[kicker22705]

sorry to hear that, thats a real bummer

 

[S.A.MSP]

i know, i've had a real bad luck streak lately

 

[K. Soze]

That stinks. Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll have it up and running in no time.


On another note, I thought I would post this to give an example what our kits can do.

Progressive pump systems are very predictable and can deliver a nice flat A/F curve. Here are some dyno charts comparing the VCS3G against our VC-25 on an EVO8MR (yea, yea, we'll get some Mazda dynos up soon enough). Notice how flat the A/F is across the pull for runs 8 & 10. The car picked up 15awhp just from more accurate injection control ! We could have made more hp just by adjusting the Gain on the VCS3G, but owner was happy enough with results.

i wish i could of got one... but i have like 39$.... thats all haha. and i need tires still

[K. Soze]

All PM's answered.

Thanks for the orders everyone.

 

[kicker22705]

my flow gauge, IFS-10 fail safe, and BBK boost by-pass came in today. Everything looks great, quality looks top notch. I got some HKS Chrono's gauges coming in next week too, can't wait to install everything in the coming weeks.

 

[K. Soze]

Woowee! You're gonna be set. Thanks for the orders.

 

[kicker22705]

i'm in the process of installing the IFS-10, but i'm uncertain about something i need clarified. Does it matter where it is mounted in between the Pump and Nozzle?

Should it be a) between the checkvalve/solenoid and the injector nozzle, or b) between the pump and the checkvalve/solenoid?

a) Pump---Solenoid---IFS10---Injector Nozzle
b) Pump---IFS10---Solenoid---Injector Nozzle

does it even matter? thanks

 

[K. Soze]

Option B, good sir.

 

[kicker22705]

okay thats what i did. thanks.
