1. Alcohol injection has actually been around
since the early 40s and with the Devil's Own
kit, you can literally put any kind of alcohol,
even the drinking kind.
2. The Isuzu Trooper battled it out with the
Pajero and Patrol during the 90s. But age has
taken its toll on these vehicles and a shot
brandy wakes them up. We start by mounting the
pump inside the engine bay.
3. The stock rubber hose is too
flimsy to hold the nozzle. We used a stainless
steel elbow and silicon hoses instead, and mount
the nozzle and boost switch.
4. A bracket is made for the reservoir beside
the pump.
5. Here's the completed system mounted and ready
to go.
6. We kid you not! That's real brandy we're
pouring in there.
7. A run on the dyno determines how many horses
we gain upon injection and to determine what
mixture makes the most power. Each car is
different and the dyno is the only way to test
the various mixtures.
8. We tried several concentrations, starting
from 30/70 up to 50/50. Brandy is 40% alcohol by
volume and guess what? It made the most power!
7. Along with power increase, torque increased
as well, this translates to better acceleration
of the line and more pulling power.
