Sorry for all the questions, but the lack of failsafes have kept me away from alky injection. Safe injection has changed my mind. My ECU+ will pull timing if it knocks, and safe injections plus the solenoid will drop boost.

Most people that get the kit do without the low level especially when they get the safe injection, but it is a nice feature ot have and I will probably be installing one on my evo at some point in the future.

A perfect world would provide one before on pumpgas and one after using the methyl:H2O mix to compare.
But that would be too easy.Not that I have any idea what I'll be looking at - just curious
.Thanks

Ok, I'm going to make 2 posts in a row here.
Post 1 will be some pics of my current status on the install of the kit.
Post 2 will be a question...
Here's a pic of my pump installed underneath the stock washer tank in the trunk. Note the black wire from the pump is grounded just below the tank. The red pump wire is run through the trunk into the cabin of the car. The red alky hose follows the red pump wire (ignore the hacked black and white sub speaker wires).
Here's the controllers mounted underneath the passenger seat. I'm going to velcro them to the floor so they stay in place, but can be moved to make adjustments as needed.
Looking from the back seat toward the front of the car:
Looking from the front seat toward the back of the car:
We ran the red alky hose from the cabin into the engine bay through an existing hole, and it's zip-tied to a hose temporarily until I tap in the injector.

Ok, question time.
In the below pic, I have a transformer that came with the kit. I have no idea where this comes into play. It's not noted in the instructions anywhere. Do I have to use it? (it's on the left in the pic):
In this pic, you can see we ran a green wire off the controller into the engine bay (tucked under the strut brace on the left), because I still haven't hooked up the safe injection solenoid. How do I wire the solenoid? It has 2 black wires coming off it. Does one go to the green wire and the other to a ground point?
I haven't wired up the LEDs yet, I'll tap those in this weekend. I'm thinking about installing them in my storage compartment below the stereo/HVAC. It looks like I can mount them in the front/top of the compartment so they'll be visible while driving, but I can drill a stealthy hole in case I ever have to remove them.
I also still have to run a vacuum hose for a boost source, I'll run that through the same hole the akly hose enters the engine bay.
Any feedback is appreciated! **Thanks to Halleys for the help with the install yesterday.

Nice
Doesn't matter what black lead goes to ground, so your right, one black wire connected to green trigger voltage (SI out) and the other to a GOOD ground source.
Your engine looks nice, mivec too - me jeulous.
I have the exact same kit - SI, VC25 - it works great even untuned but now my clutch is dying so that will postpone the tuning further.
Imagine fitting the whole shebang, not to mention a 4.8 qt res, under the hood, stock battery too. Dont ask how , nonetheless good work
