The AEM Water / Methanol Injection Kit is
universal by design and adapts to virtually any forced induction gas or
diesel engine via multiple jets to suit your vehicle’s power
requirements.
WHY YOU WANT ONE
AEM’s Water / Methanol Injection Kit reduces air inlet temperatures and
exhaust-gas temperatures, which allows you to increase boost pressure
and advance timing without having to run higher-octane fuel. It’s like
getting to run 100+ octane gas for the price of Premium!
WHY YOU WANT OURS
AEM’s Water / Methanol Injection Kit includes all the features
necessary to do water/methanol injection right. No hidden costs or
optional components are required. Unlike other popular kits on the
market, we include a one- or five-gallon tank with a fluid level sensor
standard. Also, because we think engine protection is a requirement,
not an option, we include our Boost Safe output in every controller we
design. This feature allows you to retard timing or reduce boost via a
ground output if the system runs out of fluid or detects an error. With
the AEM Water / Methanol Injection Kit, you get all the best features
in one low priced kit.
HOW IT WORKS
Once installed, the Water / Methanol Injection Kit uses a
boost-dependent, variable-flow progressive controller to determine the
amount of water / methanol mixture (up to 50%) to feed into the inlet
stream from the included one- or five-gallon reservoir. The controller
commands a progressive 150-PSI pump that delivers the mixture, and flow
adjustments at the inlet are made via three included jets designed to
match most engine power requirements. The result is significant
horsepower gains using pump gas—at about half the cost of Racing Fuel.
OTHER COOL STUFF
You don’t have to worry whether AEM has your application
because the Water / Methanol Injection Kit is designed to be universal
for practically any vehicle. It includes everything you need to adapt
it to your steed. Critical safety features are integrated into the
system to virtually eliminate any chance of failure, including an
integral fluid level sensor in the reservoir, a dash light to warn of
low fluid level or error codes (including short circuits, battery
voltage and more), and an additional output to either decrease ignition
timing or boost if the system detects low fluid levels or a system
error.
TERMINOLOGY EXPLAINED
By now you’ve most likely heard various terms in reference to
water/methanol injection systems. Some refer to these systems as just
water injection, methanol injection, and/or meth injection for short.
In addition to those terms, these systems are often referred to as
alcohol injection or water/alcohol injection. The bottom line is all of
these terms are used to reference the same type of system.
What some may or may not know is that methanol is known as methyl
alcohol. Methanol’s scientific name is where the “alcohol” variant name
has come from. Essentially, alcohol and methanol is the same thing,
however there are different types of alcohol.
