Water / Methanol Injection kit










AEM Water/Methanol Injection
Kits reduce air inlet
temperatures which allows users
to increase boost pressure (and
advance timing on forced
induction gas applications) to
create more power by utilizing
the cooling effects of the
system under heavy load. The kit
is offered in 2 configurations:
a 1-Gallon kit for racecar
applications, and a 5- Gallon HD
kit for Diesel applications or
racecars requiring extended
range. Both kits include all the
elements necessary to do
water/methanol injection right,
including a standard fluid level
sensor for the tank,
recirculation-style pump,
feature-loaded controller, and
complete hardware for
installation on practically any
diesel or gas application. For
users who intend to use a custom
or existing reservoir, AEM also
offers a “tankless” pump and jet
kit. There are no hidden costs
or additional components
required.

HOW IT WORKS

Once the AEM Water/Methanol Kit is installed, a boost-dependent, variable-flow progressive controller allows the user to determine the amount of water/methanol mixture (up to 50%) to feed into the inlet stream from the fluid reservoir. The controller commands a high-pressure, recirculation-style 150-PSI pump that delivers the mixture. Overall flow adjustments at the inlet are made via one of three different-sized jets (included) that are designed to match most engine power requirements.

RECIRCULATION-STYLE PUMP

AEM's recirculation-style pump offers improved performance, reliability and a much smoother, quieter operation when compared to older switched-style pumps. With the use of a new internal bypass design, AEM's upgraded pump eliminates erratic on and off switching/pulsing and ensures consistent fluid delivery for optimum performance. With durability and reliability in mind, AEM has designed the pump with a Santoprene diaphragm and EPDM seals to withstand the harshest of alcohol mixes.



BOOST SAFE!

All AEM Water/Methanol controllers include a Boost Safe feature. This feature allows users to retard timing or reduce boost via a ground output if the system runs out of fluid or detects a controller error, ensuring fail-safe operation of the engine whether the system is engaged or not. Critical safety features are integrated into the system to virtually eliminate any chance of failure, including an integral fluid level sensor in the reservoir, internal controller diagnostics and an LED dash light to warn of low fluid level or error codes (including short circuits.

KEY FEATURES
  • Universal kit includes everything you need for installation
  • Boost Safe” feature lets you retard the timing or reduce boost via a low side output if the system runs out of fluid or detects a system error
  • Recirculation-Style, controller-driven 150-PSI pump provides boost-dependent variable flow
  • One- and five-gallon tanks with integral fluid level sensors available
  • LED dash light included for system status and low fluid warning
  • Methanol compatible (up to 50% in solution with water)
  • Includes two different-sized jets to match your power requirement

good post bro!! i love my aem kit!

smokey said...

hahaha thanks sensei,then again reading at your blog make me wanna get one soon

DC5sss said...

bro you install the aem kit already? Is it easy to install and how much you bought bro?

Chew Soon said...

i got my kit for around rm 2k including installation and 15 gallons of water/methanol.

yeah its actually quite simple and straight forward to install.

u're gonna love it, especially if your ride is turbo charged!
