Specifications:

• Cost-effective way to improve performances
• Better engine reliability
• Lowers operating temperatures

• Kit contents: control unit, pump, injector, 4.3L tank, MAP sensor, and installation hardware
• AEM reference: 30-3300

The principle function of a water/methanol injection kit is very simple: an injector sprays water in the intake in the form of a very fine mist. The sprayed water instantly vaporizes in the intake: it is this change of state of the water (liquid state to gaseous state) which absorbs the heat of the air and reduces its temperature by several tens of degrees.

Water / Methanol Injection Advantages

• The intake air is cooler and denser, allowing boost and ignition timing to be increased for better performance (without increasing the fuel's octane). AEM announces gains of up to 20% more power.
• Knock is repelled, significantly improving the reliability of the engine.
• Reduces exhaust gas temperature (EGT).
• Descaling: the vaporization of water acts as a "steam cleaner", eliminating carbon deposits for better performance. This is particularly significant if your engine has an exhaust gas recycling system (EGR).

Note that no water particles will reach the cylinders, as the water is vaporized instantly. Methanol provides the same benefits as water in this application, with even greater efficiency. You can, therefore, use pure water (preferably demineralized or at least filtered) or a mixture of both up to 50% methanol concentration. For safety reasons, methanol being a highly flammable chemical, do not use in greater than 50% methanol concentrations.

Injector/nozzle location requirements :

• The nozzle must be mounted above the tank (failure to do so may lead to fluid leaking or siphoning)
• The nozzle must be installed before the throttle butterfly
• Nozzle should also be mounted after the MAF sensor, if present, and after any intercoolers

Water / Methanol Injection kit Components

• Control unit and electrical harness, allowing you to configure the automatic triggering (depending on boost or along a 0-5V input connected to an external source)
• Robust, reliable, and quiet high-pressure water pump
• Forged aluminum injector, supplied with three nozzles in various shapes to change flow rate (please check the installation manual to determine the flow that suits your needs)
• 4.3L tank, compact design with anti-surge, equipped with a level probe (the information of which is sent to the control unit)
• MAP sensor (2.5 bar absolute pressure)
• Fitting accessories, hoses, bolts, etc...
