AEM V3 Water/Methanol Injection Kit w/Multi Input Controller, 1.15 Gallon Tank

THE AEM WATER/METHANOL INJECTION SYSTEM ADVANTAGE

Water/methanol injection for gas engines is a proven means for effectively reducing engine inlet air temperatures and suppressing harmful detonation on high compression naturally aspirated (NA) race engines. This allows racers to reliably increase boost and advance ignition timing"”without using high-octane racing fuel"”for improved power gains. AEM's Water/Methanol Injection Systems utilize the most robust hardware combined with more advanced features than any other comparably priced water/methanol system.

AEM's Multi Input controller design enables users to install Water/Methanol Injection on high compression naturally aspirated vehicles (NA) via the MAF/IDC settings. The Multi-Input controller works with an external 0-5v voltage-based external MAP sensor, a frequency based input for Injector Duty Cycle (IDC), frequency-based mass airflow (MAF), or a 0-5v voltage-based MAF. The Multi-Input Controller is available with a 1.15-gallon tank (PN 30-3350), five-gallon tank (PN 30-3351) and in a tank-less kit (PN30-3352).

Water/Methanol for All Boost Levels of Forced Induction Gas Race Engines:

AEM offers two different water/methanol controller designs for gas vehicles:

One is boost dependent for forced induction vehicles up to 35 PSI of boost (kit PN 30-3300). The Boost Dependent controller has an on-board manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor with a molded-in nipple for a boost hose pickup.

The second controller (Kit PN 30-3350) features a multiple input design that enables users to install AEM's Water/Methanol Injection Kit on ultra-high boost vehicles (above 35 PSI) using a 0-5v voltage-based external MAP sensor.

Robust, Easy to Use Controller Designs:

The new controller designs (Boost Dependent Kit PN 30-3300 & Multi Input Kit PN 30-3350) feature large, turn-resistant knobs and larger numbering to easily set accurate start and full activation points, with covered status LED and test buttons for added splash resistance. A plug is integrated into the controller housing for mating to the redesigned wiring harness's positive-lock connector. The Boost Dependent controller housing has a molded-in, barbed nipple to accept a boost hose and a wiring legend on the back. Both controller housings feature an easy to access integrated fuse and molded mounting tabs.

Simplified Wiring:

AEM's Water/Methanol Injection kit's wiring harness is terminated with a positive-lock connector on one end and has color-coded wires to ease installation. Both the power and ground wires for the pump are included in the harness which simplifies the wiring process and eliminates any chance of the pump accidentally activating from a short in the system. An additional wire is included for adding an optional on/off solenoid to stop fluid flow when the system is inactive.

Integrated Boost Safe Feature:

The controllers in AEM's Water Methanol systems include an integrated "Boost Safe" output feature that monitors the entire injection system and triggers a ground signal via an output if it detects a voltage-related error (short, bad connection, broken wire, overheated pump, high or low voltage signal, etc.), allowing users to define their failsafe strategy from something as simple as flashing a warning light to more advanced strategies like pulling boost or ignition, or switching fuel maps on a standalone engine management system. Combined with the integral and highly accurate conductive low-fluid switch in the tank, "Boost Safe" can also put your engine in safe mode before the system runs dry. This exclusive feature is found only on AEM Water/Methanol Injection Systems.

Heavy-Duty High Pressure Injection Pump:

AEM's internally-bypassed water/methanol injection pump does not cycle on and off and provides quiet, smooth operation. It features robust construction including integral hose fittings, EPDM seals and a Santoprene diaphragm that provides consistent and reliable fluid delivery.

Low-Profile 1.15 Gallon Tank:

AEM's gas Water/Methanol Injection Systems are available with or without a compact 1.15 gallon tank that features an anti-starvation reservoir. A more accurate, conductive low level fluid sensor is integrated into the tank and features a positive lock connector with color-matched wires to the wiring harness. The sensor eliminates any chance of incorrect readings due to interference from debris.

Machined Billet Injectors and Nozzles:

AEM includes one precision-machined billet injector in its gasoline Water/Methanol Injection kit. It features an integral check valve to prevent unintended fluid flow. Three billet injector nozzles are included for matching water/methanol flow to an engine's horsepower output. Click the link for a Nozzle Flow Guide graph.

Revised Flow Control Strategy for More Linear Fluid Delivery:

AEM's engineers spent extensive time revamping the controller's flow control strategy for a more linear flow output delivery. This means that the flow delivery better matches an engine's need for water/methanol injection, which further optimizes charge air cooling and detonation control.

WATER/METHANOL INJECTION ADVANTAGES FOR GAS ENGINES:

Reduces Air Inlet Charge Temps:

The term "liquid intercooling" with water/methanol injection refers to a highly atomized mist of water/methanol that is injected into the airstream and begins to evaporate. As it does, this evaporative effect reduces air charge temps by as much as 100 degrees, and delivers a more oxygen-rich air charge.

Reduces Detonation (Knock):

Water absorbs heat, and methanol is a cool burning, anti-knock rated fuel. When combined and introduced into the inlet stream, they can effectively increase your vehicle's anti-knock index so you can reliably increase boost pressure and advance ignition timing using pump gas.

Reduces Carbon Deposits:

Modern vehicles fitted with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) devices for emissions control promote heavy carbon build up inside the air intake. This carbon build-up can create "˜hot spots' in the combustion chambers that can cause detonation. Water/methanol injection has a "˜steam cleaning' effect that reduces this carbon build up, and in some cases can increase fuel economy.
