AEM Water / Methanol Injection Controller Kit V3 - 4.3L

AEM Water / Methanol kit Description Injecting water or methanol is an easy quick and cost-effective way to improve the performance and reliability of your turbo or supercharged engine. 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 the need to increase 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 is equipped with 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 type of 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 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 wiring harness enabling the kit to be installed on forced induction vehicles up to 1.5 bar of boost. This unit which is dependent on boost pressure is fitted with a manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor and a nipple for a boost hose pickup Robust reliable and quiet high-pressure water pump Forged aluminium injector supplied with 3 nozzles in various shapes to change flow rate (please check 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... Note : This updated version of the kit uses the new (V3) injector design for both faster cooling and reduced fluid consumption.
