One of the best inventions for your BMW has already been
around 60 years!
Superchargers and turbochargers generate more than just boost, they generate
a ton of incremental heat during operation, resulting in ‘heat-soak’ from
elevated intake air temps. Their power increase creates its own power
decrease...
But an application specific Active Autowerke methanol-water injection system
will help chill the intake charge to a cooler temperature – effectively
combating the heat soak effect and acting as a 'chemical intercooler'.
Additionally, the methanol-water mix increases your engine’s knock limit,
serving as insurance against unwanted high boost detonation. Methanol is a fuel
and therefore will not lean out a fuel mixture and is considered very safe.
Water/Methanol systems have been used since WWII to increase power on booted
engines, and with today’s electronic controllers it has become a safe and easy
to use upgrade for BMWs.
Your chosen mixture of methanol & water, or just one or the other, is precisely
delivered and metered by its own electronic module. This module not only
monitors the boost pressure within the engine but also controls the delivery
flow to match both the engine load and demand as needed. Active has insured this
kit works with each BMW application they offer to insure a much faster, cleaner
install than universal kits.
Your kit comes with a large 1.8+ gallon reservoir well suited for BMW apps. Each
fill up can last weeks to months depending on how much time is spent at full
throttle, the capacity is there to meet most demands and the trunk mounted
location is ideal by being the furthest position away from both engine and
exhaust heat.
This kit installs in a trunk position that maximizes the available trunk space.
It has a rigid mount that's very secure, yet it can be easily detached if needed
by its spring loaded quick releases.
If there’s one mod you should be considering for better forced induction
performance, this is it.
