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. Key Features: Trunk-mounted 1.8+ gallon reservoir with inline filter and low pickup tube Reservoir location on Battery Tray maximizes trunk storage Methanol-water mix is not influenced by either engine or exhaust heat Robust high volume pump will deliver on demand and is suited for a methanol-water mix Electronic module delivers precisely. Settings can be re-adjusted if needed Injection hose and wiring routed within a protective casing Not a generic, universal system but manufactured model specific Detailed instruction with pictures makes for a simple install Tested and proven on our 500+ HP turbo and supercarged cars NOTE: Methanol or any liquid is not included with this system.
