AEM V3 Water/Methanol Injection Kit (30-3301)

OVERVIEW

Water/methanol injection for forced induction (turbocharged or supercharged) gas-powered race engines is a proven means of effectively reducing engine inlet air temperatures and suppressing harmful detonation. This allows racers to reliably increase boost and advance ignition timing, without using high-octane racing fuel, for power gains of up to 20%. AEM's water injection kits use robust hardware and deliver more advanced features than any other comparably priced water/methanol injection system.

This kit is the heavy duty, high capacity version of the V3 system. It pairs the Boost Dependent HD Controller, which carries an on-board manifold absolute pressure sensor rated to 40 PSI and a molded boost hose pickup nipple, with a 5-gallon reservoir for long duration use on forced induction and turbo diesel applications. Reducing inlet air temperature in this way also enhances combustion efficiency and increases horsepower and torque.

SPECS

• Boost Dependent HD Controller with on-board MAP sensor, rated to 40 PSI maximum boost
• Molded boost hose pickup nipple on the controller
• 5-gallon reservoir
• Suitable for forced induction and turbo diesel applications
• Professional-grade hardware
• Universal fitment

PARTS INCLUDED

• Complete kit as supplied by AEM; see the installation instructions for the full bill of materials.
• Boost Dependent HD Controller with internal MAP sensor
• 5-gallon reservoir tank

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Water/methanol injection fluid — not supplied with the kit. A water/methanol mixture must be added to the reservoir before use; see the AEM instructions below for the approved mixtures and safety handling.
• A boost source — the HD Controller is boost dependent and must be plumbed to a manifold pressure source via the molded boost hose nipple.
• Installer-supplied: a drill and tap to fit the injector bung into the intake tract, hand tools, wire crimping and stripping tools, and a switched 12V ignition source.
• Recommended: a calibrated engine tune once the system is installed, so boost and timing can safely take advantage of the charge cooling.

Notes

• AEM's installation instructions state that this water/methanol injection system is designed for race vehicles only.
• AEM lists this kit as a universal fit part rather than a vehicle-specific application. Note that 30-3301 uses the boost-dependent HD controller; AEM's multi-input controller, for high compression naturally aspirated engines and boost above the on-board MAP sensor's range, is a separate kit (PN 30-3350). Confirm packaging and routing for your car with Speed Logic before ordering.
