Which Water-Methanol Injection Kit is Right For You?

Join us as we go through our various stages of water-methanol injection systems to find which kit is right for you!
Stage 1 Boost Cooler Water-Methanol Kit - Boost Pressure Switch (On / Off System) Great for track cars, high HP cars, and positive displacement superchargers that hit boost instantly.
Stage 2 Boost Cooler Water-Methanol Kit - Single Variable Progressive Injection (Boost or MAF/MAP Sensor Output) (Liner Injection Curve) Great for all forced induction vehicles! Most popular injection kit.
Stage 3 Boost Cooler Water-Methanol Kit - 2D Variable Progressive Injection. Brings a heads up display into the cab with out permanently affecting the interior. Great for new cars that dont want to mount a gauge but want a water-meth userface. Advanced water-meth control in a easy to use package.
Stage 4 Boost Cooler Water-Methanol Kit - The most advanced water-methanol control on the market. Uses OEM fuel management control for water-methanol injection. Send/save water-meth tunes, data log, create true custom injection tables. Recommended for tuners only.

Brandon Monroe does the stage one have some type of failsafe? Or can your tuner make the car go into limp mode if it doesn't spray somehow?

[@brandonmonroe9867]

sergsrt8 hey there. No the stage 1 kid does not include a failsafe. I do not tune for methanol. Running it untuned can still net small power gains if using a smaller nozzle and will continue to clean valves and lower temps in the combustion chamber.

Thinking of running one of these kits on my B8 Audi S4. I find in most applications people are injecting pre throttle body, through the supercharger. However, I'm looking to use the SRM methanol injection spacer which is direct port injection, post supercharger. I wanted to know, If i use the SRM kit and I'm running one nozzle per cylinder, how accurately and evenly does the water/meth distribute? Might be a bit of a tuning problem if different cylinders are getting different amount of water/meth.

[@snowperformance1]

The purpose of a direct port is to get the best distribution possible. As long as the nozzle sizes are the same and its outputting good pressure that's going to be your best route.

Hello Adam, great video I think I know the answer to my question but thought I'd verify it anyway. Question: The controllers can upgraded or are interchangeable with the stage 1-3 kits correct? So originally I thought all I needed was the on/off boost switch so I purchased the stage 1 stainless steel braided line kit. It's a really nice kit, I just started installation of it. Actually I bought 2 stage 1 kits one for my car and one for my sons car (he paid me back for it lol) So changed my mind and now I've just ordered the vc50 controller for my car for a progressive flow and to replace my boost gauge. We're also ordering the vc30 controller for sons car. I'm pretty sure I can use the new controllers with my stage 1 kits but wanted to confirm after I've already made the order 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Hi can you help me I am looking at your water and methanol kits I am looking to use them with a nitrous kit. I know most user methanol and water kit so they can advance the timing to produce more power but I am not looking to advance my timing . I am looking at it so i can use the w&m kit to call down the chamber so I don't have to pull the timing. If i dont go with the water and methanol kit am i better off running a separate fuel cell & putting E85 into that then going to my fuel solenoid. If that is the case do i just put e85 into the fuel sell or do I need to mix it with a bit of petrol. Say 1 part e85 and 3 parts petrol . So a 1to3 ratio. Can u help me work this out . Like I said I know people that use water and methanol so they can then advance the timing spark and produce more power. But i am just going to use the e85 only when spraying nitrous. So i am not sure what i can get away with . I no e85 is a lot colder even to the touch compared to petrol. I use 93 to 98 ron pump gas in the UK. But i am new to E85 , but been told it helps with the temperature in the chamber and again with the spark which with nitrous guys that key. As if i can get this right i dont need to pull timing at all. Or if i get a stand-alone ECU i could run advance timing. But for now i am just looking at e85 as a way of me to get around putting timing from the engine and I only spray my nitrous hear and there. So i fill up with pump gas petrol . Then if i need power i spray my nitrous. But i have to pull timing out even with out spraying nitrous timing has to be pulled so that way when you do spray it don't go bang. I am looking at E85 as away round this. I hope this makes sense to you and if u can help

Just picked up a stock 2016 bmw 428i xdrive gran coupe as a daily driver and am in the process of exploring performance modifications. As much as I’d love to throw on an intake/exhaust and call it a day to keep my cars warranty… I’m exploring the route of tuning and potentially adding one of your kits (which I would imagine would require an upgraded charge pipe and turbo inlet pipe) At the same time, my number one goal with one of your kits would be to reduce carbon buildup, rather than maximize performance. What would be my best option given this information and would that option require a tune? (PS: PLEASE do not destroy me in the comments people, I’m just looking for info lol)

[@atlasdelmar481]

Just to clarify, your stage 2 with boost gauge allows the user to select the PSI the WMI starts & at what PSI it stops working at? Would you say this would be the most ideal setup for a daily driver that only gets on the gas hard seldom throughout the drive? Also what delivery system do you implement? A single nozzle by the throttle body or a direct injection setup off the intake manifold runners? If you're system has a single nozzle setup, do you also provide the hardware to setup a direct injection setup? Finally is your system completely turn key in the sense that you supply everything needed to install and maintain the system which includes the WM mixture?

[@snowperformance1]

You set a start and full boost point that will be a linear progression.Yes this stage is perfect for a daily driver! Typical installations are single nozzle systems in the intake pipe.Yes everything needed for install is supplied however you will need to purchase the water methanol mixture.
