Superchargers and turbochargers are fantastic for cranking up your engine's power, but let's be real—they also bring along a nasty little problem: heat. When they’re working hard, they generate a lot of heat, which can lead to what's known as a "heat-soaked" engine. That means the extra power you gain can actually start to slip away because of that heat. Not exactly what you want after investing in performance upgrades.
That’s where the Active Autowerke methanol-water injection system comes into play. This setup is designed to cool down that intake charge, effectively countering the heat soak issue. By mixing methanol and water, you're not just cooling things off; you’re also raising your engine's knock limit. It’s like giving your engine a safety net against unwanted detonation when you crank up the boost.
The system is smart, too. It features an electronic module that monitors your engine's boost pressure and adjusts the methanol-water delivery based on what your engine needs at any given moment. No guesswork here—just reliable performance when you need it most.
And let’s talk about the reservoir. It's got a hefty 1.8+ gallon capacity, which is perfect for keeping up with the demands of high-performance driving. Plus, it’s trunk-mounted, which not only keeps it away from all that engine and exhaust heat but also maximizes your trunk space. The mount is solid and secure, but if you ever need to detach it, the spring-loaded quick releases make it a breeze.
If you're looking to boost your forced induction performance, this is definitely a mod you should consider. It’s been tested on cars pushing over 500 HP with turbo and supercharger setups, so you know it’s got the chops to handle serious power.
Note: You’ll need to source your own methanol or liquid for this system; it doesn’t come included.
Fitment:
Upgrade your ride with the Active Autowerke Methanol Injection Kit for BMW E46 and experience the difference for yourself.
