JB4 Universal Water/Methanol Injection (WMI) Kit (2024)

Make tremendous amounts of power on pump gas!

Water/Methanol/Alcohol injection commonly referred to as WMI allows you to make tremendous amounts of power on pump gas. The effect is similar to running 100 octane race gas or E85 fuel all the time with the additional cooling benefits allowing for more power than you can make on race gas or E85 alone.

FSB JB4 Water/Methanol Injection (WMI) controller

The BMS JB4 FSB Water/Methanol Injection (WMI) controller allows the JB4 to control your WMI pump and solenoid for dynamic progressive flow mapping. It also allows the JB4 to monitor pump current to overlay it with CANbus feedback for tuning parameters such as fuel trims and fuel pressure to provide a comprehensive flow-based safety system.

The key to a safe and effective Water/Methanol Injection (WMI) setup is tuning integration. All BMS kits integrate to the JB4 tuning system allowing for precise mapping based on boost, throttle position, engine speed, intake temperature, advance, gear, and other data elements available to the JB4 through its CANbus system. In addition, a pump flow signal is fed back to the JB4 allowing for a safe and smooth progressive boost mapping. If the tank runs empty or flow drops for any reason the JB4 will safely back down performance to avoid knock. In addition, WMI can be activated or disabled from the driver’s seat, will automatically disengage during traction control or safety map situations, and WMI flow data can be displayed in dash and/or via your JB4 Mobile logging device.

BMS kits include a high quality 220psi Aquatec WMI pump (the industry standard), methanol compatible solenoid with filter, compression fittings reducing the risk of dangerous leaks, and all required wiring and mounting hardware.

The base kit includes a WMI pump, solenoid, FSB for JB4 integration, WMI solenoid, filter, 20' of WMI line, and required fittings. Using the options when adding to cart you can add on a WMI nozzle (BM10 suggested for most applications), tank, and optional checkvalve tank tap to keep vapors inside the tank.

Optional check valve tank tap to keep vapors inside the tank is available at the bottom of the page

Injection Nozzle Options: (Single or Dual Nozzles)

The nozzles are determined by the intended power and how many bungs your charge pipe has. The nozzles are 1/8” NPT and screw into bungs included on most aftermarket charge pipes. Our "super atomizing" nozzles are well known for their great atomization and flow characteristics. The nozzle number represents the approximate gallons per hour of fluid when at full flow. Generally speaking, running two smaller nozzles is preferred to one larger nozzle for an equal flow to improve fluid atomization and distribution. Feel free to email us for nozzle advice if your situation is unique.

FAQs

How much HP does WMI add? ›

A significant number of vehicle owners currently use water/methanol injection. It can improve car engine performance and increase horsepower by 40 to 45. When you're mixing it, make sure you get the correct 50/50 ratio.

How much horsepower does water methanol injection add? ›

Then with a mix of 75 percent methanol and 25 percent water the power jumped to 890 for a gain of roughly 60 horsepower. So a 60-hp increase is nothing to scoff at. Now that we have an idea of what water/methanol injection is worth, let's get into why all this happens. There's more to this gig than you might think.

What is the ratio of water to methanol injection mix? ›

What ratio of water/methanol is recommended? A 50/50 ratio is recommended. This has been demonstrated to be the best for charge/air cooling, excellent detonation control, and safety. Ratios of anywhere from 30% to 50% methanol work well and deliver excellent octane gains and cooling.

Do you need to tune for water methanol injection? ›

Installing water/methanol injection without retuning your engine will usually cost horsepower, as the water replaces some of the combustable air inside the engine. If you can't advance the timing, increase the boost pressure, or both, don't bother adding water/methanol injection.

Is WMI worth it? ›

Pro: Cost-Effective Boost to Horsepower

Going back to the cost of race gas, at the current price of around $20.00 per gallon or more, filling a 20-gallon tank with 118 octane race fuel for one weekend of racing is about the same cost of one WMI system.

How long does methanol injection last? ›

A larger tank should be considered if boost pressures of over nine psi are utilized in road racing, where a two-quart tank will run dry in as few as five to six two-mile laps. Under normal street use in a 400hp car, a two-quart tank will usually last about 450 miles.

What are the pros and cons of water methanol injection? ›

I can post links for intercoolers if you want. Pros: Lowered EGT's with higher water levels. Higher HP levels with higher Meth levels. Cons: Hydrolock of the motors, should the system not be shut down correctly, or have a failure somewhere along the way.

Do F1 cars use methanol? ›

Methanol fuel is also used extensively in drag racing, primarily in the Top Alcohol category, while between 10% and 20% methanol may be used in Top Fuel classes in addition to Nitromethane. Formula One racing continues to use gasoline as its fuel, but in prewar grand prix racing methanol was often used in the fuel.

Where is the best location for a water methanol nozzle? ›

Also placing the injection nozzle as far from the cylinders/air intake sensor as possible, it allows for the water/methanol mixture to be better absorbed into the intake air charge. This allows for great distribution to each cylinder.

Does methanol injection clean valves? ›

Because water-methanol increases octane in the fuel, it allows for more power and performance and intake cooling and valve cleaning.

How much HP can a tuning chip add? ›

In general, most cars will see a horsepower gain of 10-20% from an ECU tune. However, some cars may see a gain of up to 50% or more.

How much HP does throttle control add? ›

No, the throttle controller does not increase horsepower. The electronic throttle control is designed to improve your acceleration times by increasing the performance of your engine. A performance part or tune will allow you to gain more horsepower than a throttle controller.
