Overview

The Active Autowerke methanol injection kit is a model-specific system designed for BMW E36 Coupe and Sedan models. Superchargers and turbochargers generate heat, leading to performance loss. This kit combats heat soak by chilling the intake charge with a methanol-water mix, which also increases the engine's knock limit to prevent detonation.

The system features a trunk-mounted 1.8+ gallon reservoir with an inline filter and low pickup tube. Its location on the battery tray maximizes trunk storage while keeping the reservoir away from engine and exhaust heat. The methanol-water mix is precisely delivered and metered by an electronic module that monitors boost pressure and controls flow based on engine load and demand. The kit includes injection hose and wiring within a protective casing, and a robust pump is suited for methanol-water mix. The system is tested and proven on high-horsepower applications. Note that the methanol or any liquid is not included and must be procured separately.
Show original supplier description
The Active Autowerke Methanol Injection Kit is a performance-enhancing system specifically engineered for BMW E36 Coupe and Sedan models, including the 318, 323, 325, 328, and M3 variants from 1992-1999. This kit directly addresses the performance degradation caused by heat soak, a common issue with supercharged and turbocharged engines. By injecting a precise mixture of methanol-water, the system significantly chills the intake charge, effectively combating heat buildup and restoring lost power. Furthermore, the increased knock limit provided by the mixture acts as a safeguard against detonation under high boost conditions. Key features of this model-specific system include a large 1.8+ gallon reservoir, strategically mounted on the battery tray to maximize trunk space while keeping the fluid furthest from engine and exhaust heat. The reservoir is equipped with an inline filter and a low pickup tube for efficient delivery. The system's electronic module precisely meters the mixture, adjusting flow based on real-time engine boost pressure, load, and demand, with settings that can be re-adjusted as needed. All injection hoses and wiring are routed within a protective casing for durability and a clean installation. The kit is detailed with illustrated instructions for a straightforward installation process and has been rigorously tested on Active Autowerke's own 500+ HP supercharged and turbocharged vehicles. It is important to note that the methanol or any liquid solution is not included with this kit; the end user is responsible for its procurement. This system is not a generic, universal application, but rather manufactured specifically for the listed BMW E36 models, ensuring optimal fit and performance.
