AEM WATER METH KIT INSTALL!! (Focus ST)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2024
- Even though California was on fire, we still made this install happen! We walk you step by step through the install process and take the car out for a nice shakedown of the system. We hope this video helps anyone out there who purchased this kit or is thinking about purchasing this kit from AEM.

The tank can be as high as you want it the fluid will not drain into the intake. AEM nozzle has A built in check valve.
SI RICKO
We were just following instructions.
@@tbr.performance i know my man but it says it in the instructions to.
Lol
A check valve? How does a check valve prevent flow when the pumps off and then allows flow when the pumps on? Is it a boost control “check valve”?
Perhaps, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Best not to have faith solely in the check valve to prevent siphoning. Heck, I have a solenoid (much better - it'll stop up to 300psi) and I don't rely on it to the point that I didn't safely mount the tank lower than the injection point.
Amazing walk through, thank you for the video. Crazy how much ash was coming down.
probably the best video to lern how to instal aem meth kit!!
great job guys!
Idk if I could be ok with losing my spare, I’d prob just cut up some of that styrofoam on the sides
Damn that's a lot of ash. Great video tho! Very informative. Planning on getting the Stage 3 Snow Performance kit soon
you can mount the tank anywhere, the nozzle has a check valve in the aem kit or a check valve can be bought from any methanol retailer.
pretty good spot though honestly
I have the same kit but adding an AEM solenoid and a devils own check valve.. Hows the car doing with the methanol and freah tune? Any noticeable power gains?
I am adding it for more of the cooling and valve cleaning benefits then power. But will take any I can get..
Nice man, I can’t wait to setup a water/meth kit on my gtx2860 10thgen SI🤙🏼
Is it still working? Or did the controller break or anything?
Did you guys just drill the pump into the floor of the hatch using sheet metal screws? No bracket?
Helpful, thanks. A follow up video would be awesome!
How did the system do so far? I was concerned about the location and bend radius of the meth hard line to the nozzle on the throttle body spacer. Did it wear or kink with engine rocking between the engine and the radiator?
Question. I have a kit.. what water to use? Tap or demineralised or bottle/filtred?
Should probably make sure your oil temps are up before you blow your turbo
Hey valley, I have the mountune big turbo kit (6258) with a couple of other mods and I’m considering going with WMI to hit that 400 whp mark. However I’m extremely worried about blowing my motor and I can’t find a solid list on engine reinforcement. I know there’s some things you’d want to do such as reinforced pistons, what else would I need to upgrade to prevent my engine from crapping?
On the ST mostly just your Cams and rods, rest should be totally fine. Even stock should be fine for 400whp just change oil religiously and flush coolant every year. Also upgrade to fords newer yellow coolant.
On the Subie STI (I think) they have an Alcohol/ water spray that helps to keep the inter cooler cooler would no that also be a good idea??
Aren’t you supposed to put the injector at least 5 inches in front of the throttle body?
Shenanigan Shop
This method hasn’t caused any issues. The instructions do say to locate it in front of the tb but the throttle body spacer works perfect for this application. JST tuning confirmed that we could do it this way.
which is better the aux fuel system from stratified or this water meth? can i run both? this is all to confusing.
specter116
You can actually run both! The aux fuel kit from stratified has a bung location for water meth injection!
Did the spacer come with the kit or did you purchase it separately. If so what's the link
My focus st is daily driven. I'm only wanting to hit 350rhp, would meth be the way to go, or just bigger turbo and tune? Not to mention it'll never be raced
Do both clean the valves and cool temps
Ethan Bromley
Agreed! You’ll be able to hit the 350 mark with the big turbo alone and an e30 tune but water meth injection is always great if you wanna clean the valves. Another method of valve cleaning and added performance is auxiliary fuel, either throttle body or port injection. Trey’s ST is running the throttle body dual injector setup but he will be switching to 4 port in the future.
How often would I need to add the meth and is it expensive? Does it spray it as needed or what? Clueless how that works
It only sprays at wide open throttle. I think I read somewhere it lasts like 12 min of wide open throttle on a single tank which if you think about how often and how long you are at WOT, its a lot longer than you think.
D J big turbo and tune
Did you guys wire up the failsafe, if so, where you hook it up to
How did you guys wire the boost line to the engine
Good lord, that's a crazy amount of ash fallout. Hopefully you guys didn't have any health issues from breathing all of that garbage. We've got a little bit of that up here in the northern Sac area from the Paradise fire. Trying to get my pump installed right now, but I'm not sure if I want to mount to the body or to the trunk insulation (styrofoam) surrounding my spare.
Hey is it normal for the led to stay faintly lit the entire time even when not in boost ?
Awesome clip man, towards the end when you shows that it took 1 gallon of meth I could hear Los Angeles de Charly in the background.
I been reading also into doing water meth for my 2014 Fusion 2.0l EcoBoost
Cisco isn’t that the same engine as the st ?
@@esfrainayala4128 super late, but yes, it's just a detuned version of the st engine.
How Long did The Water Meth kit take to install?
nice video thx! What is this remix can't find it (
Where do you tie in boost safe wire? (Green one)
So you sacrificed a pair tire over a subwoofer?
Awesome video.
Would love to do that to my st150. 😉🤔👊👍
4:00 MAN WHAT A CATCH! That is an MD-11
Nah, that's an MD-10. You can tell because the MD-11s have the winglets. The one in the video doesn't.
Does this inject the mixture the whole time the car is on or only under boost conditions?
DAVID TURCZAK
Only under boost does the kit spray. That’s why it’s hooked up to the vacuum line in the engine bay. It will read boost pressure and adjust accordingly!
Awesome vid! What are your thoughts on running Aux fuel with water meth on a big turbo setup? water meth would be purely for added cooling.
1Vnarine
It would work great! Colder charge air means a more powerful combustion. You would also have the benefits of valve cleaning.
Will this kit work with the RS?
the kit isnt vehicle specific you can install it on a prius if you wanted
How much power did you gain?
Where did you got the menthol mix from ?
Ordering my aem meth kit for my 18 focust st in a few days. any tips?
Can I mount the pump and tank in my engine bay if I have the space?
Some people convert the washer bottle into the reservior so you probably can.
Will Seafoam clean that carbon buildup?
No
Amazing video👌
Whats the bov?
Ayeeee the Homie Cisco ! Haha 🤙
Do You guys live in Riverside area ?
Im thinking of putting this in my 1.1 150hp turbo seicento... do u think it will add good amounts of torque power ??
Random and Interesting Stuff
It’s definitely noticeable! It has been proven to increase power and torque in pretty much any application.
@@tbr.performance ok ty for ur time mate xD
Wow! Dangerous to run the waterline directly above the fuse box. I would have went on the opposite side. My water / meth line becomes insanely brittle after every summer.
Where is the tune video?
When did u install the fail safe?
sergsrt8 that’s probably the “flow safe solenoid” they neglected
sergsrt8 meaning the didn’t install it 🤦♂️
my stang looks exactly the same lol. black red stripes and red mirrors lol
My engine just started making a concerning noise at a low idle and changes with revs. 😭😭

Sold my Foc ST Stg3 because I got tired of getting smoked by 2017-19 full size Ram 1500 4 door long bed 5.7's. I could take them to 35 or 40 mph but they'd pass me by at 65 mph and be nearly 1 car ahead by 100. A hige, 6100+ lb truck with 375-390 hp. Now reality is that the Foc ST is really a 235-240 hp car. Heck everything with a turbo 4 between 220hp to 250 hp had no trouble keeping even with my Stg 3 FBO ST. Yes it was tuned. Slow cars they are in today's world. And I was sure as heck was not going to dump $3500+ into big turbo and supporting modds.
A few yrs back the ST stg3 was ok. It could put a few csrs on the older dodge hemi trucks and ecoboost F150's. To bad Ford didn't do a DCT trans and 295 hp in the ST.
What nozzle sized was used ?
Josh Lajeunesse
We used the one that came on the adapter. We didn’t swap it out. The tuner said that we didn’t need to swap it and it would work fine. I can’t recall off of the top of my head what the exact size was but we used the nozzle that came assembled on the fitting adapter.
Need to borrow a snowblower?
What BOV are you running?
bacchus thompson
The bov on that focus is a boomba. The bov on our focus (black with red stripes) is an hks.
@@tbr.performance I like the sound of the HKS a lot better... Just expensive as heck
That green wire isn't ground its ur boost safe
Tbh I always wondered how the meth system does on the st more videos with meth injection system would be dope

We will make a follow up video with all the lines ran clean and make a comparison before and after!
Trying to figure out the song. Anyone know?
Until we bleed
@@RudyaMorales thx man. Do u know what remix? I can't find the version that sounds like that
I dont i was trying to find it too. So far my favorite remix is eighty4fly
@@RudyaMorales that's all good. Thx again man

You should connect your power from acc not from your battery
You don’t mind hearing the pump all the time
you do not have to mount the tank lower than the nozzle as its powered by a 200psi pump to push the meth/water to the engine bay!!!!!
shizyaself you contradicted yourself bud if he thought it was gravity fed he would’ve mounted it higher than the nozzle for example a water fall doesn’t start low then go high because gravity is forcing the water down just like everything else in the world except your brain because you’re high if you can’t understand the most simple concept of gravity
NiCe 👍🤤😃
Should of got direct injection
Heh, a year later its even worse
great video, music was freaky in the background... not a fan
AEM, THEE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE COUNTRY. RUDE, OBNOXIOUS, PATHETIC AT BEST.
BUY SNOW PERFORMANCE AND NEVER BUY AEM !!!!
What's the music?
Will this kit work with the RS?
Anthony yes
