Wow, really? I loved growing up there back in the day, but Cali sure is crazy strict with anything car related nowadays. Maybe make a trip to Tahoe to buy a truck load of it from Nevada.

Our goal is to eventually test it on an NA car as well as with the currently available superchargers too. We built a dedicated portable WMI test rig just for dyno testing purposes. Our future prototype Innovate SC intake and NA intake elbow will likely include a pre-installed WMI bung too.

Hang tight for now, we'll make it happen.

Here are a couple of installed pics. Our PTUNING WMI System will require the use of a mini battery. Our billet battery tray is designed to fit over half a dozen style mini batteries. Shown in the pics below is the ultra-light 5 lb. Shorai lithium battery. For PTUNING customers who already have our mini-battery tray system, we can sell you the WMI System minus the battery tray.

(Shown with cover removed for access to AEM WMI control knobs)



(Shown with protective, anti-tamper cover in place. Safe for car meets, etc. )

Toan spent a good and much appreciated 30 minutes on the phone with me talking about the WMI setup for my personal car which probably piloted some of these awesome custom maps they now can provide. This is, imo, the best possible setup for people that want to run 93 octane pump gas, and still make excellent power without having to worry about wmi failure, or running out of water / meth. This is a very well thought out system. Precisely why I brought my car 450 miles to the shop

We're currently working on converting this bundle of wires into a clean PnP WMI harness.

Shown in the pic is our custom WMI pump mounting bracket. We've designed the bracket using PEMS inserts to make pump installation simpler. No more messing with tiny standard sized nuts and bolts. Also, the bracket is designed to fit on both the driver or passenger side bumper supports for installation versatility.

For those that have asked about NA testing, we'll eventually be testing our WMI system on one of our tech's NA FR-S with PTUNING Exhaust and 4-1 Header. We'll likely be using a modified stock intake system for this test.

We just finished putting together our first production PnP WMI wiring harness. We're waiting on a few new waterproof connector plugs for the pump to arrive before we install and test this first production WMI system.

Since our WMI tank and battery mounting system is made out of aluminum, the entire assembly is very lightweight. Our WMI/battery tray assembly (minus pump) with a full tank of 50/50 water methanol mix is only 14.25 lbs. If we couple this with our current 4.5 lb Shorai Lithium Ion battery, we end up at just under 19 lbs. This is over 10 lbs lighter than the factory battery that we replace.
