Engine
-
Water Methanol (WMI) - Note: Ultimately I wanted a system with a failsafe mechanism. The failsafe mechanism protects the engine in case of WMI failures. Currently bm3 maps for N20 don’t support it yet, but What I planned in the installation is to have an ON/OFF switch. Assuming I am runing low on meth while cruising, I will tun it off and load a safer BM3 map that doesn’t use the WMI system. the Video explains it well.
