Quarantine Project: AEM WMI
One good thing about quarantine, and that my job is still having us remote into work, is that I can leave the car gutted and slowly work towards a nice clean install (vs the starts job-gets late-panic sets in-must reassemble before work).
Running BM3 Stage 2, I always had a problem getting clean timing with CT 93 octane gas. Even running 93 on the 91 tune gave some crap timing. Heard from a friend that he went with WMI and his timings were spot on...so i figured I'd dive in. First time ever doing WMI, and I gotta be honest, the F36 really makes it super easy to do a nice stealth install (especially if you have the bms tank). No cutting needed, and for the AT guys, no need to tear into the firewall grommet since we have a plug where typically the clutch lines run through.

Ugh you had to go there didn't you (i was trying to avoid thinking about my all in cost LOL)...
AEM WMI - 30-3302 Kit - $404 (ebay best offer, new) BMS Stealth Tank - $229 AEM WMI Filter - 30-3003 - $31.65 SNOW Boost Juice (4 pack) - $46.59 Optional if you dont already have: Stanless steel 1/8 NPT to 1/8 barb for boost reference 16 AWG wires to extend harness (you will need this if your running from glove box to trunk) Add-a-fuse (you will need this to tap to IGN source for the ARM switch) As far as performance - I personally didn't do it for that. I did it because our CT gas is iffy and I was getting some poor timing on the Stage 2 BM3 map. However, I suspect you should be able to run the e30 map with this, so there is added performance there. The kit in-and-of itself wont give you added performance as is.

The issue with running a E30 map for the purposes of targeting higher timing with pump gas + meth is that the E30 map is going to command more fuel from the DI on the assumption you are running ethanol. That is going to cause the car to run rich even before you account for the meth. Add the meth on top of that and fuel trims are going to be very negative and you are always going to have rich spots, especially on tip in before the O2 and STFTs can respond. |

Honestly I didn't. I'm going to see how long a full tank lasts me and gauge how often to check. Certainly dont want to overheat the pump by running it dry, so that's my concern there. I dont mind spot checking it every other week or so (i do the same for my catch can so it will just become part of my 'routine')
