Running AEM Water/Meth kit through Nitrous setting

Post by freeme62410 »

My setup:
K20a3 ep3
JRSC-R 3.2 in pulley @ 12psi
KRRH, KPRO3, INJEN CAI, AEM WATER/METH

Here's my question. I'm using the AEM supplied meth kit which comes with a little computer that detects errors with the pump, lines, ground or anything so that IF there are any problems supplying meth to the intake, then there is a wire that I can run into kpro via a pin that would allow me to pull timing and increase fuel to prevent any engine damage caused by tuning my car for meth (with higher ignition and less fuel). Generally when nitrous is "armed" you are using an input and output switch and you are increasing igntion and fuel and so forth, but with this, when it is armed, i just need it to pull timing. So should I select the "invert arming switch" or how should I do this? Thanks in advance.

Correct me if I'm wrong please. From how I understand it, the "boostsafe" mechanism via AEM grounds the wire when it's active. It activates due to an error code in the aem system. So if I connect the boostsafe wire to kpro via either the e29 service switch or the vtec pressure switch (which states "grnd = on") then that will arm nitrous, which I can set to pull timing and increase fuel to safe levels in the event that methanol fails???

This is correct.

Can you please explain to me what "invert arming switch" would do in this situation?

If open was on, then inverting would mean closed was on.
