Hi guys, how many people have done the AEM EMS on the 20B?
Just wondering...

I know Microtech and Haltech are more popular on teh 20B, but we have had great success with teh AEM EMS on the other cars...

i would like to know this too

 

I've been using one for over a year now. It took a little while to become familiar with the software, but the features outweigh the learning curve.

 

Iron, have you verified your timing at high rpm? The ONLY reason I haven't put it on my 13b is because Demetrios has been told by a couple of his friends (including an employee of electromotive) that it doesn't control timing well. If I can find some factual evidence that this is not the case I will throw it on my car in a heart beat.

I really like the software. It's nice that they list the pressure/rpm scale on the tables rather than on a seperate setting page. I also like the fact that the pressure unit can be changed from Bar to psi ect.

 

C,
Just wanted to clarify my finidings with the AEM. The unit was installed on a test bench and displayed timing drift and spark scatter. The same test bench was used for testing other ecu's wich did not display the same symptoms.

Mr. Dee,

A couple of weeks ago I brought this topic up with Mitch at AEM tech support. He said they had an accuracy problem with crank angle sensor configuration on the Eclipse ECUs, but it has been resolved. What version of the ECU was bench tested (rx7, eclipse)? Will such a test confirm if the ECU is using the crank angle sensor hardware correctly?

 

Yes the test used a stock rx7 trigger wheel setup with the rx7 ecu.

 

hrmm, not good news...
thats what i was planning on going with also.

 

You might want to ask AEM about trying to get an FD3S stock ignition trigger to work with their 20B set-up?

I am starting my swap this week and will be useing my AEM EMS to control it since I have a T78 single turbo and dont need the extra outputs to control the turbo solinoids on the sequensial setup.

 

The thing that I don't like about the aem is that it does not have peak and hold injector drivers, hence you have to run a resistor box......Why would an ems company release a ecu that does not correctly fire a peak and hold when 95% of the people using it are using these injectors????

Just my .02

 

The AEM works well on the RX-7. I've done a few with great results. The problem I think that most are having is that some setting are not setup correctly in the software, once you fix that everything works fine.

If forcefed is having good luck with it I'm sure they must have resolved some of there hardware issues of the past.

Ray ever use any the aem on a 20b install?
