Does this mean if we get enough firm orders for the FD plug and play we can get it a lot sooner than 6-02?

Is the race version the same price, except you have to wire it??

Ken

 

You will have to talk to sales about pricing.

Jason.

 

does the automatic require the race version?

 

No, unless you want to control the automatic, instead of the factory trans ecu.

Jason.

 

hey jason,
i thought the trans ecu is located inside the factory ecu. am i wrong?. i want to keep the hold function, its a must. i guess im one of the few, that has actually confirmed an order on the group buy. i just want to know which one i need. thx for taking the time to answer an auto owners quests.
brad

 

i am just stupid or what? all i want to know is if i can mantain the hold function with the regulur aem, or i need the race version. look like ill be going with the pfs pms, unfortuanately
brad

 

I'm defanitely getting the AEM, i'd confirm an order, but now I need to rebuild my tranny, I'll need a little over month to get the money to buy it now....... thath box has som many features, why would you not wait? I'll just be patient.....

 

Why not wait? Because AEM has no history of providing something like this. Because some people have race's to go to, and would rather be driving instead of hearing, of a Jan, Feb, March, late May release date. How do we know if it will be half of what its cracked up to be??? I've got some cheap land I'll sell you in Fla. I too think that over time this may be a great ECU, but its from the same people that bring you all those great intakes for Honda's and before has offered nothing for RX-7 what so ever.

 

You are wrong the FD auto trans has its own ecu that is totally seperate from the engine ecu.

My Understanding is (Jason correct me if I am wrong) The PnP AEM ecu will maintain all the stock Auto functions including the Hold but not Reprogram the actual shift paterns, but the race version may be able to controll the trans directly.

 

so do i need the plug and play or the race version?

 

See my edit above

 

yeah max, that makes sense to me. i just would like to know for sure. i think i might need to get a pfs pms until this wait is over. i installed my dp, now my boost pattern is around 12-10-12.

I just received this from AEM, I'm going to wait for this product.

"Ken,

As promised, I just came out of an EMS meeting. The release of the RX-7 box
has been moved slightly to 6-15-02. This looks very firm, as progress has
been good with the box.

I will keep you informed as to any changes.

Kirk Miller"
