AEM Series 2 EMS
Hi everyone,
I figured I'd post here about the current project I'm trying to do. I'm currently working with FSR motorsports out in Montclair to get the series 2 EMS working on my FD. I'm doing this along with going single and a bunch of other stuff so the project is still in the works. I'll post more progress as the project gets under way. Anyone else tried using a series 2 EMS on their FDs?

The conversion is pretty straight forward. Any good AEM tuner should be able to do the conversion. I'm hoping someone will come to Tri-Point to have a conversion done.

We do a fair amount of series I ecus. No one has asked for a series II conversion but if anyone wants one we will be more then happy to do it. The series II has its benefits but its really nothing significant. So spending the extra money probably isn't really worth it. I would want one if I had the option. The series II editor has some cool options that makes it a lot easier to tune. Not that the series I is difficult by any means.

EB have you heard anything about their new Infinity series of ECU's?
http://forum.aempower.com/forum/index.php?topic=28808.0
Would be nice if this drove down the prices of the series 2 units.

The infinity-10 is going to be a lot more expensive then the SeriesI/II ECU's. Without a lot of PnP applications I doubt it will be a big seller right out of the gate to those other then full standalone and custom applications. Don't expect the price of Series II ECUs coming down anytime soon. The ECUs that we will be using are cheaper then the 30-1800. So once you factor in the conversion harness and engineering costs, you may be $100-$200 more then the cost of the 30-1800.

We will be releasing a Series II PnP kit hopefully by the beginning of next year.

Series II ecus have the general CAM, Crank, TPS, IAC, ECT, MAP, MAF and a few more spare inputs for EGT and 0-5v signals. up to 16 general purpose outputs(12Low Side, 4 High Side), 8 definable switch inputs, it only has 2 PWM outputs. Things can be done to turn one of the injector outputs into a PWM output.
Both will work with the FC CAS and the FD trigger wheel. Both will work with whatever coil you want to use. If the coils you want to use do not have an internal igniter you will need to add one. You can run wasted leading or sequential ignition.
You cannot run the OMP with the EMS-4. I don't believe it has the DC motor control. or it just doesn't have the available features to run it. the editors work very similar, they both are able to run staged injection and trailing timing.

well arent around 750cc some of the biggest saturated injectors you can get your hands on?
That really bites..
Then to me this is its largest and only drawback. 8 GPIO will work perfectly for the setup Id like to do. I'm going to this ecu mostly for multi-gear boost control and closed loop operation (coming from a microtech)

Alright I've priced the thing out.
AEM EMS-4 $640
96" harness W fuseblock $197
Then as far as ignition...
1. 4 coils crane LX92's or AEM COP $268 ($67x4)
2. Either the AEM 4 channel ignitor for $139
or a very expensive 4 channel CDI box.
I have heard bad bad things about every 4 channel CDI box made except for the Autronic 500r or the motec equivalent.
or the 2 single channel CDI box method with something running the trailings would seem to be cost effective. Maybe using two of the AEM 4 channel ignitor box to fire the trailings.

AEM does make a smart coil that works really well. I would recommend those or the LS2 truck coils. that way you will not have to use an ignitor.
When you buy from eBay for really cheap and you run into problems you are not able to get the support you need from the seller. Then when you try and call AEM and they may not have all of the information needed to help you fix your issues. We sell our products for the lowest allowable advertised price from the manufacture. I will contact you through PM to pass along my information.

I can updated a little since it's been awhile. As luck would have it, FSR knows someone who owns an FD and has experience designing PCB's. They custom built a circuit board to work with a Series 2 EMS so we won't have to repin and it should just plug right up. The EMS and custom PCB will be here in a week or two. I'll update with more information when I get everything in.
