Aem New Ems!!!

The AEM EMS is being released 01/20/02 for the 3rd gen rx7! It's plug & play, 16/32 bit hybrid processor.

If anyone is going to SEMA, I would highly recommend stopping by the AEM booth. Yes, I know AEM hasn't made much for the Supra's. There is a new Engine Management System that will controll all of the stock Turbo actuators, Automatic transmission controlls and still have plenty of left over outputs to controll anything you desire. The system plugs directly into the stock wiring harness with no wiring adapters (the ECU has the supra plug built in to it). All of the functions are user definable. It has 6 times the functions of a Motec M48 Pro, built in datalogging up to 1 meg (or about 45 minutes of logging all channels). The Software is all Windows based, and very easy to use. The system will sell for under $2k complete. Absolutely nothing needs wired, cut or spliced. The stock ECU can be re-installed at any time for dealer warranties, or smog (did I say that, of course not). Believe me, this thing is bad-***. Oh, it also comes with a complete dyno tuned base map, so start up is as easy as plugging in the stock ecu.
For more info go read AEM INFO .

happy rotoring.
P.S. Kurt (forgot his lastname) reknown tuner was just down at Primespeed and had a 3 hour conversation with Barry about this unit. It's gonna be HOT! I also know the prices too! IMHO I think it's going to be better then the Haltech, PFC, Motec.

I've been reading up about it for the last little while. Do anyone know if the released version will have o2 autotune features incorporated into it.

I think Tec III came out a little while ago, so much hype and talk but I've never heard anything since....its been damn queit on their end.

You would be better off using the harness they give you with the Wolf 3D. Being able to use the stock harness isn't a big deal, as the Wolf 3D harness comes fully assembled.

The TEC II has that feature too with the Wintec software. I wouldn't recommend using it because you're relying heavily on your O2 sensor for the car to run well.

The TEC II will also make a map for your your setup, but not for rotaries.

Check out http://www.wolfems.com.au/wolf_home_page.html . It will be able to do a good job with that setup. I have a Wolf 3D with a T-78 and it works well. The Wolf 3D V4 will be much better.

My Wolf 3D's MAP sensor reads up to about 21 or 23 PSI, but I've been told I can run 25 PSI with that sensor. They will do an upgrade to allow you to run 30 PSI. I'm not sure about V4, but it will do at least as much as the old one can. 23 PSI on a T-88 is going to make ALOT of power. You'll probably need to run race gas at that kind of boost.

I was just reading the thread for the Supra forum... sounds really nice. The supra version comes with a 3bar map sensor. You can control your twin turbo transition points if you are still running the twins, OMP operation, pretty much everything you can do with the Apexi software, but everyone will get the software... not just one company on the whole USA... Wouldn't that just be sweet justice for them to put the burn on Apexi? Why they wouldn't release the software for the PFC I will never understand... too greedy and now it is going to bite them in the ***. Whoever made the decision not to release the software for the PFC really should be shitcanned. I only hope he made a few bucks while he had no competition...

Tell me more about this new computer anyone...

Also tell me about this auto tune. Do you just put in a air/fuel ratio, you would like to see, and it sets it up for you or what?

Very interesting. CJ

Though it would work with a regular POS o2 sensor, it was designed to be used with a wideband. there is no better way to tune your car than with a wideband o2 sensor. Now, whether I would trust the map that the ecu made for me... now thats a different question. I would think that a map that the ecu made would be an EXCELLENT starting point for custom tuning because I've heard that it is not perfect.

Electromotive gives you a 4 wire sensor. I don't know of anybody who uses that "self-tuning" feature.

The thing that I like about the AEM the most is not the self tuning or any of that stuff, its that they are picking up where Apexi left off by letting anyone have the software. I like my PFC, but I don't like only being able to go to one place to have it tuned, regaurdles of weather XS is honest or good or not, it is just plain unAmerican to not have more than one place to go. No competition breeds something terrible. Even if that person or people are very decent and honest folk, I don't like having only one option. Sure ther are other places that will tune your PFC through the commander but they can't do the cool stuff like lower the fan temp or alter the base map etc.

The Wintec self tuning feature on the Electromtive units is just to get a base map so you can run the car. It was never intented to be used to fine tune the car. Dyno tuning and tunign with a wide band is still recommended.

I thought they were talking about the mode in which the TEC II will adjust fuel and ignition according to the O2 sensor readings: EGO feedback correction.

Some buddies of mine are going to be trying the ECU out shortly on their FD. The features I like the most about the ECU would be the 4-bar map sensor capability and the on-board wideband monitoring.

I found out that the TEC II can be used with a 4 bar sensor. I never knew that until I saw a car on their webpage running 45 PSI. Then I checked my catalog and saw that a 4 bar sensor was a special order item.

Haltech also offers a 5-bar map sensor but not a 4-bar.
HMMMM 5-bar=60psi!
The AEM is also supposed to run up to 10 injectors in sequential mode!
