Just received my new setup from Eb Turbo (Cody) over at Tri Point engineering. It consists of the AEM V2 EMS plug and play and AEM marine coil setup. I asked for plug and play on the coil kit as well and he did exactly that. I did not have to cut or solder anything. As I am fan of plug and play products. Top notch quality of the plug and play harness as well as the sakebomb garage mount.

 

Looks great! Cody will be a great resource for anything you need to make the transition to AEM seamless.


My car is also running the AEM Series 2 and I love it. A buddy of mine also just got the exact same setup as you from Cody (AEM, patch harness, coil harness). He is running E85 with ID2000's as his primary injectors. I'm doing the install for him and I simply plugged it all in and the car fired up and held a perfect 13 AFR idle (it could never do that before with the large primaries and PFC). Needless to say he is extremely happy.

 

Also forgot to mention Cody integrated an additional harness into the patch harness to allow me to run 6 injectors. He supplied me with 6 injector dynamics id2000 at a very reasonable price. Cant wait to fire up my fd. Its been down for 8 months.

 

Sweet setup. Bang for the buck on these AEM units is high. Let's hope AEM releases the firmware update for flex fuel sensor capability.

I'd recommend avoiding other AEM units (e.g. AFR gages, fpr's, other coils, T/C's). Hope your tuning goes well.

 

Im glad you are happy with everything.

I have the beta firmware for the latest firmware. I am allowed to install it on any car I want but I cannot give out the software. It is already running on an FD.

We have had no major issues with the AEM UEGOs. AEM doesnt make any other coils or fuel pressure regulators for the Mazda line so I cannot comment on those.

Looks great, did they ever release the flex fuel firmware? I know Supra's have it already.

 

Yeah. Only Series II ECUs got the firmware update. It came out a week ago. So far so good. Are you running a Series I or a Series II?

EB Turbo

 

I'm running a Series I but I'm contemplating a upgrade depending on how good flex fuel works out. Do you have any example flex maps I can play with by chance?

 

You can download the series II software here. Catalog & Software Downloads - Wideband O2 UEGO, Water/Methanol, Stand Alone Engine Management, Piggyback F/IC, Tru Boost Controller, Gauges, Automotive Performance Electronics.

You will open the Series II Flex fuel workspace. You can open any base map. You can look at the Flex fuel, Flex O2 feedback, Flex Ignition, Flex boost and Flex start tabs. They are pretty much duplicates of the std tables. plus you can change the blend rate for each function. There are a bunch of Flex settings for you to look at. If you open the firmware notes for the 2x01 conversion there is a ton of information on each of the new flex fuel functions, it has a basic description on how flex fuel works and there is some notes how how to tune flex fuel. not just for E85 but how to convert maps to flex and set up the blend and failsafe channels. This will be found in the AEMTuner > instructions folder.

Still working on putting my car together. I will post some vids of the initial start up when I get there. Work and school have been hectic.

 

will this setup work with a 20b swap?

 

The Series II is designed for the 13b-REW. It can be adapted to work on a 20b but in its current form, No. The same thing for the coils. You need 6 coils for the 20b and the standard kits only mount 4. You can get everything you need it just wont be "off the shelf parts". They will either have to be custom or modified.

i see, guess i'll just have to call aem for a custom or modified one..thanks

 

AEM does not make custom kits. You need to get them from other companies.

nice work EB turbo , what is the difference between the AEM marine coil and the AEM smart coil?

 

None. Mercury Marine makes the coils that AEM sells. Some people call them different things.
