Has anybody had any success on tuning the AEM ?

Okay, let me clarify, I'm looking for feedback of AEM Custumers, not hearsay. I havd had a mildly modded car run on the AEM, and that's no real feat.

I'm looking for single turbo, street port, etc... Things that alter the characteristics of the way Fuel & Air are delivered, above and beyond stock...

Also if you got it running, I'd like a small breakdown of costs, just for tuning, and dyno time. To get the EMS working... If you have another EMS besides AEM i'd like the same info posted with the EMS manufacturer... no need to fill out the poll.

RX6 single, 850/1600 injectors, high flow cat, fmic, HKS twin power, Blitz SBC-id boost controller. It took me about a month to get the car running decent at 12psi, but that's on and off. The plan is to get to 18psi. So far there is no tuning cost involved. I will be tuning the ignition map on a dyno after the fuel map is completed.
Took care of the TPS problem, still need to take some time to work out the AC control issue.

Thanks,

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) in the factory wireing diagrams is supposed to be wired one way, and in reality all cars, and their ecu's run it different than the wireing diagram indicates... the AEM ecu was built based on the factory wireing diagrams, and not an actual car...


I'm just having a LOT of troubble tuning my setup, and everywhere I turn people (Tuners) comment on how convoluted and cumbersome the AEM box is compared to others.... I'm sure there's worse, but for right now I've dumped $$$$ into this and I just want to know what the success rate is.... allthough the poll will be lop-sided since people who have given up on it won't come here just to see if they can bitch about something.... I know if I decide to move on, I'll check this section very infrequenctly, but for now, I'm still here

Ray Wilson at PFS is routinely installing them and tuning them. I think he has it well figured out.
