Hey all,
I'm new to AEM world, and looking to add some gauges to my FD.
It has a series 1 ECU installed and tuned, so I'd rather not replace it if I don't need to.
I'm looking to find some gauges that can receive sign from the ECU directly, rather than having to run extra sensors/piping/wiring specifically for them.
Want to start with boost, water & oil temp, and oil & fuel pressure.
I was hoping to get something like the aem 30-0312 multi gauge, but as far as I can tell, none of the newer gauges work with the series 1.
Alternatively, adding Aemnet canbus to it would be good too. Except 03-2228 to add that is of course discontinued.
Anyone have some idea what to look at, or a good source of I fo to read on this?
Thanks!

 

the parameters you want to monitor are INPUTS to the ecu. as you already know, to get those INPUTS to OUTPUT to a display you must go back in time and acquire the piece to do so. alternatively, you can get lucky and find a used one for sale somewhere. if you want what you want then you will need to fold on something. you will either need to upgrade your ecu or add sensors..... or travel to the past...... or find aemnet used somewhere.

 

If you really want the old discontinued AEM gauge, your best bet might be to search for someone selling an old one they don't need anymore. The size and cost is different than a little gauge, but some of the AIMSports dashes from that era could interpret the Serial/RS232 data from AEM series1 computers as well. FYI the AEM Series1 didn't measure or broadcast fuel pressure, you would need to do tricky scaling using one of the spare analog inputs to make that work.
