which EMS
Alright guys I'm totally new to this electronic engine control stuff so bear with me here please. I'm trying to build a computer into my car ( like a laptop). I already have the computer setup ready to go in and lcd touch screens to replace the guages and to go where the radio was. I have built the comp to control and monitor the audio system and now its time to start on the engine control system. I want to be able to control the ignition and fuel systems through the comp but I also want to be able to monitor the engine and its support systems through it as well (real-time logging/control). Since there is no software (that I can find) that will allow me to do this directly I am forced to use an EMS linked to the comp. This is where I'm having trouble, I'm not sure which EMS would be best for this in fact I don't know enough about them to even make an educated guess. Can some body help?
Thanks,Jon
Hey just found this: http://www.enginemanagement.com.au/index.php?cPath=23
Is this AEM as in the AEM everybody on this forum talks about? If it is I'm gonna feel like a real ***.

You may want to consider the Microtech or Wolf EMS that has a hand controller rather than attempting to integrate the EMS software into a multi-function display.
You can see the Microtech hand controller (carbon fiber look) here:

And the Wolf hand controller here (it's the silver colored box, and the round buttons have red lighting that you can't see in this picture):

There are two AEM EMS manufacturers that make products for rotary-powered vehicles:
1) AEM USA, which makes the Plug & Play EMS (Only works with the FD RX-7, but you can special-order a universal unit).

2) AEM Australia, which makes the Wolf EMS

Thanx for the info, Jon

Yeah I down loaded the wolf 3d user manual (thought it was the software) and it has been very educational! I'm checking into a couple others as well so I'll have a well rounded idea of whats out there.
Thanx again, Jon
