AEM's Engine Management System (EMS)

God's Gift To Tuning. Best thing since turbos and AWD, really. This is a complete replacement ECU. A full standalone ECU that saves you a week of wiring hassle and a week of tuning set up. It is plug and play, which means you plug it in and start playing with it. It has start up base maps that get you going but you will need access to a wide band O2 sensor for tuning. Some dyno time would be a good idea too. You will need to put in some time for idle set up. Ignition maps are great to start with. Fuel tuning to 95% capability can be done in a good 2-3 hour drive late at night. AEM is providing a level of tech support for this system previously unheard of and unimaginable for such a product. This makes a stand alone ECU finally cost effective for the average guy (for better and for worse:)

Go to AEM's web site and read everything about it if you are considering one. Go to their message board and read all the info there too. Then go to Autronic's web site, Motec's web site and Haltech's web site. See the difference, compare the features. There isn't really anything you can't do with the EMS that will cost you twice the price or more with the competing systems. Then factor in AEM's technical support. If you read and comprehend all the info on the AEM web site, you will be sold. If the info there is over your head, then stick to the Apex AFC or the HKS VPC. There should be no questions. If you have to ask why you need it or if you should get the EMS vs. some other system, you didn't understand it and it isn't for you. If you like it, start finding a buyer for your alphabet soup of add-on electronic gadgets that it will replace. Sell them all and your stock ECU and the EMS is over 1/2 paid for.

Only a few of the many features are:
Full 3D mapping of fuel, ignition, idle, O2 sensor feedback, and knock control. Internal or lap top datalogging  included. It has a dash feature that you program. Control additional injectors, sprayers, solenoids, NOS, antilag, boost by vehicle speed,  auto tune with a wide band O2 sensor, individual cylinder trims, EGT inputs, two step rev limiter, washes your socks and has AutoSuck. It includes base programs for MAS and MAP sensors. For the Eclipse guys, it works fine with 1G CAS with no OBD-2 issues for 6 bolt motor swap guys. Currently available and in stock for the applications listed below. It is NOT for the 2G Eclipse NT cars.

This ECU is not smog legal, not OBD-2 compliant.

 

RRE's Special EMS Floating Price Structure:

Ask a 1,000 stupid questions, you want it because you can make "Manifold Danger" on the dash feature, ask if it comes in colors, will it turn on the under car neon lights... $3000
Ask a lot of good questions, ask if it is better than a DSM Link, don't read the AEM message board, don't down load the software. $2000
Smart guy, deep tuning knowledge, give useful feed back, been there, done that, tired of being limited by piggyback boxes, you are on a genuine knowledge quest and live for tweaking on your car. Download the software first and familiarize yourself with it. Print out the instructions and tuning tips and actually read them. Read on the AEM EMS message board 'till your eyes bleed.

What do you "need" to run the EMS? Nothing other than the EMS to make the car run. But ideally you would get rid of the air flow meter and run it in speed density (or pressure based, same thing). To do this you need to buy a pressure sensor (boost sensor or MAP sensor, all the same thing). Also since the factory air intake temperature sensor is built into the air flow meter, you will need to buy one of those too. The AEM boost sensor is over double the price of the GM boost sensor, but it is much better. More accurate and more consistent. The GM AIT sensor is fine and very affordable. But you will need a 3/8" NPT fitting welded into the intercooler piping somewhere between the intercooler and the throttle body. A wide band UEGO (AEM or other brand) air fuel ratio set up is also very necessary. The AEM EGT connected into the EMS is a nice luxury but not totally necessary,

 

AEM Sensors

 Other Sensors

KAV-3BAR Kavlico 3.5 BAR MAP sensor. This is the original rockin sensor that AEM used back in the beginning. AEM got into a tiff with Kavlico and went to another supplier. This allows us to now get them smoking cheap. This is your best option for many reasons. Accuracy, price and durability. $110
KAV-5BAR Kavlico 5 BAR MAP sensor. This is the original rockin sensor that AEM used back in the beginning. AEM got into a tiff with Kavlico and went to another supplier. This allows us to now get them smoking cheap. This is your best option for many reasons. Accuracy, price and durability. $119
GM-3BAR GM 3 Bar Map Sensor, includes connector. Measures up to ~32 psi. Uses hose fitting. You really will be much happier with the AEM sensor, but if you want to be a cheap ass and fight with with this one, hey... we got it for you. The AEM sensor is much more consistent.  $60

AEM Serial Gauge         $275

Monitor 19 Vital Engine Parameters in One Unit with AEM’s Serial Gauge!
AEM’s Serial Gauge plugs into AEM's EMS and has the ability to read 19 channels simultaneously to provide reference for all outputs, including boost, AFR, EGT, H2O, IAT, knock, volts, RPM, vehicle speed, and more! Since it can read all channels at once, AEM’s Serial Gauge eliminates the need to buy a cluster of gauges, or you can link multiple Serial Gauges together to monitor additional channels or to divide your readouts across a few gauges.

The Serial Gauge includes a user-selectable LED display allowing users to set vehicle specific limits, warnings, display ranges and operating ranges. This unit runs the standard EMS datastream by default, and includes 12 preset channels and seven user-selectable channels that are custom-configurable through the PC interface, allowing you to monitor practically anything attached to a sensor. AEM’s Serial Gauge includes user-programmable MIN/MAX storage for EVERY channel and records MIN/MAX values even if you are not using the function—if it’s in the stream the gauge records it. Red, yellow and green LEDs and the center three-digit display are fully user-programmable as well, making this a truly custom configurable unit. Users can set alarms for each channel so that when the signal exceeds a value the Gauge notifies you by flashing all LEDs and switching to the channel where the value was exceeded. User-selectable qualifiers eliminate false warning lights, and the unit includes two outputs to trigger ancillary warning lights based on user selectable conditions. The Serial Gauge also includes user-selectable alarm priority in the event multiple alarms sound, allowing you to set alarm readouts in your order of priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AEM’s Serial Gauge includes interchangeable silver and black bezels and pin guides, and black and white faces for a customizable look. Quick-Connect technology allows you to install the gauge and connect the wiring separately for easy installation and less chance of damage to the circuit board. The Serial Gauge includes a harness, wiring to connect to the EMS, a daisy-chain adapter for linking multiple gauges to one EMS and software for a trouble-free installation.
