what do you guys think about aem ems? is it worth the money?

 

Definetely worth it if you know a good tuner that has worked with them before. If you want to learn to tune it yourself, it takes a lot of reading and patience and a good wideband.

 

worth every penny

 

Probably the best investment i've ever bought!
Buy it, Plug it in, Call JDogg. You will be a happy camper

 

 

its great. just hope you know alot about tuning or you have alot of money to pay someone who does.

 

i love mine, it is worth it by far, a good electronic boost controler is 500, ems is only 700 more

 

best thing I put into my ride..so many options I never get bored with it..

I agree its one of if not the best ems out there and as far as kdogg goes he kicks ***!

 

not good for daily driving / commute - idle algorithm can't touch honda's. you'll stall a lot in traffic unless they made big changes since 1.03

other than that it is excellent. and i learned a lot about engine management control systems from it.

Joe maybe you just need a real tuner like Mase to tune your system J/K

I have been running 1.03 for a few years and have had no idle issues. I do have it running a little richer at idle and it seems to work fine. Every once in a while when it is super hot out it might stall like once.

But yes the AEM system has come a long way since version .73

 

no idle issues here either. and yes just like everybody else said. very good investment

 

mine idles just like stock..never had it die on me..

Iam on V1.19 thou...

idle is not hard at all to tune, just takes some time that people dont want to pay for or novice "tuners" dont know how to.

 

for me tuning AEM is easier than hondata..dunno maybe Iam just used to it..

 

I don't have idle problems either. I have nothing but good things to say about the AEM. I am glad I am not having problems with it. I have tuned quite a few cars with the AEM EMS with great success.

It is worth every penny. You can find it for cheap sometimes, I got mine for like 750 with wideband. I am not sure if anyone will find a deal like that...But find the guys that are not capable of tuning it that just wanna get rid of it. They are everywhere.

I am betting you guys are better drivers than i am. Sloppy clutchwork is my style

 

just get someone to tune it that knows what they are doing and you will be happy... also the datalogging features it has are great.

Is one of the box's better then the other ones? I remember someone saying something about the 1040 is a more reliable box and the other ones had problems. Im not sure how true this is just figured id ask.

Andy I got mine for $700 used 1040U box JDogg tuned mine He is gonna do some fine tuning now also, driveability and such

 

the newer boxs are a little better because to run a hall sensor you just re-pin a jumper and dont have to solder in resistors and crap..
