if i got a ems for the 00 teg and i buy a 96 teg... can i just use a obd2a - obd2b harness and get the ems to work normally?

 

bump so i can sell him the aem if it will work

 

my first thought is yes, but i would look on the aem website under the forum search around. next thing i would due is find the ems that goes with the 96 teg , and then the one that goes with the 00 teg, and then in the software installation section there is a bunch of pdfs that list what pins goes where.

you might even be able to get it to work without the conversion harness by moving the nessesary pins around according to the pin out diagram for your car and the 00 ems.

but almost 100% that with an conversion harness it will work.

 

u'd need the obd2b-obd2a

 

get the harness and load the maps from the ems made for your car

 

all i got to add is that if u upgrade firmware, make sure u compare calibrations to make sure everything is right. for some reason, when i did mine, my ignition tooth changed and had me running around in circles trying to figure out why i was detonating.

 

If you are planning to buy the EMS just buy the correct one. Why complicate things by using the converter harness?

The AEM EMS is complicated as it is and I guarantee you will have some small issues to begin with. The last thing you want to do is trouble little BS issues that could be avoided by getting the correct box.

However, if you already own the box then the decision is up to you.

 

but im selling it to him 870 bran new shipped

LOL...in that case the decision is on him.

 

ok...i just thought of something. its a 99 ls motor...going into a 00 civic...even though the ems is for a obd2a motor....it still plugs into the civic harness....will it work properly?

It might work in that case. The only way to find out is to make sure the pin-outs are in the right spots.

 

Get hold of Jason ( Blown90hatch) He can make you a harness that will be right.
We buy all kinds of funky harnesses off him, He will anwser your Qs too.

 

the ems will work fine with a jumper harness.. just make sure to use the base calibration for the specific ems you have

b_ron... if you read the instructions on the ems forum about updating the firmware it specificly states that you should resync the timing

Correct sir. It will work fine. I have noticed a few differences when running an OBD1 distributor, but still no problems.
