i'm sure it's been answered a thousand times, but after the third page in the archives, i just figured i'd ask:

how much boost can an EMS control
does it have a built in boost controller
does it have a built in turbo timer

 

Dont know about the boost, but doubt you'll get there.

Yes it can control boost.

No it cant function as a turbo timer.

 

well, form what i've heard (rumors, varying in number each time, nothing certain), it can only handle about 12 psi.... i will EASILY exceed that

 

um...there is no way it can only handle 12 psi..the supra guys are boosting so much more. Your STOCK mapsensor may max out around there but the unit itself will not. Get a 3 bar mapsensor and you'll easily handle 20+ psi..

 

It can handle any boost level, as long as you have the correct MAP sensor to read that level, enough fuel, and a strong enough motor.

AEM sells 5 bar map sensors for use with the EMS if you need them.

Using the factory honda map sensor with actual fuel management, the ~12psi is the most you can run before the voltage output from the sensor peaks.

 

so.... if i get an EMS, with a 5bar map sensor, then theoretically, i could boost in excess of 40 psi, correct?

 

~60psi

 

well then... i guess i could push those GE sleeves to the limit ... what woule i need for that, like some 1300cc injectors

how cool would that be, 60psi on a Honda engine

 

Not that cool. You would run out of money spent on transmissions before you even got to the end of the 1/4.

 

hahahaha.... yeah, but the idea behind it is still cool

 

the STOCK sensor handles 12psi... and it can accept any 5v map sensor so it's virtually unlimited

and it can be setup as a turbo timer, even better since it can shutoff the car dependant on coolant temp, etc...

 

Last word on the AEM EMS forum was that it couldnt be done. Anything new?

 

Well everyone here was saying it COULD do TT funtions, so there seems to be plenty of mis-information floating around and certainly lots of confusion.

 

**** it, it all seems to complicated, i'll just go with my original olan and go with a Hondata s200

 

That's what I said....I wanted the EMS so bad but it's twice as much as Hondata and does a lot more than I will probably ever need, and I already have a TT so I'm set

 

just played around with tt and it works... not with factory alarm... you can't turn it on until car shuts off, but car will still lock... but the timer works as advertised

 

Sorry for the misinformation
