Hey everybody.. Well I have a 01 S2K with a comptech supercharger with I/H/E and dont really have the money to use a AEM stand alone but the car needs a good tune.. whats your suggestions on what I should do to get it running maybe not at 100% but to where it will be safe and strong..

 

save the money and get the AEM... def not worth cheaping out on one of the key factors in FI...

 

I hear ya but 1200 dollars for that plus the costs of tuning just out of the budget right now.. I also bought the car with the SC already on it plus it has a apex neo and a fmu already installed

 

Well if that's enough to keep it "safe" then at least you already have a little protection. As said before, don't cheap out on tuning equipment when you're running FI on a N/A car. Unless you'd rather pay for a new f20. Take your pick, 1200 + tuning, or a couple of grand for a new engine, and probably a new charger. Just save up.

 

a cheap alternative is Greddy emanage ultimate, its not the best but has full tuning capability. all you need it the jumper harness and the Emanage unit.. possibly around 700 new.

 

cool thanks for the advise Im gonna be taking it to RLZ in concord, NC in a couple weeks and see what all they can do.. but yeah $1200 compared to a new f20 dont sound bad..lol

 

which AEM stand alone is for a 01 S2K? I now there is a few different AEM models..

 

good choice... plus u can redline the **** out of ur car without worrying that the damn thing is gonna blow up...

 

I hope you are running a small amount of boost currently correct? 5psi?

 

yeah its at 5.5 psi right now but it leans out so I just been very easy on it.. but other than that the car runs great

 

Yea, it sounds like for the time being you're in the safe zone..

but it'd be much better to save up for the AEM or Kpro

 

what model AEM is for a AP1?

 

wont find anyting cheaper
eeeeeeeeehhhhhhh....Have you used the emanage? its not as good as it sounds and the car wont gun as good as it could on a full stand alone...

1052







IM PMing you, buy my aem ems for 800!!!

 

jarret...buy his aem for $800!!!!!!

 

You can get used AEM's for around 800$, sometimes less. You will also need injectors.

 

what size injectors should I run?

 

maybe 650cc or better yet 750cc and you should be happy...how much power do you want out of your car in the long run? are you happ wit 350 or 400 or do you want crazy numbers???

 

Injector Dynamics 725cc

^^ Those are going to be a purchase for my Comptech setup this year. I have been running RC440cc for the past year. I want slightly lower duty cycles and those ID injectors are said to be phenomenal.

 

Ok took the car to RLZ and the car could still not be tuned with the FMU the car still is way to lean so Im gonna go with the AEM and bigger injectors anything else you guys suggest I get/do?

 

I'd pull it until it can be properly tuned.

 

Agreed! I love my AEM and the car runs so much smoother than other cars on FIC or Emanage Ult.

Wrong car with FI for a small budget imo then. Slowly save and you won't regret AEM EMS

I have Injector Dynamic 725 and they run great. They will be up for sale in a month so I can go bigger and if you haven't found anything LMK.

 

thanks for the info.. got the money now for the EMS just waiting to see If can get a good deal on one a used one before I order a new one.. gotta get the S ready for the east coast honda meet!

 

I think I need to get me an EMS, too.

 

Well Just got the car back from the garage after install of the AEM, 840cc injectors, and walboro fuel pump the S made 288hp at the wheels.. Car the really pulls at 8000 and up rpms

 

sweet... what was your base pull???
