Who would be interested in the AEM Plug and Play Computers ? And what are your opionions on it? Looking to do a group buy on them for all the HT people. Reserves your now. We will be the first ones with them .

 

Oh I like it, but after talking with SFP about it, the price is WAY up there. I mean I understand it comes with a Lambada meter, but damn!!

 

Well, I'm interested but I have a lot of questions I need answered before anything.

Would it be ok if I sent you an email of the questions and go form there????

 

the new aem computer in the same as the rally gems computers

 

Shoot the questions here. And what price have you guys gotten? Im talking in the 1400 range.

Post all question here. As you guys may or may not know. I'm one of the biggest AEM distrutors around.

 

I was hearing $2,000, granted that's installed/tuned..

 

$1880 tuned and installed for the first 10 people who prepay for the unit. Or $1430 for just the unit

It can be found for $1400. Installation is removing the stock ECU and placing this one in its place ( cost $0, time 10 minutes). So I hope $480 in tuning implies a lot of dyno time.

 

To properly tune a car we are talking about at least 3 hours. And offcourse usually it doesnt take just 3 hours, it take more.

 

 

Ok here go the questions:

How do the tuning capabilities of this system compare to the ones of Haltech E6K

and Hondata stage 4B?

Also Is there anything that the aem system offers that haltech and hondata don't??

What kind of recording time do you get with the logging feature, how many chanels?

Up to how much boost will the system work with??

Does it have any of these features: launch RPM, overall rev limit, changing your VTEC point,set your full throttle shift, detonation control??

How many Tuneable points does it have?

Thanks and sorry for the bombarding questions......

 

i would be intrested .......... does it work with the ignition as well? and would i still need my boost controller?

so whats the difference between this and the hondata 4B that makes it worth the extra loot?

 

Here are my questions:

How does this system compare to the SpeedPro?

I am looking for 500whp and 10s....is this computer going to allow me to have the ability to fine tune as the SpeedPro does?

Should I go with the RACE version?

What kinda price for the RACE version?

What wiring is involved in the RACE version?

When will this be available?

Thanks-Jason

 

some guy was donig a group buy for $1350
actually $1345.50

So this is a standalone unit or a piggyback?

What applications is it available for?

How many places/shops are capable of tuning this unit since it is relatively new?

 

For that much money, I'd rather get a TEC II standalone. Easier to tune and runs with the factory ECU, so you don't have to worry too much about all the secondary systems. The TEC runs the engine, and the factory ECU runs everything else.

 

Are you saying the Tec II is a piggy back and not a full stand alone?

AEM tuning capabilites are better then haltech. I dont know much about hondata, But haltech you can tune from increments of 500 RPM. On the AEM unit you can better finely tune it because it is in incremetns of 200. Dont get me wrong, I aint knocking haltech or hondata, I'm also a dealer for Haltech. Haltech and AEM are both great systems. The only difference b/t the AEM PnP system and haltech is that, on haltech no matter what you application you will need to run a new wiring harness which you have to buy from haltech and a map sensor(which isnt included in the 1,100 price but everyone thinks it is.)
As far as logging features You can use as many channels as you like, but for most of you im sure that the more channels you use the more Ram you suck up. AEM comes with a little more then half a GIG of ram. (512k)

As far as boost is concerning you can push as much boost as you want, as long as your fuel setup is good (eg. injectors and fuel pump). As far as i believe, which I could be misinformed, hondata stage4 has a limit on boost.


Well here are some other features of the AEM ECU

-User configurable Windows software
-Onboard Datalogging
-Comes with complete libraby of tuning tips and system design
-User programmable inputs and outputs
-Up to 10 cylinder sequential fuel injection with individual cylinder trim
-Up to 10 cylinder wasted spark distributorless ignition with individual
cylinder trim
-Boost control
-Comprehensive Nitrous control
-Twin O2 sensor closed loop control (Wide range, and UEGO)
-Comprehensive easy to follow wiring instructions
-Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) feedback
-Idle motot control
-Extensive Electronic Automatic transmission control capability
-16/32 high speed processor
-User friendly manual
-Twin knock sensor control

 

Speedpro and AEM are very similair, basically the same idea. With the exception that if you use the PnP system there is no need to rewire the car.

Yes, it will. Tune at every increments of 200 rpm

If you are planning to do 500whp then i would suggest you go with the race version, but the pnp system will work also. The Pnp system is made for the general public, where if someone want to run over 10psi of boost.

Race version is @ $1,800 Pnp Sytem is at 1,400

Race version is like a haltech, dfi, speedpro, motec, etc as far as the wiring is concerned. YOu will have to run a new harness from teh AEM ecu out to the motor .

I will have them in January.

Thanks-Jason[/QUOTE]

 

WooW, that was a very contradicting post there. You contradicted yourself a couple of times. Dont know what everyone elses definition of standalone and piggy back system is but here is mine.

Piggy system- A secondary ecu that is working with an existing ecu.
Standalone sytstem- NO other ecu except one!!!

This is a standalone ecu, You can take your factory ecu and put it away or sell it to someone who wants it. For applications take a look here

Please note that this is for the Pnp system. As with the race version it can be put on any car!!

FYI- you can dl a sample version to paly around with it.

Well you can configure the TEC II it to be a standalone, but IMO the less tuning the better. If you can eliminate tuning things, then it'll be easier for you. I understand the difference between a standalone and a piggy-back, but if you can get the factory ECU to take care of the garbage stuff, then why not?

 

so if I was going to use aem stand alone..and tops 30psi. Prolly 22 street since that's the most 93 octane gas can take me...I can just use the pnp version?

Jeff-

 

whats garbage stuff? do you mean all the readings from the sensors? Because thats very important stuff there .......

 

the system is 1,800 direct from AEM, it's a stand alone system and the only difference between the race and the street version is that the race version doesnt have preset programs...
