aem engine management system

[geisi13]

anybody have an opinion on the aem plug and play engine management system, i know they are pricey but i want to know how well the work, i wont mind paying the extra so i dont have to swap my ecu for hondata. as long as its gonna work jsut as good. i plan on runing it on my laptop and keeping it in my car.

Unless you are completely diehard about tuning, the AEM EMS system isn't worth it IMO. I'd just go for teh Hondata unit.

What mods do you have done to the car?

well right now i have a t3 turbo, dsm innjectors, aem fuel rail, aem ajustable cam gear, zex dry kit 55 shot, pacesetter exhaust, but before i get engine managment its gonan have low compression pistons, new rods, port and polish head angled valve job, new valves springs and retainers, fabricated intake manifold with individual throttle bodies, and prolly some more shit too, i dont know what order ill get stuff yet, im pretty much just saving my money till i can afford one thing, and getting everything in steps.

In your case I'd go with the Hondata unit. It's more than capable of doing the job you need done here. Even if you start to tune yourself all you have to do is get the datalogger option added on later down the road and the ROM editor.

Only downside is that you have to convert to OBD1.

What are you using as fuel management right now?

I have one more question actually. How are you going to fabricate an IM with ITBs? The purpose of ITBs is mainly to get more air into your engine faster and equal amounts into each cylinder. That's only done through using open TBs with no plenum of any sort. I know that Skyline GT-Rs use an ITB setup with turbo but I have no clue as to how that is setup. Mind enlightening me on how your setup is going to be?
