didnt know aem made you gain power....i thought it was all in the tuner

 

good luck tomorrow

 

So what you're saying is it don't matter what standalone as long as the tuner is good and you have the money to spend for fine tuning?

 

Basically, ask a tuner. See what he prefers.

 

So why did you go with the AEM over the Hydra? The Hydra was around before the AEM. I'm really not trying to be jerk or anything. I get the sense you think I am. I really am looking for answers. I'm running the emanage basic and getting a built motor. I will be changing to a standalone soon and would just like to know which product gets my $2K and why.

 

Tony Palo is my tuner and he prefered motec, well this guy dont have motec money so he after motec he said AEM, and paul made it happen to so AEM it is. I honestly never even looked into hydra

 

^ Cool

and exactly wich turbo on the tc is stock??

 

Meant stock motor with a turbo.

 

AEM has sold countless boxes for years prior than Hydra ever existed. AEM has TONS of options that are almost second to none. I have seen few EMS that have this many options. The DTA system Dyltone is getting appears damn nice, and I would like to play with the software, but some tuners have preference based upon past experiences.

 

Yeah, the guy here said he had heard some AEM had some problems which translates to "I don't like tuning AEM so much" So I'll just have to ask what he is good with. I'll probably end up with the AEM F/IC Piggyback anyway!

 

In case anyone was curious:

I got the S60pro

I don't know of any options that AEM has that the S60 doesn't, but I'm no expert.

And it seems as though they are releasing new features all the time:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V32 Release:- Various Extensions

V32 Release of the S series software and firmware adds the ability:-

To use the ALS output instead of Aux3 for VTEC control
Alter the cam advance control algorith for Honda, Toyota and Ford ST170 cam systems
Add support for the Ford ST170 5 tooth cam signal
Add support for the Ford Mustang 360 V8, 5 tooth cam pattern
Add native support for two cylinder engines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V30 Release:- Idle Speed Increase During Air Conditioner Operation

V30 Release of the S series software and firmware adds the ability to use the gear shift input to increase the idle base PWM increasing engine power at idle whilst the air conditioning compressor is working. See wiring diagram for implentation details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V29 Release:- Support for 3 and 5 Cylinder Engines

V29 Release of the S series software and firmware adds native support for three cylinder engines on an S60 and three and five cylinder engines on the S80/S100. An option to give out genuine three and five cylinder tachometer signals is also provided.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S60 V28.00 Release:- Many New Additions
V28.00 of the S60 Firmware adds:-

Ability to run the crankshaft oscilloscope while the engine is running.
Add total attempted starts to diagnostics page.
Add support for Toyota 1ZZ and 2ZZ crank and cam patterns
Ability to switch injectors as a function of manifold pressure.
Add limits to the travel of the traction control agression ****.
Add support for the 48 - 2 cam mounted sensor on the Duccati 749R V twin bike engine.
Add support for Bosch 3 wire idle valve.
Add self test capability for all auxilliary outputs.
Add redundant TPS facility so if one fails the other takes over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S60 V24.00 Release:- Traction Control and Fuel Consumption Added

V24.00 of the S60 Firmware adds traction control and fuel consumption calculations.

Traction control is implemented using a wheel speed sensor on an undriven wheel and a gear dependent distance table providing the raw data. A gearbox sensor must be fitted. The aggression of the system, that is how much spark cut is implemented for an amount of wheel spin can be either fixed in the map or controlled by a potentiometer on the dashboard of the car.

Fuel consumption in fuel used per hour and MPG or L/100Km is calculated from the flow rate of the injectors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S60 V23.00 Release:- Idle Speed Control Using Ignition Advance

V23.00 of the S60 Firmware allows the use of ignition advance to control idle speed on vehicles where no idle PWM valve is present and cannot be fitted. All features of the PWM valve control are implemented but using advance as an alternative control system.

 

How did it go?

 

What time does your tuner open shop?

He's going today.

 

today is the day... hopefully all goes well. again, good luck man

 

like i said before. if tc4fun4ne made 443. then im geussing jeff will put dow 460-480 at same psi. bigger turbo, e.l. mani, 3" turbo back.

 

yeah alittle early to b asking how it went haha def cant wait to see numbers been watchen this for awhile

 

same here...318 good luck with everything

 

Sounds about right to me. He will see more then 450 whp hopefully. Good luck man! Let us know asap.

 

I imagine 318 is having the time of his life right now. Hope everything is going well.
