New AEM Piggyback (Seems VERY promising)
 

AEM is releasing this soon, and it seems promising for sure. I spoke to my contacts and got the 1st production unit (serial number 000001) being to sent to me for some testing. So, I will be testing this out on the D17 and 2AZFE to see how well it works. I will snap pics on Mon when it arrives here. For the meantime, here are pics from AEM's site:

Fuel & Ignition Controller

AEM’s F/IC is a PC-programmable piggy-back controller that allows users to retard timing and add fuel to virtually any engine, even on variable cam timing engines (VTEC, iVTEC, VVTi, MiVEC, etc.). The F/IC is the perfect solution for eliminating outdated FMUs and “boost hiding” electronics and is ideal for newer cars with knock detection that have non-factory forced induction systems.

The F/IC uses a vehicle’s factory base map to create calibrations via a powered USB connection to a PC, so drivability and cold start are not affected. Since the F/IC modifies the factory timing patterns it is not necessary to know them in advance. The F/IC can also recalibrate sensors so users can add a MAP sensor for boost without affecting the signal to the ECU.

Since the F/IC is a trim device it will not cause the factory ECU to throw a “check engine” light because it allows the user to intercept and modify the cam and crank inputs. Additional injector drivers allow users to control up to six additional injectors for high-horsepower vehicles. And it works on variable cam timing engines.

Works with latest OBD-2 vehicles including variable valve control
Variable Valve timing controller based on Engine RPM and Load
Six (6) injector inputs with simulated injector load used when remapping OEM injectors
Six (6) fuel injector controllers for either remapping of ECU output (+200%/-100% trim) or as a stand-alone extra injector driver
Six (6) short-circuit protected high-impedance injector driver outputs (2amps ea)
USB PC interface and programmable using power from USB port (Supports field re-flashing)
Supports approximately two minutes of on-board data acquisition
Three (3) channels of timing retard
Supports MAG or HALL sensor types
On board 41PSIA (approx. 25PSI boost) manifold pressure sensor
Analog in/out for remapping MAF or external MAP sensor

icy hott!!

cool. but it seems like all other piggybacks. i want the aem standalone :love: but still its nice to have more choices as far as engine managment goes. thanks paul. im sure that we can expect to see a p&p harness for this from dezod?

I hope so...(fingers crossed)

:)

Todd

Yep. We are hoping by late next week to have a harness built for it.

Also if testing works well, this will replace the e-manage in our kits. :)


I will get ya our AEM in the next week or 2 for your ride. I need to get my boost testing results first (June 6th).

i wish. i wont have the money for a while. todd taped me out. :P

I know your all for the standalone, and I have been a cheerleader for that, but this is an good alternative, and allot more affordable.

Todd

What's gonna be the difference between this and lets say the emanage ultimate.. I didn't really understand all the cam timing stuff and what not.. Does it just do what the ultimate does but better?

im sure it is. but i have played the game of spending money on something that i will soon outgrow. from here on out, my goal is to get it right the first time. :D

My thoughts exactly Todd.

So, is this more comparable to the Greddy blue or the Greddy ultimate? What about pricing?
More imprtianly, where is your pricing for the AEM Standalone:wink:

More like the Ultimate. Pricing will be around $400

Please make one for an 2007............... :pray:

I found this as well...........................

i saw this and went to AEM's forums to read the stuff they posted there...interesting to say the least. watching...

We will. No doubt.

Can't wait to see what this ECU can do. This is a great time to be planning for a turbo kit. :D :D

Sounds better than a emanage ultimate with v mananage wonder about part throttle controls

I will test it out for sure!!!

standalone? you dont need no stinkin stand alone :P

for those people who just purchased there kit, anyway we can send back our emanage for an exchange for this?
