nick (the cool one, not the instigator), how do you plan on creating traction control?? Engine monitoring goingto cut power under slippage???

Traction control is a standard option on the AEM. We haven't configured this option yet. We are mainly focusing on engine performance first. That luxury we will tackle after we are done with the rest of the R&D. It can be uploaded at any time into the unit via file transfer from my email to the enduser if need be.
 
when we are datalogging and sending you the info to retune the unit, does that cost extra for your time?
 
I have an inline fuel pump and damn!!! it stalls the injectors with ease...had to recalibrate de fmu down to 8:1 and still get injectors stalled.

Looks like our stock injectors dont hold more than 120psi

I can also have a configured switch for the solenoid. It hasn't been figured into the pricing though. Basically because some people like to keep a steady boost level thruout. And just use throttle position as demand.
It would just require additional tuning time is all.

Awesome, thanks for clearing up the OBDII issue.

Would just running an EBC with Low/High boost settings allow the AEM to run optimum maps for each level, or would I need the solenoid with a switch wired up to instantly switch from low to high boost while maintaining optimum mapping? I just want to be making max power with 2 different levels so I can have conservative/fun settings. I'm slow :(

EDIT: does the AEM support Mac OS's, or just the Windows platform?

Thanks in advance! :D
 
Alright, i just got through reading all 13 pages of this thread, and i am completely blown away. That is an awesome price too btw.
I just want verification to see if i got this right.
Say i put off my turbo install for a few months until this thing is ready to ship out. I Order your unit, install all the rest of my miscellaneous turbo goodies (minus the FMU and O2 modifier) and plug your parallel system in and drive away?
I know there are lots of things that could go wrong with the turbo install itself, but if possible i'd rather wait, and not risk my engine blowing up because i install the FMU wrong or something stupid, and just install the AEM unit and be able to drive away knowing my car is running fine.

I'll answer this one for you.
AEM's traction control is done using parameters.Basicaly you go out and make a few runs.When you get it to hook how you like you set the graph at that.Then you choose how you want to control it(timing, fuel,etc ) if you go out side of the parameters you set.

No problem.
The base mapping will be sufficient for you to use your EBC. It will read the pressure in the intake manifold.
The mapping is done so that you have the proper resolution all the time. That is why we converse with the customer first to see what they plan on doing with their cars.
There are quite a few definable outputs I can assign. You will just let me know what you need.

No need for an FMU with the AEM. Do the right thing and get larger injectors.

YES
 
What are the stock injectors rated for? And is a 440cc injector the smallest step up from stock?

For most turbo kits, I thought they used the FP O2 voltage clamp, which I'm guessing would come out also?

The AEM can deal with on-boost closed loop operation? And make a safe switch to open loop?

Do "loops" even become a real issue with AEM?

I'm just thinking of how the Link works on the Miatas, in that it deals with open loop very effectively, however the O2 voltage clamp is needed to deal with closed loop on-boost stuff...
 
I think Nick said that the AEM runs a closed loop mode until it needs to switch, ie boost. I'm not sure how it controls it though, I'm sure he'll be here soon to clear that up. :)

Thanks for the info Nick, just gimme some time for things to fall into place :(

Stock Injectors - 300cc at 43 psi.
The 440 cc are good but I would liek to see people go a little larger. That way they dont have to upgrade down the road again if they go forged and up the boost. But 440 will work great for 300 WHP

You wouldn't have a need for the O2 clamp any longer.

The AEM has its OWN closed loop feedback control. In theory I COULD run the car in closed loop ALL the time if I wanted to. It will depend on how well the tune is implimented to the mods on the car. DONT forget that just because we are all used to saying CLOSED loop with 14.7 :1 A/F ratios , they think that it is the way it will work with the AEM. Not really how it works.
Closed loop just means that it receives feedback from the O2, and various other sensors, and will look up the target A/F ratio we have implimented to correct the map with.
But I like to run closed loop operation only under atmospheric conditions, cruising and partial throttle. When under boost we convert to open loop. That way we dont have to fight the feedback control from the O2 input.
It is completely different than the Link setup on the miatas.
The AEM and the stock ECU come together really well with the way we spec'd it all out. Unfortunately I cant go over specifics on HOW we do it. I think you understand WHY ;)
