It's so much easier to tow it to the tuner and let them do it. Have you considered that?

 

I will tow it to my tuner... but I wanted to start and let the car heat up and then shut it down and re-tourque the head bolts so it is all ready to tune once my tuner flys into town... so the basemap will at least allow me to heat cycle correct?

 

I installed my inlinePRO 3mm HG tonight and want to heat cycle the head bolts by running the car and then tear it down and tighten them again. I have the AEM 1052 installed and the 1000cc precision injectors. how would I format the basemap that came with the AEM to be able to start and run the motor in order to perform this heat cycling? Your help is greatly appreciated, I was planning on using the map off the 1012 but since it is not compatible I am at a loss on how to do this.

Thanks

 

Go to setup -> injectors -> primaries -> primary inj batt offset wizard -> select your injector from the list

If you are unsure whether to choose high or low impedance injectors, go to the website of the manufacturer of your injectors and lookup the part number and impedance. Then you're done. Go to the start map and make sure you've got enough timing and fuel during cranking. Do this while you try starting the car. Don't mess with the map until you try starting your car first. If the car doesn't start then I would try adding timing during crank first...then come behind it gradually with fuel.

Good luck!

 

Here's a question, there appear to be so many experts on this forum. Why do none of them respond to technical questions about the AEM EMS and AEM Pro? Does everyone plug it in, get the car to a tuner and not bother to learn the software?

If we all shared maps and notes then we wouldn't be so in the dark. Refusing to post map tables and stuff always baffled me. Sure, it costs a few hundred dollars to pay for a pro tune and "every car is different." But, your money isn't benefiting you or anyone else if you don't open up the software and learn from it. You paid for that tune. It's yours. Use it to learn from. Read the AEM Pro help files and EFI Basics. If we all did this, we'd be more informed and might be able to troubleshoot minor tuning issues with the help of others. I'm not saying we'll all turn out to be pro tuners...I'm just saying we shouldn't go pay for full retunes because we added a new exhaust or cuz we are running slightly lean under load. It just shouldn't be necessary.

Not a sermon, just a thought...hehe

 

I agree... I have no problems sharing any of my maps or tunes with anyone who asks... I paid for em and it costs me nothing to share em.

 

Great point. I wish more people would do this, but most people seem to not want to mess with the AEM software. It is very easy to work with, and I would expect more discussion on different things people do that works or doesn't work, but I find that even over on the AEM forum little is discussed on the subject.

Aren't you guys a little curious as to how you "tuner" has set-up your car?

I have no problem sharing the info on how to teach someone who would like to learn, but then again, all the information is given to you with your aem. The PDF files that come with the AEM are some of the best reads, yet I notice no one reads them.

Sad really

I agree. We have an acronym where I work RTFM- read the f...ing manual. It's great.

I have no problem sharing my maps. Here are some screen captures. In the end, everyone just needs to be aware that every car is different and using someone elses map may not work too well and could cause severe damage. Always work your way up to WOT and full boost while monitoring/logging every step when trying something new.





Final comments: Mine is self tuned on a few dynos. I've been through EFI 101, EFI Advanced, and was in charge of tuning our SAE CSC snowmobile in college.

My tune is conservative. I use boost comp, but without a throttle modifier (I hate the throttle mod). Instead, I edit the vacuum ranges of the fuel map to perform the same function. I have excel spreadsheets to do the same to any tune. The benefit of doing things this way is much greater granularity/control.

For me, PM or e-mail works best. I don't read every new thread every day and S2KI seems incapable of sending me any e-mails. There are probably a lot of threads asking for help that I miss, though I try to help whenever I can.

Tim,

I am familiar with you. I read the EFI University forums and you've got about 30 posts or so. I wish there were more people interested in accumulating this kind of information. Maybe we can start an EFI forum on S2ki???? Mods?

Best,

J

PS - I will start a new thread to start posting setups and map screen shots. There people will be able to ask about drivability issues, fueling/timing, etc...anything related to TECHNICAL questions about AEM EMS EFI (or theory in general). Maybe it will spark a new forum.
