I'm very excited about this. Emanage Blue was crossed off my list since it was rather limiting in terms of injector size. There arent many documented success stories of people being able to use Ult. Emanage either and AEM EMS is overkill for what I need.
Glad there's another option to fill the void!

A. would something like this be a Solidl viable option for someone looking to run a modest turbo setup (7-9psi) ?
B. Would this work well for someone looking for a more aggresive (but not overboard turbo setup @ 15psi) ?
Assuming lovefab gt1 with gt30R on an ap2

Again, every standalone is overriding the factory ecu settings and tricking the ecu into not seeing boost. This is effective but don't expect the same smoothness and flexibility you would have with a complete standalone setup. I have had piggyback ecu in the S2000 and a piggyback in my RX-7 and a standalone in the RX-7 and I have purchased (but not installed the standalone in my S2000). The reason I always seem to go to a standalone after I get tired of the compromises in drivability you get with piggybacks. It's really the stumbles at partial throttle misfires and stuff.
I love the idea of a higher end piggyback that is OBII compatible (like everyone else). But, I doubt AEM is going to be able to get passed the partial throttle stumbles (especially in heatsoak conditions), etc. It'll be a compromise. Probably better than the EManage or the VAFC's but you're probably still going to need to do the occasional map whack (especially in the summertime).
I'm crossing my fingers! I'd love to see this thing kick some but. PLUS, AEM is way friendlier to the S2000 community than Greddy is so I'm all but positive this is going to be a great option for those on a budget/wanting OBD II compatibility.

no way, omg this is amazing, really want this instaed of paying 1500 for the ems, but i dunno if i should, i wouldnt be using my full race kit to its full potential, gotta see some numbers, release it AEM!!!
I just bought my AEM EMS yesterday along with 750 injectors and a upgraded fuel pump. I could have saved mucho dinero
this could solve some of the UK's issue with lack of tuners OK with full ECU replacements!
