Hey,

I just got a AEM management system for my S Can anybody give me some help and tricks and should watch out for when they are going to be tuning it on the dyno? For does of you who have it install how do you like it?

Does anybody have the software available? Tuned for there car and are ready to share it with me?

There are only several people who have this setup and running correctly and tuned, and everyone I am sure ethier has alot of time or money invested in it, so therefore I doubt people will be sending it out for free....... except AEM.

The latest version of the EMS software is nice, and comes with a calibration (look for 1012 in the calibration folder) which runs pretty well with the stock S2000 (and modified S2000's for that matter)

I just installed mine yesterday with the latest firmware. The car started, but won't idle. I have to make some adjustments for the 600 cc injectors. Leaving for vacation in Mexico tomorrow, so I'll spend some time reading the huge manual so I can figure out how to tune it.

Hah hah, first time using it with large injectors, you'll learn how to change spark plugs like a nascar pit crew.

I'm gonna bet that without the benefits of more boost and more power that most people would get with an EMS on a FI car (since yours appears to be NA based on your sig) to weigh against the drivability issues your going to wish you had never done this. But, good luck anyhow.

did you see any improvement?

In my sig the car is stock (engine), but if you have followed my story, my car is under construction all over again. There is a reason why I have the EMS, but I have not found many threads (search) about success stories about the EMS.

As you know it is something very risky and like you say Wesmaster it might not be a pleasure to install and tune. This is the exact reason why I post this thread, to the get the best point possible and put the most chances on my side to make usable with the most gain.

I'm trying to get the most tips possible and before i start on this in the next week.


cjb80 I'm going to check what you have mentionned.
