its only a bitch to use when your just starting out or if you just plain dont know what your doing but now there are plenty of people around to help you out, theres a bunch of guys around that can help get you going including myself if you need help

once you get used to it it becomes really easy and you can start to use all the realy nice features

I think i am going to pick one up. It just seems like soooo much better of a deal than buying piggy backs and runnin a million wires everywhere for it when you can wire just one thing rather than a sortment of them.
Where can i get maps for a 91?

Can't wait to install mine, it's just sitting in my room. I might have something to contribute after that

i can send you a map for your car if you list your mods, sensors etc, and help you get started theres a few other guys around that im sure will help you out too, you really dont have to wire much as it plugs right in, i do reccomend going MAP with it, and you NEED a wide-band

[decypher]

I am sure there is info on this but since you seem so helpful i will ask here. With the aem ems system, besides a laptop what is needed?

Thanks Jim

[pengulns2001]

technically all you "need" is a laptop but if your going to pony up the money for the AEM system i recomend buying

a wide band sensor... i chose the aem dual channel but its really up to you and what you want to spend

a MAP sensor compatable with the aem (either gm 3-bar or aem 3.5 bar)

an AIT sensor (gm)

if you want to do EBC you will need to buy the GM boost control solonoid

anything else you wan to control electronically you could purchase and run through the AEM as well

expect to spend around 2000 for a good set-up

That's the start of a 3S AEM FAQ that I worked on a bit in December. I've just about got my car back on the road after a tranny failure, so I will be tuning on the AEM again hopefully within the next month.

I've tuned several 3S cars with the AEM and have had good success with all of them. Moreso on my own, since I've spent more time with it. In the FAQ there's info on how to set up a quick boost compensation map from the basemaps that AEM provides. There are some newer tricks than what's in the FAQ, but my car is essentially tuned with exactly what's in the FAQ and it runs great.

I don't think there's anything that should hold a serious tuner back from getting an AEM at this point. The growing pains seem to be over and the software is very stable now. There is a pretty good group of 3/S people on the AEM Forums that answer questions (myself included).

Ive thought it over enough, and have concluded that this is the route I will go when the time (and funds) come. The potential of the aem is just too appealing, I'm sure once I get it and play with it enough I will get the hang of it.

well, im going to do some major mods after summer vacations ( including td05 or 19t's) and i was going to use the Aem ecu right away. I dont wanna spend money on piggy backs and also i want it proffesional. Somehow i dont trust those piggy backs. Anyways im going to buy it with wide band and other stuff and try to install it :P, but i bet there will be tons of questions, so thread like that would be very helpful to read ahead how to do stuff.
oh yeah btw you can control NOS with that thing too, and thats what im going to take advantage of :PP

I have a 3.5 BAR GM MAP sensor and an IAT sensor. I'm getting the AEM EUGO dual-channel kit, ordering prolly next week. Still gotta pick up a GM boost solenoid too.

Do you use a boost comp map? It seems like it might be the best way to tune. I was poking around the AEM forum reading.
