AEM EMS series 2

http://www.aemelectronics.com/engine...ent-system-30/



they finally have a USB port on the EMS!!!

if they offered one for my MR2, i'd upgrade (i have a version 1 with a serial port as my only means of connecting to it) in a second. however, it is very annoying that the Toyota EMS's are twice as much as the Honda ones.

so who's going to get one for their FT when it comes out? this assumes it uses a Toyota-style ECU and not a Subaru-style. if it's Subaru-style, i'll just get a Cobb AP.

If I understood what it does, why it does it (why is usually pretty obvious after I figure out what it does) and how to do it...
I don't know much of the different thingers like that. Im too new to the tuning scene I guess.

so its a replacement ECU? Or does it go inline with the current ECU but allows for modifications to... whatever you want it looks.


Does the part where it says "Legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway." make it a PITA to get your hands on if your out of the state?

full replacement ECU. 100% adjustable. you can tune EVERY aspect relating to the engine. it can be both good and bad. good because you can tailor everything to how you want it. bad because it can be overwhelming and dangerous if you're not sure what you're doing. the reason i'm so excited about the series 2 is for the USB; it should make laptop connection 100 times easier and more reliable.

it's easy to get one anywhere! they're saying that in CA, it's only legal off-road.

I will probably be using a Hydra Nemesis. But the series 2 looks very good indeed
