Oh so you are back on AEM Series 1 now? Did you try the new V17 firmware? There are several fixes in that release and it is very well round now. One MAIN fix being idle control and another a proven misfire condition in the 2000's rpm range mainly on Mitsubishi applcations that was corrected. Series 2 is very different from Series 1 in many aspects and my experience on a few cars is proving this to be very true. The guys at AEM have said this many times.

I've had an ongoing issue with misfires and cutouts/bucking that turned out to be the Injection Phasing. It appears the Evo platform especially is very sensitive to changes here. A couple changes today, first one matching the exact settings I've successfully used on Series 1 were terrible on Series 2. I then tried the Evo 8 base cal settings and so far appear to be the best overall and my bucking is gone and misfires appear to be very limited. I hope to dial the car in very precisely now.

Just food for thought.

 

Thank you for the advice pal We did infaact using multiple calibrations that the series 2 wouldn't accept along with the new V17 firmware. We sent the series 2 unit back to AEM and are currently waiting on a response. I will keep you updated on what the out comes is.

So you were the guy pulling his 10 sec evo with a blacked out SS.... damn rich people ... !!!! good job on the times.. and beautiful car.

 

LOL yea that was me, the shootout was awesome. Cant wait till next year Was hoping for a 9 sec pass but ill take the 10.0. Going back in a week or so with E85 and hopefully not no 93 degree day and see if i can pull off a 9.7 pass

 

good luck man, it was nasty heat at the shootout ... I was not as lucky as you , had ****ty launch ( need more nitrous for the stall) ... ended the day at the shootout with 11.07 @ 142.51

 

Thanks man you to! Yea it was really hot, in the morning it wasnt as bad but its just got hotter and hotter as the day went on That trap is nasty dude, 9 sec trap for sure

 

Interesting. Definitely update us on what they find, I am quite curious what the problem ends up being.

I've had my box modified with new coolant, cam, and crank resistors. An original issue I had was random hard cuts normally under WOT conditions. It turned out Series 2 was very sensitive to the cam sensor readings and it would drop out randomly. Funny thing was the car ran SOLID on Series 1 not skipping a single beat. I tested another cam sensor and no cuts and the signal was visually different so I bought a new one on the spot.

I guess you can say on one hand thats nice its more sensitive so problems are noticed before a complete failure, but on the other hand I'd imagine this will bring a lot of people grief cause it would appear its almost to sensitive and people will blame the Series 2 before anything else... hell I did

Good luck, I love this build!

 

wow he knows how to drive ,,,

 

Thanks everyone for the compliments

 

im glad everything worked out buddy if you had not heard no more SM tranny for me but SM is fully rebuilding my exedy to brand new status for the build so this will be exciting

ill send you a pm bro tranny was a POS. NOT SM fault you will see

 

Your right that can be a good and bad thing. We had the same experience this car on series 1 performs like a champ. I will send you a pm once i get the series 2 back.
