It's fairly easy to pick up an AEM EMS for less than $1,000. Used is the way to go. I picked mine up for about $900.

 

This guy has one for sale and he is local to you: http://www.idahostreetracing.com/php...ic.php?t=11684

 

Offer him $600. I've seen 'em go for that cheap. Once you buy it you can check the serial number and then if needed get any hardware/firmware updates from AEM. The used one I purchased needed a hardware update. I had to pay for shipping, but AEM did the updates at no cost.

 

Even though it says Honda it will work with the Evo?

 

NOOO, you need the 30-1313 or the 30-1313U. The U has a built in Uego wideband, so you'll pay a little extra. I agree completely with mike, search for one used and save some money.

 

Good advice. I'll save up for the AEM. All the posts indicate that that is the end all be all of tuners for the evo.

 

Really I would only get the AEM if you are planning on going to a big turbo setup. If you are staying stock turbo the stock maf will be fine for you and you can save some time and money in tuning and just either get a custom flash or a piggyback.

If you know how to tune already then the AEM will not be a problem. It just requires alot more time in tuning the a piggyback. That means alot more $$ if you are paying someone to tune. Also if you have alot of $$ it doesn't matter.

My .02 cents

Everyone on here knows I am the UTEC ***** and will be loving life as soon as the new update comes out.

Dear Ben,

If you study EvoUtah thread history 351 than you would know that he bought a used Evo from Cali, with a big turbo upgrade. It is actually a pretty nice set-up. But it is tuned poorly for up here and it's on a flash or something he can't change.

 

Dear Jared,
I just wanted to say dear Jared.

Ben

 

Dear Ben & Jared, happy new year!


.... well, I guess Happy New Year to everyone else too!

 

wow you guys are gay.. ben when are you going to realize that they will never update your atari

typage i have been tuning my aem for about 3 weeks now every night & i still have a decent amount to do but it has been well worth it.. i wouldn't mind a egt guage sometimes but other than that it's a good setup if you have time/money or alot of patience!!! trust me i call liberty2000 every couple days & ask questions

 

atari??? OH no you didn't!!! let me get my braids out of my face.

Girl it is on!!!!!!!!!!!



I am just kidding. One day I may even go to the AEM but for the level I am at now I do not see it giving me any gains. And When I go to pass emissions I don't have to worry about not being OBDII compliant

Ben

 

Oh snap, Ben just dropped the "OBDII" compliant BOMB!

What do you guys do anyway?

 

My stock ECU is still in place. I unplug the AEM EMS and plug directly into the ECU. No WOT or aggressive driving, but just fine for emissions / OBDII compliance.

 

any of you '03 guys gone in for a i/m test with cams & a tbe .....if so how did you do?
