aem ems users
 

alright so i was wondering if anyone was running the aem ems on their hmt setups and how hard was it getting the aem to run when you first go it.

Conserding everyone here is broke and cheap I doubt anyone has it. H-T may get a better response. From what I have read it's user friendly

eh...i got a chance to use it quite a bit on my friends H22 hatch

we never got that thing running right...you really need to have a lot of experience or a lot of time the first time you set one of those up.

once you get everything set up and running correctly in the software, tuning is a breeze though

not worth the $$$ IMO

Nope, I've heard the same from other people as well. They too never got it running and ditched the EMS for Uberdata :-\

aem ems? on hmt?

that'd be like seeing a supermodel at denny's.

Re:aem ems users
 

time i have but is it that hard to get it up and running? does the base map it come with that bad? and i dont know anyonw who would switch from an ems to uberdata if they had it in the first place. i guess its just your preference on what you want to run.

haha I do. He sold it and went Uber. But anyway I guess he had a tough time getting it to run and even wanted me to go look at it for him. I have no clue what I'm doing with the EMS so I just left it alone :-\

its very difficult...there are SOOOO many auxilary tables and maps to setup (to match your cars specs) and only the fuel maps are really 'basemapped' and they arent that good really

not saying you cant learn, but knowing what each of those correction maps and tables do is daunting at best, takes a lot of reading and comprehension, thats why i say the experience helps

Re:aem ems users
 

EMS tuning is very difficult, and EMS tuners are far and few between.

I know that Sean over at a local shop here in portland called TorqueFreaks gets paid mega money to be flown all over the world to tune peoples cars. He always has a story about how he just got back from Rome or New Zealand, etc...

Like Harv's in L.A. That old man has tuned almost all the fast so cal cars he knows whats up.
