Guys, great idea, but we do not sell used parts. We are not going to make someone pay for new and give used parts. Sorry, we do not operate that way. There are a few exceptions, but that is it.

I have an AEM and I aint that happy with it. I actually sold it and purchased a Hydra EMS

paul_dezod

Well good luck with the Hydras. This thread is AEM Proven Power! Stay tuned. Jeff is gonna be making some great power for sure.

I wasnt saying he wouldnt. My bad, not my thread. AEM is a great unit and the facts prove it.

I'm glad to see a few people trying Standalone in general!

ooooo...318_tC, congrats on the AEM standalone!!!

and congrats to Dezod for getting this out

The AEM is a good unit don’t get me wrong, but the numbers that my car put up was not that impressive. The guy who did the tuning is real good too so that is not the issue. I have seen Hydras making 330-340 at 10psi. My car makes 305 at 12psi. Another thing I don’t like is the start up. The car takes forever to start up in the morning, with the Hydra it starts right up. The Hydra also controls VVTI and cam timing easily the AEM is a mission to get it to work right. Trust me I have had the AEM on my car for about a year already. One thing I will tell you is the drivability with both systems is just like factory, you will not notice the difference. You guys also know that you have to keep you stock computer too right? Even with the Hydra, the stock computer controls everything in that car. One more thing if you have high impedance injectors you need a resistor box from a Honda to be able to run the injectors, on the Hydra you don’t.
PS: I won’t write anything else about it on this thread since it is an AEM thread.

Good feedback from the other side of the coin, however much of your issues your desribing are tuning related. The AEM CAN control VVT-i, we worked on it for a while, and was able to on the 2JZGE IS300. Cold starts, if not programmed properly on the AEM , will pose a HUGE problem as well. There are numerous tables and ride and overalp each other based upon several conditions. We had some cold start issues with the AEM, but have fixed them all on the IS300 for sure. The AEM 'delayed starts' are an easy fix. Leave the key to accessory II for 1 sec or so, then crank. Fires right up.

Sweet I will try it for the startup, I like the AEM too, and my main reason for getting rid of it is because it is a pain to get in touch with the guy to tune it. My friend that tunes the Hydra is the one that built my car. I originally wanted a Hydra but they took so long to come out with it. I should have it by tomm or Monday so we will see.

318_tC

I have a very very good tuner tuning my aem...

paul_dezod

Me?

Well show us the "Proven Power" already! I'm tired of waiting. I'm looking at getting the AEM or Hydra down the road but need to see what's gonna be better so make sure you keep us updated.

Dyltone

Paul, you should try to help rasta with his AEM so he doesn't have to jump ship :D

mikescion

LMAO so who is your great tuner 318?
