thinking of going the aem way is this a good mod or is it too much hassle to set up, if so who has the maps to get it set up , or who can do it on the rolling road for a good price.?or is it overkill with a engine rebuild/jwt sports 650 and forged pistons/555cc inj etc.

What's AEM?

You wern't seriously expecting an answer within 13mins at nearly 2am were yer :p

The AEM will benefit pretty much any Zed thats being performance modified, however those with bigger injectors/Turbos and even more will benefit the most.

When you price up the individual features the AEM has and say purchase from known jap brands, it works out VFM in a big way.

It simply fits implace of your existing ECU in minutes, though some accessorries will add a little fitting time.

It's a Gems based unit, so pretty much any Scooby mapper can map the AEM, though IMO i'd would prefer to see an AEM trained mapper get the most from the unit itself.

It comes with a base Map to get you started as well.

You can more details on my website in the performance section :)

no i didn't expect to get a reply quickly , its just someone at work abused my log on lol whilst i was away from my bench lmfao

as for the aem, i've been told its a nightmare to set up and you need a expert to map it correctly or you will spend ages doing trials or dyno's

am just trying to way up if the hassle outweight the benefits, seen as am rebuilding a spare engine with wiseco forged pistons/ eagle rods/metal econel h/gaskets/jwt sports 650 turbo's/manifolds/ 555cc inj

which isn't exactly a full monty race engine but should give me a decent power and reliabilty for a while.

i suppose the main thing i was thinking was the advantage of getting rid of the maf unit as this is supposed to be a big restriction

theres no hassle in mapping them at all mate, if anyone struggles, they shouldn't even be doing it!

Like i said before pretty much any scooby Gems mapper can do it, certainly the many skyline mappers use AEM so they can too and I know richard bell at risingsun performance ( skyline tuner) has been to the US and done a week long course on AEM mapping. So in short no hassle to outweigh the benefits bud :)

Yep you can bin the MAF and don't forget it comes with built in launch and traction control too and is easliy mappable for different things you wanna do.

Best thing it has that the other companies don't, is an online back up, if you struggle to understand/use any particular feature, simply ask on the AEM forum and the AEM techies will respond directly :cool:

Hope that explains things better..

cheers
