Need some help here guys. We need a gauge cluster assembly from any 99-2002 Camaro/Firebird to support our plug and play development for these platforms. We have prototype hardware ready that should be able to drive the gauge clusters on these cars. Eventually, the system will be incorporated into the EMS but it needs a lot of testing first. If anyone knows where we might be able to buy, beg, borrow or steal one of these, please PM me.

Nice!

Let me know ASAP if you can help. We're anxious to see if we can actually make those needles bounce around a little... .

Boxed and shipped out on Friday.

So what kind of features is this setup going to offer? I would be more than happy with an e-mail or pm too. Hmmm maybe my DFI Gen VII will have to step aside?

This ECU will have all the same features as all other AEM EMS's with the addition of properly interfacing with the gauge cluster via the GM VPW datastream. This EMS will also mount in the engine compartment in the factory location. It will plug into the factory harness and use all the stock sensors and actuators. From there...it's all up to you...

Wow....That sounds awesome.

Good thing I left the stock harness in there. It'll be nice getting the 2nd harness outta there.

So what is the planned release date?

Thanks,

Roman

Depends on how things go with the gauge panel and enclosure design since it will be a brand new part. It's a longshot but maybe before the end of the year.

DUDE! where the hell have you been?

 

ahh sounds promising

 

bah..no where....SLOW POKE!

nah..reading ever so often...online gaming ownz me

World of Warcraft

 

AEM vs BS3. Which is > ?

 

BS3 hands down. I own an AEM on my Supra. Dealt with BS3 once, and liked it ALOT more.

 

 

which is gonna be cheaper as far as price?

 

Whats the normal pricing for a AEM unit with wideband......??? I know how much BS3 is and ive played with the software and its easy.......
Kyle

 

so do you'll need a gauge cluster still? pm if you do.

 

I'm adapting an AEM for my setup. AEM's software is very powerful.

AEM's usually go for around $1400-1500 new i believe. Around $1000 less than BS3

 

Mounts in the stock PCM location, connects to the stock harness!!! 99 clusters

So this would me us 98 guys can't play unless we get a 99 cluster and 99 harness?

 

Give or take.

 

what are the differences between 98 and 99+ clusters/harnesses?

 

I dont really know the difference either but i do know we (98 PCM) guys cant really use any thing.. ie HPT with there 2 Bar setup.... because were a 98 PCM.....

If the AEM can work with a 98 thats awsome...... now using there wideband... isnt that another $380-$400 to add on??? So it would be $1850-$1950.... still $500 Cheaper the BS3 wich you have to cut and splice.....
Does the AEM unit with a wideband work like BS3 ?? Meaning does it compinsate for what ever boost your using at thattime and ad fuel as it see's fit to get the set AFR that you set.... LIKE BS3 does??? meaning as long as timing is correct then you can adjust boost on the fly to what ever you want and be ok.. like you can with BS3???? I never knew you could do stuff like that untill i started talking to MM and other user of BS3.
I know we are all just wanting the best for out $$ and if AEM can do it..... for ALL of us (98) included ill use them...... if not ill be going with BS3......
Kyle

 

that would be awsome, im still going to work with my MS and see how that works, however this may be an alternative if that doesnt work out

 

I'm pretty sure the newer aem boxes have the wideband controller built in where as the old boxes did not.

The AEM uses Fuel Table Automapping. Meaning you can build a rough map for your setup by giving it a target A/F for the different load/rpm points and it'll make adjustments automatically.

I'm not positive I understand exactly what you mean by the BS3 compensating for boost. The AEM system has a Load vs RPM fuel map (pretty much the same as any other EMS). As boost goes up your map is setup to supply the proper amount of fuel to obtain the target a/f. If you are asking if it automatically makes adjustments due to variables such as weather etc, i'm not sure. Check out their forum.. tons of help there.

 

cool stuff

 

Yes!!! Please come out with AEM for these cars.

 

Yes thats was exactly what i was saying...... now about the weather thing... from talking with mightey mouse and his BS3 he says it does adjust..........
