JDM S2000

can a wideband be plugged into the 1012

Scorpion

Yes it can as long as it has a 0-5V output. I am running a 1012 and have my AEM wideband hooked up to it. Works great.

Ultimate Racing

No problem.

Yes, you can use any wideband that has a configurable 0-5v analog output. Wire the signal to O2#1 on the AEM, setup the voltage table and you're good to go. The AEM EMS is not setup for any stock o2 sensor anyway.

Since I have requested a password for AEM's forums 3 times now.

Can I get a base map for a UR kit .5 bar for the aem 1012

PM me with the details on your setup and your e-mail address and I'll see what I can do.

[QUOTE=Scorpion,Oct 18 2006, 03:37 AM] Well I would never recomend anyone street tune a car.

The stock knock sensor works very well. Every S2000 with EMS that leaves here is setup with AEM's knock control.

Cant wait to take mine to get tuned, I would have tried to do somethings my self but I do not understand all the different parameters.

I just got a cal file from a guy with the UR kit, Im hoping it works well with my aem ems

If you feel that you can trust your motor to a microphone then by all means. I said I'm not here to change the way people tune or tell anyone that one wy os better than another. I just don't believe that the best way to tune is to add timing until you see enough volts coming from the sensor to make you think the car in knocking. Especialy when there is no set value that you can say "yes that is definitly knock". It's like tuning with an EGT gauge. Can you tell me the optimal EGT for best fuel and timing on a car? No, no one can, because every motor is differant. Same goes with a knock sensor. 3 volts is 3 volts but it doesn't mean there is knock.

I had a guy with a comptech SC running 9psi on an EMS come to me for tuning. I had him set help me set the inital timing on the car, and when I went out to start tuning the car was knocking bad at 5000 rpm. According to the knock readings, we where getting no knock (less that 2 volts) but trust me the car was pinging and making no power what so ever. So after backing the timing way down I decided to recheck the timing. Apparently he didn't know how to read the timing light when we where doing the inital setup, because at idle the car was at 17 degrees Stock is around 5-6. So the car was off by 12 degrees, which mean that at 5000 rmp the map said 30, but it was actually 42!!!! After I set the timing to where it was supposed to be, we went back on the road and the car pulled great and didn't ping at all. The knock voltage at that point was the same as when the car was pining like mad.

One more thing, I don't want you to think I don't use the knock control. I turn it on when I'm done tuning, but as a safety feature for me, in case the owner of the car changes something without consulting me or another tuner. I would expect every tuner to do this. The point I was trying to make before was that TUNING a car using the knock sensor is bad.

Just a note.
