Thread: Aem stand alone or Nismotronic for my Sr20ve build

Hey @JKTUNING, thanks for helping @BenFenner understand some of the powah of NEMU capability. I saw what you have done in person with it and I find it extremely similar to anyone else whom I have watched tune with a Haltech, Apexi PowerFC, or AEM.

Just wanted to chime in since I recently bought an AEM. While I always want to support Nissan vendors, the series 1 AEM's are getting DIRT cheap. Full standalone for under $400 is unbeatable imo.

where are you finding that deal?

Yah, if that's OBDII I'm not surprised. If that's OBDI then you'll really impress me. =]

In 2011 I acquired two AEM 30-1610's, used for $500 and brand new for $550. I still sold them both to get a NEMU.

Btw why would OBD2 be so much cheaper @BenFenner?

I can answer that, because nobody wants them.

I believe @Kyle has it. Not many folks modifying FWD OBDII SR20s to that extent. Not many of them out there, and not many in a performance chassis. Also tough vehicle inspections to deal with.

Yah, but did you make a good profit? And could you have used them anyway? You probably needed OBDI, right?

One I lost money one I made money thus broke even.

To me it didn't matter if it was OBD1 or 2 because I'm OBD2 32 bit, I had to make a step down harness/repin harness either way I went. I honestly didn't want to deal with the complexity of getting a stand alone running for a DD, plus Serial port for communications, oh please...

soo just a question I just did my whole gnition over would be y first time ofically it runs awesome but I noticed I went t grab a red box with the GF and lett my car idle on the new tune pretty much just did base timing and remapped ignition map but when my comp got up to 192ect I did a burn out in the parking lot then hit he streets and the check engine light popped on like it went into limp mode and I literally couldn't put load on the engine it would hesitate so I loaded base tune and everything was fine then my ect had gone down so I decided to go for round 2 , I reloaded the tune I did and it was fine 0 knock count kv was around 2v highest it just hit 4 under heavy load nut I don't know why y my mil came on im guessing limp mode
