Well I tried buying some header flanges from IPS Motorsports, and apparrently they're never ever going to ship, just like last time I tried buying them.
So I'm trying to find a place locally to get some flanges cut with a waterjet. Then I can finish the new single turbo kit and get the car running.
Im a newb to aem, is there a base map we could download or something so the car runs correctly? I havent gotten a aem yet, just trying to ask some questions and make sure everything goes well before i jump in too.
Yeah, the AEMPro software comes with basemaps for the 1st and 2nd gen 3000GT/Stealth.
A company out of California called Specialty Products and Design Makes flanges for our cars if your still looking for a set Roy.
Cool Thanks, I found a PDF with their prices so I might give them a call next week.
Well I really hate cold weather and haven't felt like going out in the garage at all lately. So since I was too lazy to get wood for the wood stove, I decided to buy a natural gas heater as a birthday present.
I went with a fairly small unit, but it has no problem heating the 1050 sq-ft garage since its' insulated pretty well. With the thermostat set at 53 the heater doesn't run very often, and thats warm enough for me to stay out there for a few hours. Luckily the gas line and electrical wiring were already ran a corner in the back of the garage.

well, that is just awesome. Its about 30-35 deg in my garage, can't really work for more than 1-1.5 hours. I wounder if they make some used oil burner heaters or some like that...
If you want a wood stove I might be able to sell the one I have, with a bunch of free stove piping too. You'd just have to run it through your roof. But it is nice to be able to just set a temperature and wait for it to warm up.
God I know what you mean! You live in the wrong place to hate the cold. My car is ready to drive and I can't even bring myself to put the damn bumper on. I can't stand the winter, I do like the snow though :D.Quote:

Would a 30-1010 work?
I would think so. According to the documentation it has enough spare coil and injector outputs.
How would i pin in the spare injector outputs?
Mine (30-1010) is for an (OBD2B) integra and i found the pinout for it here http://technet.ff-squad.com/wiring.obd2b.htm
Now if im not mistaken, i do not have to use plug in "D" correct?
It looks like you might need pin D1 (Idle #3) which is pin 5 on the 3000GT/Stealth EMS.
For injectors 5 & 6 you could use B19 and B16. Theres a few more available listed in the PDF.
Since I was working on a friends car tonight, and he brought over free beer, I'll have to review my post in the morning for accuracy... :lol:

Alright, now that I'm sober I looked into it some more. The 1010 doesn't seem to have an "Injector #3" pin, so if you were to use B16 (Injector #8) as injector #3, I think you'd have to modify the injector phasing so #8 fires as if it were #3.
If you go into the Full Options list in AEMPro theres "Inject tooth #1", "Inject tooth #2", etc... I *think* you would turn off Injector #3, turn on #8, and copy the value from "Inject tooth #3" to "Inject tooth #8". And under Options->Injector make sure #8 is "Primary". But I have never tried this personally.
So I would match up all injectors with the correct pin in the 1010 diagram (1,2,4,5,6), then choose a pin such as B16 for Injector #3.

There is a pin for injector 3, its B4Quote:

Edit2: oh my bad, i found the 1010 manual so im looking at that too now
Yeah, thats Injector 3 on the Honda ECU but Injector #4 on the AEM EMS.

Edit2: after reading and looking at it a few times i believe i was correct in edit 1 of this post.
For the resistors, i picked up 2.2k ohm resistors but i think i may have picked up the ones. Mine look alittle larger than yours and mine are 1/2 watt 5% tolerance
And also, for the coils, do they just pull out?
The jumpers for each coil? Yeah, those will slide right off to change position.
Ok and what about the resistors? What wattage and tolerance did you use?Quote:

I went to radioshack and bought pretty much all different wattages since they're only 99c a pack..
I compared which ones i had to the ones you soldered in and the ones that matched the closest were the 1/8 watt ones.. all the other wattages are longer than the 1/8s
Would it be possible to use a stock honda map sensor too?
:suspect:
I'm not sure of the specs on the Honda MAP sensors, but I don't think they'd support high enough pressure. The stock MAP sensors I've used in the past on other cars weren't good for more than 5-10 psi.
Well I'm getting really close to being able to start the car now. I put in oil and coolant tonight so I could turn it over, I've got spark on all 6 cylinders which is good. I just have to put the intake manifold on and buy an alternator belt, then I can finally try to start it.
Sweet im so ready.
Well I was hoping to have a much longer video than this, but my IACV doesn't seem to be working anymore, so the car won't idle. But at least it runs a bit :lol:. I also don't have a wideband yet so it was running way too rich. I'll probably work on it again in a few days and try to make it driveable.
The squealing in the background is my truck, I had to use it to jump the car since I don't have an alternator belt yet.

Cool, I hope you get it going good soon.
Awesome man! So what your saying is I could get a 1050, switch the jumpers, load the 3000GT map, wire it in, and it would work like one meant for a 3000GT? If it doesn't cause any stupid little issues I would so do that!
Can you use the AEM EMS without the IAT/MAP sensor? Just with a stock setup?
I wanted to get an AEM for a while but too expensive and since this car is my DD I don't want to risk not being able to tune it, but for $500 I'd try this and swap in my OEM ECU until I get the AEM fully tuned.
Yeah basically. A friend of mine is running the 1050 on his IS300 and its' been working great for 2 years.
You can run MAF or MAP. The 3S Basemap is setup for MAF. I ran without an IAT sensor on my other VR4 for a couple of months.
Awesome, thanks!
I finally got the car to idle today. My MAP sensor is putting out .48 volts when it shouldn't go under .50 according to the AEM calibration. So it was using the TPS as load and was wayyy off. I've got to figure out whats up with that.
My Fuel map is all jacked up right now, but it runs.
So finally, heres a 3000GT running on a Honda AEM EMS.

Very cool! congrats!
What was that loud noise? Was it backfiring?
Yeah its' been backfiring a bit, the A/F is all over the place. The downpipe isn't connected to the exhaust so its' pretty loud.
Got any plans on going to the dyno? Are you going to tune it yourself?Quote:

Very cool. Didnt sound like it was running on all cylinders though.
Mind sharing your map? im going to be starting mine up soon
My laptop died last week while I was in Texas. I'm waiting for my replacement, then I could pull teh map off the EMS if you still want it. But its basically just the basemap modified a bit with some minimal idle tuning done. I've been trying to save money for other things over the past month or so, so the car is on teh back burner. I'll probably get teh itch to make it drivable once it starts getting warm again.
