AEM debuted their new Infinity standalone EMS at SEMA 2011. AEM set out to be the best on this one with a no expense spared spec sheet, this ECU is something to look forward to. The ‘Infinity’ universal engine management system will be sold with application specific vehicle/mfr plug and play harnesses, while others can use a universal wiring harness to incorporate this standalone ems.

The AEM Infinity EMS is new from the ground up, and boasts many powerful features including VE tuning, dual drive-by-wire throttle body control, quad cam control, flex fuel support, traction control based on wheel speed or engine acceleration, electronic turbo wastegate boost control, data logging, two-step, three-step, anti-lag and more!

Details on the AEM Infinity ECU:
12 Peak-and-hold Injector Drivers
10 Ignition Outputs
23 Analog Inputs
8 Digital Inputs
10 Low Side Drivers
3 High Side Drivers
2 Internal Wideband AFR Controllers
2 Adaptive Knock Channels
4 Cam Control
Idle Control
Boost Control
Traction Control
Two-Step
Three-Step
Antilag
Dual Fuel Pump Control
Dual Fan Control
4-Stage Nitrous Control
Advanced 1KHZ Datalogging and Analysis, includes 2GB Flash Drive Standard (32GB Max)

Looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to get my hands on one. A lot of the new additions are things I've tried to work on and bent the V1 EMS to make it work, but they are bandaids. A few thigns I like about it, dual fuel pump contol, cam profile control, three step, realtime flex fuel management, dual internal widebands, and two adaptive knock channels.

Nice.

Interesting. So basically they copied proefi. (flex fuel, integrated widebands, etc). Curious to see what pricing will be for a 3S specific unit.

Having just bought a series 2 I am not amused.

I'm excited for this! I'm thinking I may just have to throw one of these in my car to be a test car for these before we start selling them hehe :D

I guess I wont be upgrading to series 2.

A little birdie told me series 1 is still better than series 2.

Now, what I can't understand is, why does this $1k+ EMU have a processor that is 1/5 the speed of the processor in my phone?? 200mhz processors are from like '98, what gives?

Cool! Will/Does AEM have their own content analyzers or will this EMS utilize GM's unit?

I was thinking the same thing heh.

nice. i'll get one since all i care about is flex fuel. about time we can have ems that can run flex fuel.

I think with this series you'll have to make a patch harness. With all the extra features I wouldn't think its going to be "plug and play" . Prolly have to wire it in Just like an SM-4 Universal.

I could certainly make and sell a patch harness for it if some folks don't like playing with spagetti or just don't feel comfortable with wiring. :)

Its still in beta so we'll see how it compares with ProEFI. Anyone want to bet the Supra guys get it first...?

Personally, I like V1 more tha V2. I also know very little about software engineering. I can make just about anything work with a bread board but microprocessor design and code are beyond my skillset.

My guess as to why GEM's are still old tech? I would think you can only process data as fast as it can be processed? Maybe there's no need to upgrade speed because the simple devices and wiring which control the EFI in our vehicles is nearly 20 years old?

Form what I have read, they plan on making the series2 do flexfuel but had put it on hold to work on this project. This is not a replacement for the series2 box, it is a higher end option from what I read on the aem forums.

I was happy with my series 1 & only replaced it with the series 2 after finding out that I would not be able to wire in my 8 channel AEM CDI & AEM COP's with the S1. there are not enough available coil drivers on the S1 so you have to keep wasted spark & wire in the CDI as a 4 Channel.

That would be my guess to, with how many advanced electronics AEM has I'm sure if they wanted to put a 1ghz processor in there they could lol but why bother if the system only needs 100 mhz.

Adaptronic 1280s has been out for a while now and has just as many if more features!
Adaptronic e1280s | Adaptronic - Energize Your Engine!

there are some other options too like Motec, Haltec and Autronic just to name few (some of them need more work than others,)...

Because the 8mhz CPU that came stock in your car was still plenty fast enough to control fuel, ignition, boost, closed loop fuel feedback, diagnostics and a handful of other functions.

You can't apply PC thinking to embedded electronics. They're two totally different worlds.

Maybe there is no need for more power ? .as why most high end marine electronics like autopilots etc use low MHz processors, low power demand, low heat, stability ...

And still probably more computor power than it took to send the Saturn 3 rockets to the Moon.
Jeff

Expected MSRP?

Curious to see cost

I did read that it makes 400,000,000 calculations a second and the fastest ecu recorded for a car is 125,000,000. I don't think the proccesser will be a problem. I also saw someone mention it should be around $2,500 as well.

I just got done talking to my sales rep at AEM and he said that they are planning to release it 1st quarter of 2012 so it will be coming out soon. He didn't want to give me a set price as there are still things that need to be worked out but he said the 2500 was a safe bet. One other thing he mentioned was that he couldn't commit to telling me the lineup of what vehicle specific models would be coming out at least initially meaning we may not get one that is vehicle specific for our cars right away.

It's not much info but I figured I'd share what I know.

From what I've heard there's already a couple floating around the pro-mod/stock scene . . . and NOT Supras. :D

It's a pretty wicked system and should make some SERIOUS power.

Will be nice if it comes out in plug & play. But none of the features on that are new. The Vi-PEC V88 has been able to do all of these things for ages. As has many others. My Vi-PEC plug & Play supports almost all of those features except DBW [but is supported on the V44 & V88].

yeah but only a 40 MHz processor. :001_tt2: :tongue_smilie:

Any updates on this?
