Using a Honda AEM EMS on a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

I think you'd be just fine with the 1/2 watt. I can't find the package from my resistors, but I would guess 1/4 watt 5% tolerance, I got them from radio shack.

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?

[Roy]

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.

[Unknownvr4]

Sweet im so ready.

[Roy]

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 . 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.

[Roy]

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.
