NEW AEM Standalone / Flex fuel integrated, The Infinity Series

[J. Fast]

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?

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

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!

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

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?

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.
