have it for my s13 sr20. love it. gave me some trouble intially while setup, but it was because of a simple mistake. make sure you get a new disk for your cam sensor, mine didnt come in my box... headaches for a few months. after i got it sorted out though (it was backordered), everything went smooth.

did you get the one with built in wideband? are you using the stock maf.. upgrading.. map system?

same here....has some quirks but the unit works great once its all sorted out...and its tunable by many shops just expect to pay a good amount.

Love it to death, if you can understand basic ems you can get it running. Not sure on the sr20s but if there is a base cal set it up. Go through all the "wizards" and select the injectors/mas,map sensor/coolant temp etc. I hope you have a wideband also. Gotta sync the timing which isnt too hard. Go on the ems forums and start researching. www.aempower.com

I have had AEM since the begining of the AEM EMS. I had one of the first 20 boxes made. I have gone through all the software upgrades from back when it was version .73>.89>.94 and so on. I have seen alot of the problems and have worked with AEM to help resolve problems with the software. It has come a long way and I think it is a great system for the money. It is much simpler now to use and setup. If you have any questions let me know. Just be patient with the box. A lot of times when people think it is the boxes fault it is usually user error that causes the problems.

i had it for my supra. this was over 3 years ago when they first came out with it. had a lot of quarks, There were a ton of add ons i had to buy to get it remotely working correctly. I ended up trading it for a Geforce (stock ecu flashed and all limiters removed and tuned specific for your set up)
