AEM has come out with a really comprehensive update for their Series 2 EMS. It allows us to run a variety of new features:
- Flex Fuel: Flex fuel and ignition maps, flex o2 fb map, flex boost target tables, starting tables, accel tables, warm up tables. This will also utilize a standard GM fuel composition sensor and has Freq. based input meaning it does not require any converter boxes or 0-5v signal generators. Wire the flex fuel sender directly to your series 2!
- Lean Protection: Load and RPM based lean protection for use with your wideband input. It also has a configurable output signal.
- Fuel Pressure Protection: The series 2 can now look at fuel pressure as an input and shut down the engine if fuel pressure isn't maintained within a configurable window.
- Oil Pressure Protection: There is a user configurable oil pressure limit table which establishes the minimum allowable oil pressure based on engine speed.
- Coolant Temp Protection: Configurable maximum engine RPM based on coolant temperature to prevent engine damage on a cold or hot motor.
- Knock Control: Individual cylinder based knock windowing and knock control. If a single cylinder detects knock, ignition and fuel trims are applied directly and only to the offending cylinder. This is cruicial for pump gas street cars running boost! Modern forced induction motors are making 400-700 horsepower with small engines due to the advancements in knock control at WOT, and this is a step in the right direction.
- Spare temp/pressure inputs: We use these inputs for oil temperature, pre-intercooler IAT, among other helpful channels for your race car utilizing the onboard logging.
- 3 step rev limiter: VSS and gear based 3 step rev limiting to help traction limited cars.
- Boost target trim: User selectable analog input for boost target trim INCLUDING RPM based boost targets which will allow us to trickle in additional boost at high RPM for traction limited cars, or engines where too much torque can lift the head or hurt the rods in the midrange. This also helps for octane limited cars where we reach the knock threshold in the midrange but can add more power in up top.

FSR headed out to Coalinga, CA this last weekend to join some friends at the always exciting Shift S3ctor event. We felt right at home with several turbo Supra's and Turbocharged E46 M3's both in attendance and racing. As usual, the GTR's were there in force and dominating much of the racing. There were also several extremely fast Porsche turbos, a smattering of WW2 era sounding AMG machinery, and a variety of boosted N54 E9x cars. The turbo BMW's held there own against stiff competition with Kenton's red car laying down several 170mph + pulls with his fantastic driving and awesome new Radium powered fuel system. Jason was also making headway all weekend with his crazy 1000 hp widebody car getting faster every run! We were also able to show the guys the latest iteration of our E46 M3 turbo kit featuring flex fuel, traction control, on the fly map switching and true closed loop VANOS control. Look for more updates on that car this week! All in all it was a great weekend and we can't wait for the next one!

We have turbocharged this car, un-turbocharged this car, and tried a myriad of different combinations of intake and exhaust manifolds, turbo sizes from 62mm all the way up to 80mm, and so many different things in between. In our latest iterations of our painfully exhausting research and development, you can see, and hear, the fruits of our labor working with the perfect intake manifold. We were not only able to build an intake manifold that could handle tremendous boost and top end power, but we managed to boost power and torque naturally aspirated, too!. Combined with precise, true closed loop VANOS control, we are seeing power and consistency never before available to the E46 turbo world. This intake manifold, with a short ram or cold air intake, will shortly be available in our online webstore for those running stand alone engine management naturally aspirated (or turbo!)and looking for maximum power and a sound that can ONLY come from a hand fabricated Aluminum intake manifold; plastic or carbon fiber couldn't come close! Our turbo kit is already installed and running but we wanted to share this sound.
