AEM EMS compatability
I have a 92 honda civic si w/ jdm h22a swap. The car uses mostly prelude engine harness with a some combination of civic harness. My question is I just bought a AEM EMS unit 1001 which was made for a 92-95 honda accord. Does anyone know if it will work with my car?

well the person who sold it to me said that it was a 30-1040 but when i receive it it was a 30-1001. I bought it on honda-tech. I've done a ton of research and know what model with work with my car. It's just that I'm trying to make the best out of the situation seeing that I was scam.

there is no base program for the AEM EMS supplied with it... that's what's killer for that system. you have to start from ABSOULTELY NOTHING lol my buddy did it on his del sol. you basically have a blank circuit board and you gotta set everything from fuel pump priming time, injector pulsewidth, sensor ranges... everything.
anyways, the EMS is universal, as long as you have some kinda harness to start with, you should be able to make it work, or at least purchase the correct components from AEM.

Another reason why i'd never dish out that kind of cash for a standalone, when crome works flawlessly. I've never used AEM EMS and prolly wouldn't now knowing what i know.
But thats good for this guy in his situation b/c if it plugs into his harness he could definately use it.....althought standalone for a h22 swap?!??!?!?

the EMS affords you a level of flexibility never seen with the crome.
for example... you wanna run a GM 3 bar, with ford injectors, and Honda CBR929 individual coil packs... on a 1963 428 Cobrajet engine... the EMS can do that.
it can run any combination of parts you can throw at it... it can run distributor, or coil packs, or whatever you want... 2 injectors per cylinder... sure.... no problem. you want an electric clutch supercharger to run to 4500 rpm, then a massive turbo to take over... all seamlessly through your ECU... the EMS can do that. imagination is your limit.

b/c you know, you need that for anything other than a full out race car.
I'd hope for more than triple the cost of a crome tune you'd get a lot more flexability.
For the other 99% of the people crome/hondata/neptune will work just fine IMO.

well for even something like that crome would have done just fine. it's only when you get into ITBs and individual coil on plug ingitions that you want something like Motec, EMS, Haltronic, etc...but nonetheless it looks like a killer build and i wish you the best of luck with it. there is a guy here locally with a 6th gen coupe, with an H22A turbo and he allegedly runs low12s or something...
