AEM EMS What Sensors Needed/Not Needed

[blageo23]

I want to clean up the engine bay of wires and sensors. Im running AEM EMS with GM MAP sensor and GM IAT sensor. What sensors/soliniods can I get rid of with AEM EMS? Im pretty sure I can get rid of the EGR and emission soliniods. What else can I get rid of?
Thanks,
Mike

Anything you want.
I would recommend to keep coolant temp, knock, cas/cam, IAT,MAP.
Everything else can be ditched, unless your particular vehicle uses the thermostat housing to control the fans via a thermocoupler. Then you might have to do some trigger wiring, but you can delete those as well if you do the wiring.

Well thats cool, Then there isnt much wire in the engine bay. Im trying to make the underhood look really nice and I think that deleting the bulk wiring will help out alot.

PS: this is post #1000 for me :)

So here is what I think Im keeping...
Brake fluid level
Crank sensor
Cam sensor
Coolant temp
Coolant light
IAC
Oil press
Oil light
MAP
IAT

I just read that the AEM doesnt really look at O2s. So Im going to eliminate the front one and the back one is being swaped out for a AEM wideband controler. Does that sound good? Any sensors you see here that I would need or some that could be eliminated?
Thanks!

You will want to keep TPS and knock. Idle control is extremely nice too. Also save the stock boost solenoid wiring for hooking a GM boost solenoid to.

Dont you want the wideband up closer to the turbo?

[blageo23]

according to the AEM install it says to have it "18" away but if you are planing to be running a turbocharger running at high RPMs for a extended period of time or running leaded gas it should be at least 36" downstream"
Yah I forgot about the TPS and Knock, I planed on leaving them. and I have the GM BCS on there wired up alread.
Im thinking about moving up to the AEM sensors, IAT, 5Bar, BCS.

In terms of sensor performance, does it matter where the wideband is placed in the exhaust travel path?

What is stated in my above post is what AEM recomends

I run mine in the stockish position and it's fine. It is recommended to run it farther downstream because they're not as robust as a regular 02 sensor.
