AEM EMS sensors?

blageo23 · 07-30-2006

To run AEM EMS on my car Ive read a bit and came up with these sensors I will need...
GM 3Bar MAP sensor
GM Air Intake Temp Sensor
GM Boost Control Solenoid

Is there any other sensors I need?

The GM boost control solenoid is optional. I've read that the EMS boost control function is tough to get right, but I don't run it, so I can't say for sure. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Shane will be setting mine up, but That's the list I'm running. You really don't need anything else, and that boost control solenoid is basically a cheaper elec. boost controller.

If you want to run over 29psi, you will want to go with the AEM 5 bar map sensor. AEM makes a AIT kit also that comes with the pigtail for the ATI sensor.

Now for the boost control solenoid what do you hook that up to? Ive searched a bit and noone really says. Ive already got the IAT and MAP sensor figured out.
Thanks,
Mike

You re-wire it to plug into the stock boost control solenoid plug, that NO ONE ever has on their cars.

In the second post the guy talks about "blocking" and "Bleeding". What do you guys think is better?

I didn't really read it, but I believe the way you put in an MBC is the "block" method. That's the way I'd assume the GM solenoid goes in, as this is also the way the stock boost solenoid is installed (correct me if I'm wrong).

The MBC is a "block". But the GM solenoid has 3 nipples and it can be ran either way.
