AEM + DFI ignition setup?

reflexx · 01-04-2007, 09:41 AM

1) anyone running this type of setup with 4 direct fire coils?
2) if you do, would you share your cal?
3) how do you have it rigged up? AEM EMS -> AEM CDI -> coils ?
4) do I need an igniter?

Those AEM CDI boxes burn up a lot. We've played around with them quite a bit here in the local Oregon group. You'd do better to just get an MSD ignition, and retain use of the distributor.

I was looking into the same thing, from my research (take a look on the AEM forum) their ignition units work well but do not last. To my knowledge they are not fixed as of yet.

^^Exactly. RRev Motorsports is local to me, and they went through 3 or 4 boxes in a week, just prior to SILV2006. Several of the boxes were DOA, and none of them made it past tuning the car on the dyno. (9 second Supra) They ended up putting an MSD box in temporarily, so they could still bring the car to Vegas.
