AEM Tru Boost Install Help AND Settings for R33 GTST?


Recommended Posts

Can I get yalls input on the AEM Tru Boost settings for my mostly stock GTST (rb25det)?  I'd like to run maybe 7psi on low and 10psi on high.  What settings do I need to configure the Tru Boost to get these results?  

I was reading the manual and it gives me a headache talking about pulse wave and blah blah blah lol. 

Also, any tips for install would be appreciated.  I'm just gonna install in my ashtray.  

Thanks guys!

I'm old enough to remember when AEM's stuff was absolute shite. They have simply never had much market penetration into Australia, hence my statement.

I have no idea how good/bad they are right now, but there are several other brands for simply everything they do that I would choose before I even bothered to remember that AEM exist.

AEM products are fantastic in my opinion and I have pushed to use them the last 20 years. Their fuel pumps are renowned for being indestructible (I run 2x), their ecu's have a lot more features then Haltech (Scripting, Proper IO testing, etc.) I've had zero issues with any of their products including Tru boost, widebands, WMI kits, etc. 

I wasn't ever aware of them being known for bad products, but if they did; it's changed.

ugh.  that bad?

I ran one years ago in a 93 STI. They work great. Just slowly increase duty cycle until it reaches the pressure you're trying to achieve. Nobody will be able to tell you the exact duty cycle % you need for your setup for a specific boost. It will be trial and error.

I don’t think they’re known for junk but they aren’t particularly standouts as far as I know.

AEM widebands are decent, better than the Innovate junk - no self combusting heater circuits.

That's my experience too. Before I had a CAN based wideband, I always used an AEM wideband (I wouldn't be surprised if I was using one for over 10 years without issue).

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
