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!

You'll possibly be the first and only person with one in an R33. Most of Australia doesn't touch AEM stuff.

Could you elaborate? I don't remember it being mentioned much in the forums.

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).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
