For Immediate Release

AEM’s Fuel/Ignition Controller-8 (F/IC-8) Delivers

Piggyback Engine Control for Mitsubishi Race Vehicles!

April 16, 2008, Hawthorne, CA – AEM is proud to introduce its new F/IC-8 (part# 30-1930)! The F/IC-8 is a PC programmable unit designed for OBD-II factory or non-factory forced induction race vehicles with up to eight cylinders. It provides the ability to retard ignition and deliver accurate amounts of fuel, eliminates the need for outdated FMUs or “boost hiding” controllers and can handle up to 25 PSI of boost.

WHAT IT DOES

THE F/IC-8 ensures precise fuel delivery and timing retard control, and allows for sensor calibration & control. This system works parallel to the factory ECU, preventing tuning limitations due to complex factory timing patterns. Since the F/IC-8 works in conjunction with the factory ECU, late-model race vehicles equipped with a CAN-BUS system retain functionality of climate controls, dash and other components on the network.

WHY IT’S BETTER

The F/IC-8 features advanced injector load simulation and filtering, selectable high/low voltage mag-driver outputs and five cam/crank timing channels. This enables the F/IC-8 to adapt to virtually any race engine up to eight cylinders, including those with DOHC and variable valve timing (VVT)! In fact, current F/IC-6 users can convert to an F/IC-8 to gain the additional features with no additional wiring!

Frequency-based flow meter support means there are no limitations due to Karmann Vortex-style MAF sensors common to Mitsubishi and GM applications. Users who are not using a frequency –based MAF can convert this function for vehicle speed sensor mapping to recalibrate speedometers for larger tires, etc. NOTE: Users can elect to use this feature for either a frequency-based flow meter sensor or speedometer re-mapping but not both features simultaneously.

A 41 PSIA (approximately 25 PSI boost) boost controller is built into the F/IC-8 that enables feedback control (requires purchase of AEM Boost Solenoid, part# 30-2400), and the unit includes an Air Inlet Temperature (AIT) logging input.

LOTS OF LOGGING

The F/IC-8 delivers 2MB of on-board memory for data logging, compared to the 64KB logger on the F/IC-6.

EVOLVED ENCLOSURE

The F/IC-8 motherboard and ancillary controllers are housed in a new, smaller extruded aluminum enclosure that is black anodized with a laser-engraved logo. It looks great externally mounted, and is small enough to tuck away on most vehicles.

Additional Features

§  Eight (8) injector inputs with simulated injector load used when remapping OEM injectors

§  Eight (8) fuel injector controllers for either remapping of ECU output (+/- 100% trim) or as a stand-alone extra injector driver

§  21x17 maps with configurable load and RPM breakpoints

§  Analog in/out for remapping/clamping MAF

§  F/IC draws power from PC USB interface for quick and easy calibration changes

§  Drives high impedance injectors or low impedance injectors with use of Peak & Hold Injector Driver Box (sold separately)

§  Three (3) channels of timing retard

§  Supports MAG or HALL sensor types

§  On board 41PSIA (approx. 25PSI boost) manifold pressure sensor

§  Windows-based tuning software for easy interface
