The AEM Engine Management System (EMS) is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of vehicles. Each system is engineered for a particular application. The AEM EMS differs from all others in several ways. The EMS is a “stand-alone”, which completely replaces the factory ECU and features unique plug and play technology. There is no need to modify the factory wiring harness and in most cases the vehicle may be returned to stock in a matter of minutes. The AEMPro software is configured to work with the factory sensors and equipment, so there is no need for expensive or hard to find sensors, making replacements and repairs as simple as with any stock vehicle. For stock and slightly modified vehicles, the AEMPro software can be programmed with base parameters, providing a solid starting point for beginner tuning. For more heavily modified cars, the EMS has many spare inputs and outputs allowing the elimination of add-on rev-limiters, boost controllers, nitrous controllers, fuel computers, etc. It also includes a configurable onboard data logger capable of recording 512kb of information. Every EMS comes with all functions installed and activated, and there are no expensive options or upgrades to be performed.

The ‘I4′ DOHC engine first introduced in the Ford Sierra and Granada models of late 1989 was only available in the Sierra in 2.0-litre 8-valve form. While power output improvements can be made to the stock 2.0 8v engine, as documented in a separate article entitled ‘DOHC tuning’ and available from http://www.crustworld.co.uk/sierra/dohctuning.pdf, the engine output is ultimately limited by the availability and cost-effectiveness of off-the-shelf tuning parts.
