You have installed a turbo charger, added nitrous oxide injection, adjusted the camshaft timing and still you cannot get the horse power, torque and RPM where you want them. Well it is time to update that old standard distributor ignition system with a more dependable high performance distributor-less ignition system. The conventional distributor ignition system can only increase spark output by increasing the voltage to the primary side of the coil. Under tremendous cylinder pressures, from high boost, loads of nitrous, fully compressed cylinders can become so electrically un-conducive, that the spark energy's path of least resistance is a jump to the following cylinder in the distributor cap. This is known as spark scatter and may become a RPM limiting aspect. This is caused by dwell time-decreasing as the RPM increases. Switching to an individual coil system will eliminate these problems and AMEs New EPM has not only made this possible, but has also offered some improvements over the factory stock Honda design, beginning with the function of the cam and crank position sensors. The factory stock distributor's sensors are magnetic which renders them prone to electro-magnetic interference that causes their signal to be weak and undetectable by the ECU until they reach a certain rotational speed. The EPM uses twin optical pickups and a laser-etched trigger wheel to overcome this issue. The EMP will not work with the factory stock ECU, but if you want to switch over to a coil-on-plug ignition; you will no-doubt be running a stand-alone system anyway. The EPM's will work with most engine management system and also accommodate a wide range of coil pack options, but AEM recommends that you use AME EMS, CDI and Pencil Coils for the best performance. The following is breakdown of each of these components. Engine Position Module (EPM) AEM's Engine Position Module (EPM) replaces the engine's OEM distributor and allows for the use of coil-on-plug or wasted-park ignition systems. It provides precise engine position utilizing dual zero-speed optical sensors; which provides the benefit of immediate signal generation regardless of engine speed. The EPM adapts easily to any positive-drive, half-engine speed device such as a cam or distributor drive, and can be used with any aftermarket engine management system that recognizes the common 24 & 1 pattern for crank and cam signals. Digital Multi-Channel Twin-Fire Ignition (CDI) AEM's digital multi-channel Twin-Fire Ignition is light, small and most cost effective CD ignition module available. This unit works with either coil-on-plug or distributor type spark systems, and is ideal for race applications utilizing aftermarket engine management systems. Plug & Play Engine Management Systems (EMS) AEM's Plug & Play Engine Management System (EMS) plugs directly into a car's OEM ECU harness and requires no additional wiring. The Windows? software is compatible with (95, 98 2000, XP) and makes the task of copying, viewing and manipulating the data as easy as the clicking a mouse button. The integrated tuning wizard allows the user to create a base map specifically for a vehicles custom engine configuration; regardless of the aftermarket changes made to the engine. The AEM EMS's software allows tuners to program virtually any combination of engine control, aftermarket devices, and accurately delivers the proper amounts of fuel as well as the correct ignition timing for optimum performance. Pencil Coil Kit (COP) AEM Pencil Coils are available in four and six inch lengths and can purchased individually or in four packs. Each pencil coil comes with a locking water tight sealed connector, connector pins.
