Davito_MJ Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Does anyone have installed this device to a renix? I'm on the process of supercharging the manche but I cannot rev it past 1500rpm, I have just hooked the crank signal, the car start and diles but won't pass 1500rpm. If I plug the bypass harness provided it works normal, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This looks like an OBD1/OBD2 piggyback chip similar to the Unichip. Doubt it can play with the Renix system ECU. There's info on it in the strokers.com forum, but I don't see it being used on a Renix system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Well I will need to investiga te a lot, the AEM téchnical service recommended me to use the 30-9013 model and said it Will work, I have just contacted them and they recommend using resistors on the crank connection to the FIC 6, Does any one now how to install tose resistors?

HOrnbrod Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The resistor (what value?) would be installed in series with the crank signal output to the AEM to reduce it's amplitude. Doesn't AEM have detailed install instructions for the installation of their box on specific vehicles? Unichip provides wiring diagrams for every vehicle their chip can be used on. You might want to ask your questions over on the strokers forum - maybe someone with a Renix stroker is using the AEM FIC6. https://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Thanks a lot hornbrod, One more question: does the renix have mag or hall style sensors in regards of crank and sync? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 No idea on the Renix, someone else will have to let you know. I know the 91 HOs have a mag (2-wire) and in 92 they changed to a Hall (3-wire), so maybe that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just found this DIY: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/scion-tc-1g-forced-induction-1645/diy-aem-f-ic-harness-resistor-mod-154729/?styleid=15 I am also using mag style wire is that correct for a renix system on both sensors? Crank and sync... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Kinda curious why you went with this rather than a Megasquirt II or such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I thought the Renix crank sensor was a hall effect type? Suppose I could look in the book and see if they say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Because I don't know much about tunning and thougt it would be easier but guess what hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The FSM alludes to it being a magnetic sensor (VRS), but they don't say. However, you need 3 wires for a Hall sensor to work, so it can't be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Si, it's a magnetic rotating switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just an update: tried diferentes resistors on crank and cam signal and Still same issue, not revs above 1500rpm, installed bypass harness and same problem with resistor installed on crank signal, I did take off the resistor with the bypass installed and worked fine no issues, so I still have a problem with the signal on the AEM FIC 6, any ideas?

HOrnbrod Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What does AEM say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davito_MJ Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Well, still waiting for response via email, don't have the time at work to give them a call..when I called them they recommended to try the resistor and see what happens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 A big problem you will have with the crank signal is that it's not a typical missing tooth setup like a 36-1. I know the HO Models have an 18-2-2-2 trigger sequence in an inverted style signal setup. The nice thing about using a megasquirt is that they included all of the Jeep crank signals in their firmware now, and you can do a plug and play EMS to retain the factory wiring. You may want to contact AEM and see if their tech guys can tell you if that device can decode the Jeep crank signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are over 100 posts on the Jeep Strokers forum regarding the AEM FIC 6. Suggest you join the forum and take the time to read them. I seriously doubt you will find anyone here who has experience with this piggyback chip. https://www.jeepstrokers.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
