Infinity Quick Start Guide

Background

The Infinity platform is very different from previous generation AEM EMS products. The hardware (circuit board assembly) is designed around a very advanced automotive grade microcontroller (processor or “chip”). Several layers of software reside on this chip that allow for real time firmware programming without the need to write computer code. This technology has allowed AEM to develop advanced control models never before used on other AEM EMS products. We’ve listened to our customers over the years and have attempted to simplify the tuning process by employing an airflow based fuel control model eliminating many of the lookup and trim tables from previous generation ECUs. The look and feel is very different and it may take some time to adjust to the new tuning environment.

Our new tuning tool, Infinity Tuner is also a brand new product built from the ground up to interface with the new hardware. It features a modular design that allows users and developers to build completely customized templates and even design “plug in” applications that can automate many tuning tasks. Unlike previous AEM Setup Wizards in older products like AEM Pro and AEM Tuner, the Infinity Tuner Setup Wizard “plug in” is a completely stand-alone application that will evolve with Infinity Tuner. It is much more integrated with the ECU hardware and performs complex validation checks for all requested changes.

Among other things, Infinity Tuner is a powerful math processor. Special features allow users to create completely custom conversion channels for table data. Virtually any function can be employed to display data in different formats or units. Math functions are also used for table edits. ANY MATH function can be used not just a list of pre-defined selections. Advanced users will really enjoy the flexibility this feature adds.

A built-in logging playback/controls synchronization feature allows tuners to view live plot data and make changes to their calibration values on the fly, knowing exactly where the ECU was accessing table data. For more detailed post processing of data, AEM offers its new analysis package, AEMdata.

7) When the message at the bottom indicates that it’s safe to close the window, click "X” button on the top right of the window.

For applications that use a stepper motor idle valve, it's important that a full power reset be done prior to starting the engine. Turn the key off and wait at least 20 seconds before starting. This will allow the stepper valve to park and reset.

A firmware update will erase the USB log channel list stored in the ECU memory. This channel list will need to be reset before USB logging will function correctly. See Log Menu for more info.

Troubleshooting: If the process hangs at any point, wait at least one minute for it to continue. Some PCs take longer to reconnect to to the ECU during this process. Some PCs may have other processes running that affect the response time of the USB ports. If the process has not continued as described above after one minute, do not cycle key power. Instead, remove the USB cable from the PC, wait a few seconds then plug it back in. Often this will force the OS to reset the port allowing the process to continue.

Tuning Guide

Basic Tuning

Calibration Data

Connecting, Saving and Importing Session Data

1) With the Ignition in the ON position and InfinityTuner Running, click on the Connection menu item and select Connect to USB from the dropdown list. A progress bar will be displayed as the laptop gets the calibration info from the ECU.

2) Open a layout file by clicking on the Layout menu item and select Open. Layout files have a .itlyt extension and should be saved in the My Documents\InfinityTuner\Layouts folder.

3) Save the session file by selecting File – Save session. Session files have a .itssn extension and should be saved in the My Documents\InfinityTuner folder.

The default calibration data provided by AEM should be sufficient to start an engine with similar displacement, sensor setup, and injectors. Every vehicle must be tuned before use. AEM provided base calibration data is installed to the My Documents\AEM\Infinity Tuner\Sessions folder. To import calibration data from a saved session file, go to File > Import calibration data.

Wait a few moments for the operation to complete. Status messages are displayed during the

Tuning Guide

process notifying the user of each step along the way. If the import function is done while connected to an ECU, after the import is complete:

1) Turn the key off and wait for the main relay to power down completely. This usually takes about 10 seconds but depends on the model.

2) Turn the key back on.

Certain applications with CAN dash requirements must be powered down completely and

restarted after an import calibration. If this is not done, error lights may appear on the dash.

Please be aware of cross-platform differences that may require additional attention after importing calibration data. For instance, the Digital7 pin is available on the Infinity-6 ECU but not available on the Infinity-8H ECU. After importing Infinity-6 session data to an Infinity-8, any input that was assigned to use Digital7 will be displayed as invalid in the wizard and needs to be reassigned to work properly.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Wizard Basic Setup

Wizard Design

The ECU setup wizard is designed to simplify the initial configuration of the Infinity ECU. AEM recommends using the wizard only when connected to the ECU via USB with the power on. Most of the setup wizards require the engine to NOT be running. Exceptions will be clearly

stated in the function descriptions. The setup wizard contains general and detailed descriptions with each major function. The most

imperative functions are discussed below. Use the descriptions in the wizard to assist in the completion of all other setup features. New setup wizard features are being added constantly. Please follow the written descriptions on each wizard page as this document may not accurately represent the features included in the most recent versions.

The Setup Wizard is a stand alone application that runs in conjunction with Infinity Tuner. This software is updated periodically and its appearance and features may not completely match the descriptions below. In the event of a conflict, refer to the descriptions and instructions on the Setup Wizard pages themselves.

With the laptop connected to the Infinity ECU via USB and InfinityTuner connected, go to the Wizard menu at the top of the InfinityTuner layout and select Setup Wizard. Alternately, the hot key combination [ALT]-[w]-[w]-[w] will launch the setup wizard.

Tuning Guide

Wizard Organization

The wizard is organized into different sections with expandable menu items on the left hand pane. Use the highlighted arrow below in each section to expand the available sections.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Tuning Preferences

Calibration data is automatically saved to ECU flash memory at key off if the "Key Off Commit" function is selected in the Tuning preferences wizard page. Proper power sequencing is critical in order to avoid problems. If power is removed from both pins C1-10 and C2-50 (Infinity 8/10/12 hardware) before this action is completed, the ECU may become inoperable and require reprogramming at AEM.

Tuning Guide

Cam/Crank

Choose the Cam/Crank timing type that will be used. The description field notes important information about edge selections and wiring requirements.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Additional settings exist to adjust noise cancellation. For more details see Noise Cancellation

Injector Setup

Number of Injectors

The drop down box allows the user to select the desired Number of Injectors. Min value = 4, Max value = 12

Tuning Guide

Has Secondary Injectors

If secondary injectors will be used, select this check box. A new fuel type menu is now visible labeled Fuel Type (Secondary Injectors).

See Staged Injection for additional tuning information. Note: If secondary injectors are being used, the option Has Secondary Injectors must be

selected and the table must be filled out indicating any injector number greater than the number of engine cylinders as secondary. These selections must be made before restarting the ECU and closing the form; otherwise an error will occur. See image below for a typical 6 cylinder engine setup with 6 additional injectors classified as secondary. Note also the option to select a different fuel type for primary and secondary.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Fuel Type

This drop down menu contains the following setup information for primary (and secondary fuel types, if selected).

-Gasoline

-Ethanol

-Methanol

-E85

-Flex Fuel

Phasing

The default injector phasing for the primary injectors is determined from the Firing Order information from the Ignition Wizard. There is a fixed offset of 540 for injectors. After this offset is added, the system checks to see if the result is less than 720. If the result of the calculation is greater than or equal to 720, it is subtracted by 720 from that result

Example:

4 cylinder 1-3-4-2 firing order: Injector 1 phasing = 0 + 540 (offset) = 540 Injector 3 phasing = 180 + 540 (offset) = 0 Injector 4 phasing = 360 + 540 (offset) = 180 Injector 2 phasing = 540 + 540 (offset) = 360

O2 Feedback

Lambda sensor assignment is determined by assigning a value of 1 or 2 to the InjXLambdaFB channels. A value of 1 will assign the Lambda 1 sensor and a value of 2 will assign the Lambda 2 sensor. Min value = 1, Max value = 2

Tuning Guide

Fuel Pressure Regulator Reference

Allows the user to choose the proper reference pressure for the fuel pressure regulator. The drop down menu has the following options:

Manifold Vacuum Reference: This should be selected if the fuel pressure regulator's port is connected to a vacuum or vacuum/boost source.

Atmospheric Reference: This should be selected if the fuel pressure regulator's port is open to atmosphere or if a dead end fuel system is used where fuel pressure is constant.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Primary Injector Flow Selection

This database allows the user to select proper primary injector flow data. InjFlowRate [cc/sec], 1-Axis lookup table of flow vs injector pressure.

InjOffset [us/10], 2-Axis lookup table of PW offset vs battery voltage and injector pressure

Secondary Injector Flow Selection

If Secondary Injectors were selected in the Injector Setup Wizard, this Secondary Injector Flow Selection database will be enabled. This allows the user to select proper secondary injector flow data.

InjSecFlowRate [cc/sec], 1-Axis lookup table of flow vs injector pressure. InjSecOffset [us/10], 2-Axis lookup table of PW offset vs battery voltage and injector pressure

Tuning Guide

NOTE: If the Setup Wizard does not contain your specific fuel injector type, you can modify the InjFlowRate table manually. If you do not know the different flow rates at different fuel pressures, choose a flow rate (based on Manufacturers specs) at a known pressure and populate the entire row with that value. For example, you have a fuel injector that is not listed in the Wizard Selection. You know that it flows 475 cc/min at 45 psi. Select the cells in the upper row of the InjFlowRate [cc/min] table and manually input 475. This will suffice to get the car up and running, though proper flow data is ideal.

Set Throttle Range

The wizard displays a warning message to the user if the software is not connected to a hardware target.

Live TPS Volts

Text and graphical representation of the raw analog voltage is shown.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Steps

Set TPS Volts Min

Press this button when the throttle pedal is fully released. This will write the current value of Analog7 [V] to the Throttle_raw [%] Analog In conditioner and display the resultant value on the TPS Min Volts: X.XX display.

Set TPS Volts Max

Press this button after the throttle pedal is fully depresses. This will write the current value of Analog7 [V] to the Throttle_raw [%] Analog In conditioner and display the resultant value on the TPS Max Volts: X.XX display.

Ignition Sync

Tuning Guide

The engine's ignition timing must be synchronized with the Infinity Tuner's ignition timing display. This is crucial with older vehicles that have adjustable distributors, adjustable cam angle sensors, etc. Most modern engines do not utilize a manual adjustment for ignition timing. However, this wizard should always be used for verification as sensors can be frequently installed backwards or upside down. This can catch a problem before damage occurs.

Note: This wizard can only be used when the engine speed is greater than 50 RPM. Ignition Timing

For synchronizing, the ignition timing can be locked by checking the box. Allowable values: Min value = 0, Max value = 45

Sync Adjustment

The window includes 4 buttons. Two buttons are used to Advance Timing and TWO buttons are used to Retard Timing.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

The button labeled Large edits the CamSyncAdjustment TrigOffset [degBTDC] channel in

1.0 deg steps. The range is 0 to 719 degrees. The button labeled Small edits the TrigOffset [degBTDC] channel in 0.1 deg steps.

The TrigOffset [degBTDC] is adjustable by Resolution. The Resolution setting has a range of 0.25 deg to 2.0 degrees in 0.25 degree increments. This “stepping” function allows the user to make TrigOffset [degBTDC] adjustments with the Small button up to the range limit.

Advanced Setup

Pickup sensor delay

The More and Less buttons increase/decrease the SpkDelayComp [us] value in increments/decrements of 5. Min value = 0, Max value = 500

Two separate procedures are required depending on the Infinity application: Plug and Play or Universal Application.

Plug and Play

a. In the Ignition Sync wizard, select the checkbox “Lock ignition timing at” and set the “degrees

BTDC” (10.0 deg BTDC is the default).

b. Start the engine and use a timing light to verify that the crankshaft timing matches the locked

ignition timing set point (10.0 deg BTDC if using the default setting).

c. If there is a deviation between the locked set point and the actual timing observed with the

timing light, use the Sync Adjustment arrows to match the wizard-displayed value with the actual value. As the Sync Adjustment arrows are advanced or retarded, the timing observed on the crankshaft will change, while the “Lock ignition timing at 10.0 degrees BTDC” will remain constant.

Universal Application

a. In the Ignition Sync wizard, select the checkbox “Lock ignition timing at” and set the “degrees

BTDC” (10.0 deg BTDC is the default).

b. Do NOT attempt to start the engine. Disable (unplug) the fuel injectors and/or fuel pump. c. While cranking the engine, use a timing light to verify that the crankshaft timing matches the

locked ignition timing set point (10.0 deg BTDC if using the default setting).

d. If there is a deviation between the locked set point and the actual timing observed with the

e. Reconnect the fuel injectors and fuel pump. f. Once the remaining Setup Wizards have been configured, repeat the Ignition Sync process

with the engine running to ensure that the crankshaft timing matches the locked ignition timing set point.

Tuning Guide

Modified Values

Calibration table changes that haven't been committed to flash memory are highlighted as shown below. Conditions that will reset the display are as follows:

1. Manually committing changes through the Target > Commit modifications menu command

2. Manually committing changes using the hot key combination [Ctrl Shift C]

3. Opening and closing the Setup Wizard. Note the Setup Wizard automatically commits ALL

changes to memory every time it is closed.

4. Turning the ignition switch off when the tuning preference Key Off Commit is selected

VE & Airflow Based Tuning

The Infinity ECU uses significantly different methods of calculating the fuel delivery requirements and outputs than previous AEM products.

Measured data from sensors, i.e., Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP [kPa]), Air Temperature, Coolant Temperature, and Engine RPM, are acquired. The ECU uses this sensor data in combination with Volumetric Efficiency (VE%) to estimate airflow.

The Volumetric Efficiency is a percentage of air and fuel that actually enters the cylinder during induction relative to the volumetric capacity (rated displacement) of the cylinder under static conditions. The VE lookup table is a 2-axis lookup table, with load values (typically MAP [kPa]) versus Engine RPM. In each table cell, the Engine RPM corresponds with a specific MAP [kPa], and a Volumetric Efficiency is defined for that cell.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

The Volumetric Efficiency is combined with temperature sensor data to estimate a compensated Mass Airflow. The ChargeTempBlend table dictates what ratio of air temperature to coolant temperature is used at specific Engine RPM to adjust the density of the inducted air. A higher number gives priority to Coolant Temperature, and is seen at lower Engine RPM.

Once Mass Airflow has been calculated using the tables above, the Infinity ECU will look up the Target Lambda (AFR) and then calculate the fuel requirements. Target AFR will be used as a main parameter in determining fuel injector flow rate. The LambdaTargetTable (below Left) and AFR Target Table conversion table (below Right) will have default values. Based on the calculated Mass Airflow, the Infinity ECU will attempt to add enough fuel to hit the target AFR.

Note: The calculated LambdaTarget influences the fuel delivered to the engine at all times, even when closed-loop 02 feedback is disabled.

Tuning Guide

The suggested tuning method is to set the AFR using the LambdaTargetTable or AFR Target Table to a value safe and suitable for the engine. For normally aspirated engines a value of

13.0:1 or 0.887 lambda is usually sufficient at all operating conditions. For boosted applications,

the operating conditions dictate a safe AFR. Please consult a tuner knowledgeable in your engine’s requirements for help. Once the target lambda (AFR) values are chosen, run the engine at as many operating conditions as possible and adjust the VE Table to reach the AFR Target Table values. Once the VE Table has been tuned to accurately reach the AFR Target Table values at all operating ranges, then you can change the AFR Target Table to use different AFR settings later. Never adjust VETable to run a different AFR, only to achieve the LambdaTarget

value. The Injector Flowrate is very important in determining the fuel requirements. The Infinity ECU

uses actual Injector Flowrate [cc/min] to determine the proper injector pulse width. The InjFlowRate [cc/min] table is calibrated from the Setup Wizard: Injector Flow, however the table can be modified manually for unlisted injectors.

Now that the base injector flow rate has been determined, the Infinity ECU applies a few more compensating factors. Wall Wetting is a function of fuel condensing in the intake manifold at the injection point. At different rates of change in the MAP [kPa] values, and at different Coolant Temperatures, fuel enrichment compensations are used to prevent lean and rich conditions during rapid manifold pressure changes. Note that this table has several different functions. It can be used for dynamic transients by nature of its “MAP Rate” x-axis. It can also be used for more steady state compensations by adjusting the values in the “middle band” of the table where MAP rate changes are very small. Positive numbers in this table will effectively add fuel to enrichen the mixture. Negative numbers have the opposite effect.

The X and Y axis inputs of the WallWetting table can be set to several different variables. These settings are found in the Setup Wizard page for Accel and Decel Fuel. Axis selections include:

Map Rate Throttle Rate Coolant Temp MAP [kPa] EngineSpeed [RPM]

Tuning Guide

A second WallWetting table is also available for even more transient fuel compensation functionality. See the WallWetting2 Table topic for more information.

LamdaAfterStartTrim is a 2-axis table that is used to modify the Lambda (AFR) for specified time after starting the engine. This table adds a lambda offset for a small period of time after the engine is started. By allowing a slightly richer mixture target, it will keep the engine from stalling or running rough immediately after starting and the lambda correction to a minimum. The last column should be populated with “0” trim at operating temperatures to prevent a continuous lambda offset.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Target Lambda

To control the engine's fuel delivery system, the Infinity can be programmed to run open loop and/ or closed loop O2 feedback. Closed loop uses feedback from the oxygen sensor to make temporary, but immediate, corrections to the injection to maintain a target air fuel ratio (AFR) or lambda. The type of the O2 sensor will determine how lambda target can be controlled. Due to the nature of standard narrow band O2 sensors, the only accurate measurement that can be maintained in closed loop is Lambda 1.0. However, wideband O2 sensors can be used in almost every feedback condition.

Note that 14.64:1 is called the stoichiometric AFR for gasoline. It is the ratio where all available fuel is burned completely. For most performance applications, it is not the ideal AFR to operate the engine at all the time nor is it the AFR that creates the most power or even economy under all conditions.

When the fuel system is open loop, the O2 sensor is ignored and the injector pulse width relies on the VE Table and fuel compensators to adjust injection duration. Open loop is necessary during engine starts, when the O2 sensor has cooled below its operating temperature. It may also be necessary when coolant temperatures are low. In this state, the fuel vaporization is poor and the engine will require a richer mixture to properly operate. When under heavy load, the engine typically requires an air fuel ratio that is out of a narrow band oxygen sensor's standard range and open loop will be necessary. When the accelairflow function is triggered during hard accelerations, open loop may be necessary to help stabilize the Target Lambda. Also, when the deceleration function cuts fuel completely, target lambda will not be necessary.

LambaTargetTable Units: Engine Load vs Engine Speed vs Lambda Description: This table sets the target lambda for various engine conditions.

Tuning Guide

Tuning Target Lambda

The first step before tuning:

1. Open Infinity Tuner and connect to the ECU.

2. Open the Lambda Tab and confirm the Lambda1Cal Table is set up for the oxygen sensor used.

3. Open the Lambda Control Wizard and check the Lambda 1 Feedback Enable and/or Lambda Feedback Enable boxes.

4. Set the Lambda Feedback Max Speed. Wideband O2 sensors are accurate in most situations so this can be activated all the time, if need be.

5. Set the Lambda Feedback After Start Delay (typical –10 seconds).

The Infinity Tuner functions are located in the TargetLambda tab.

1. Use the Lambda Control Proportional Gain by itself and set the Lambda Control Integral Gain and Lambda Control Derivative Gain to zero.

2. Log the channels Lambda1 (or 2) and ErrorLambda1 (or 2).

3. Increase the Lambda Control Proportional Gain until the point of instability or a sustained oscillation is reached.

4. From here, the ultimate proportional (Ku) is found.

5. From the log, measure the period of oscillation from peak to peak, in seconds, to obtain the critical time constant or ultimate period (Pu).

6. Once the values for Ku and Pu are obtained, the PID parameters can be calculated from the following equations.

Proportional, Integral, and Derivative Feedback

Lambda Control Proportional Gain = 0.60 (Ku) Lambda Control Integral Gain = 2 (Kp) / Pu Lambda Control Derivative Gain = (Kp)(Pu) / 8

Note that these values are not optimal values and additional fine tuning may be required to obtain the best target lambda performance.

Idle Air Control Valve Requirements

Many Toyota, Mitsubishi, and other vehicles use an Idle Air Control Valve with a Unipolar Stepper Motor (6-pin connector) and MUST be modified. See picture below. A Bipolar Stepper Motor (e.g., GM) will have a 4-pin connector and DOES NOT need to be modified. *This info does not apply to vehicles that utilize IACV solenoids.

The 2 center pins (Black-Red wires) supply 12V power to the stepper motor in the factory setup, however these pins MUST BE DISCONNECTED before powering on the AEM Infinity ECU.

Infinity Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Disconnect connector from IACV housing and gently remove the retainer from the connector.

Step 2: Use a small flat-blade screwdriver/pick to move the terminal locks while pulling the BlackRed wires out from the backside of the connector.

Wiring, Pinouts and Schematics

Step 3: Use heat shrink to insulate both 12V wires and then zip-tie the insulated wires to a nearby loom.

Step 4: Reinstall the retainer, and then plug the connector back into the IACV.
