AEM Announces Release of Expanded Line of X-Series Digital Gauges

AEM’s performance electronics are engineered to outperform the competition. This company designs, manufactures and assembles engine management systems, wideband air/fuel systems, data loggers, water/methanol injection systems, performance gauges, boost controllers, ignition and fuel delivery components and adjustable cam gears. AEM recently released an expanded lineup of their X-Series Digital Gauges that are smarter, sexier and slimmer, and feature a host of refinements.


AEM, X-Series digital gauges, temperature, pressure, LED display, engine management


AEM’s new X-Series Digital Gauges combine incredible looks, increased readability and a multitude of new, easy-to-use features! The X-Series Digital Display Gauges are available for Boost, EGT, Fuel/Oil Pressure, Oil/Water/Trans Temperature and Volts. These new gauges complement the X-Series Digital Wideband AFR gauge, which was released in the winter, and is the fastest responding wideband in independent testing.


Visual improvements include a bright three- or four-digit LED display that is 87% larger than AEM’s original digital gauges. It also provides a much better readability. A sweeping green LED “needle” lines the edge of the gauge face for quick reference. A 33% overall increase in the gauge face display makes it easier to see displayed values at just a glance. X-Series Gauges come with a black bezel and faceplate. Optional silver bezel/white faceplate accessory kits are available for each gauge and sold separately.


Despite the larger display, X-Series Gauges are contained in a standard 2-1/16th-inch (52mm) diameter housing for mounting in a standard gauge pod. Thanks to an advanced single board design, X-Series Gauges have an incredibly slim overall depth of under 0.825”, with a cup depth of only 0.200.” This shallow cup depth allows X-Series Digital Gauges to be mounted practically anywhere.


X-Series Digital Gauges include new technological features that make them easier to use. Two buttons on the faceplate deliver programmability for peak/recall, standard or metric display, and user-selectable min/max threshold warnings. The faceplates are reversible for standard or metric. The gauges are AEMnet CAN-bus enabled, so they can be daisy chained together for use with the Infinity ECU, Series 2 EMS, AQ-1 Data Logger, or 3rd party EMS or logger that accepts AEMnet. 0-5V analog outputs are also included for inputting into data loggers and engine management systems.


Coming in Summer 2016!

AEM will be expanding its X-Series line with an AEMnet X-Series Digital Gauge that reads and displays engine and vehicle parameters transmitted through the AEMnet CAN Bus stream, an OBDII X-Series Digital Gauge that reads and displays OBDII parameters and clears diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and a GPS-based X-Series Speedometer in summer 2016. Detailed information on these gauges will be available soon.


X-Series Digital Display Gauge Features:



  • 2-1/16th (52mm) gauge diameter for easy mounting in gauge pods

  • Slim 0.825” overall gauge depth and 0.200” cup depth – mount them virtually anywhere!

  • Programmable standard or metric readout with reversible faceplates

  • Center LED is 87% larger than original AEM gauges

  • 24 green outer LEDs for quick reference to engine parameter

  • Peak/Recall via gauge face buttons

  • User selectable min/max threshold warnings (excl. Volts)

  • Optional silver bezel with white faceplate(s) accessory kits available (sold separately)

  • AEMnet CANbus-enabled for transmitting data to EMS or Data Logger

  • 0-5v analog outputs for transmitting data to EMS or Data Logger

  • Auto dimming sensor delivers ideal display brightness

  • Positive locking connectors provide secure connection

INFINITY PLUG & PLAY LS 24X ENGINE WIRING HARNESS

AEM has released its Plug & Play Engine Wiring Harness for GM LS race engines with a 24x timing pattern (PN 30-3821). This comprehensive, high-quality wiring harness allows racers to easily and affordably integrate the Infinity-508 Programmable ECU onto their 24x LS race engine by plugging into the factory coil sub harnesses and using factory sensors. It mates to the Infinity-508 ECU (PN 30-7108).

AEM’s 200psi high-pressure water/methanol injection pump (PN 30-3018)  is now available with 3/8 ” NPT fittings! This internally-bypassed water/methanol injection pump does not cycle on and off and provides quiet, smooth operation. It features robust construction, EPDM seals and a Santoprene diaphragm that provides consistent and reliable fluid delivery.


AEM, performance electronics, ECU, plug and play, harness, communications cable, methanol injectionPress Release: This comprehensive, high-quality wiring harness allows racers to easily and affordably integrate the Infinity-508 Programmable ECU onto their 24x LS race engine by plugging into the factory coil sub harnesses and using factory sensors. The harness utilizes automotive-grade, color-coded wiring and the timing inputs (cam and crank sensors) that are shielded for optimum performance. Water and shock-proof factory connectors for the sensors are used throughout the harness, as well as DTM-style connectors for auxiliary components. The IP67-rated ECU connector is designed to mate with AEM’s Infinity-508 ECU. Connections for a wideband O2 sensor, Drive-by-Wire and pedal, Knock, and AEMnet (AEM’s CAN bus) are integrated into the harness.


An integrated fuse and relay panel includes five relays and seven fuses that provides robust power distribution, engine circuit protection, and easier integration of additional features. Relays with flying leads are included for the fuel pump and fans. The panel’s housing is weather resistant and panel lid is weatherproof for added protection.
