ems as far as I can recall just stands for engine management system, i don't think that's the actual name of the ems, but I could be wrong.

EMS just stands for Engine Management Sytem. It's a generic name for any aftermarket (or factory) fuel injection system. Try to find out what brand. Most likely it will be Haltech or Microtech.

If this is you first RX-7, I don't recommend you buy one pre-modified unless you are willing to learn quickly. The experience you have with the car will be directly related to the quality of the work that was done before you.
