Stand alone
Looking into getting a standalone for my 87 turbo2, just looking for some info on the selection, if anybody has any info or link would be appreciated, even pm me if u have any other info or would talk to me one on one. much apperciated, i did search didnt find exactly what i was looking for. i plan on building the engine from a rebuild up... so i would like to do it right the first time rather then rebuild it every 2 months from something stupid... i know im looking at big bucks, but its worth it to do it right. thanks... i ramble... sorry

lol you can get a good microtech or haltech (used) for less than $1,000. Dont try and be cheap with this, your ECU and paying to have it tuned is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of building your car, dont be cheap. I'm not saying you are cheap or anything or that you will be cheap, i'm just sayin, dont lol.

I think you are getting a false sense of EMS pricing because only the cheapie models are mentioned on this forum. The high-end EMS products cost more due to better quality construction and additional features that most people do not need on a regular street car.

1) Haltechs are universal, so they work in just about any car as-is. Microtechs are factory-configured for only one type of engine, so it is more difficult to sell a used one because of the limited customer base. For example, if you are looking for a Microtech for your 2Gen RX-7, you need to buy one that is configured for a 13B or 13BT unless you want to send it back to Australia for re-configuration that costs about $360.
2) The newer Haltechs (E6X and E11) supposedly have some bugs, so a lot of peole are sticking with the older E6K's. This is drying up the used E6K market.
