what is better AEM or Haltec (93TTrx7)
I want a fast RX7 my dream is 400hp and I know I'll never even come close with the stock ECU. I've started with some cheep mods (cat back, intake, radaiator) and already I am dealing with 14psi boost spikes and other annoying things that can lead to big engine cost. I have never owned a programable ECU before. I have alot of mechanical know how and I need a serious EMS, the Power FC just won't cut it and I think you serious tuners know what I mean. I hear that maping an ECU can be very tricky and with a $1000+ price I wan to be sure about what I should get AEM and Halteck are the biggest, most popular names I hear for an EMS. I want hear from people who have tried one or both of these ECU systems and tell me what you think about :
installation
first time start was the base map good
tuning - hard or simple
how is works with single V.S. sequen. turbo
tech help - is it out there
the provided instuctions - were they usefull
does it take long to learn how to tune it
any other coments/concerns a new person to EM should know or think about
Thanks

Well i have never used an AEM on RX-7's but i do have experience with them on honda's... Everyone of them has gone bad. Most times more then one occasion too.. I would highly recommend you say away from them.

I remember the "poof" from AEM giving Autronic ****, I told him when AEM have a proven track record I will consider his "perfect" ECU. He never got back to me on the Autronic unit he wanted to literaly give away.
Either way, we have not herd much from AEM latley ? Are there many on rotaries yet?
PS Nice to talk to you today Enzo

No it's not Turbo'd
Sounds like you haven't looked into the Datalogit, which lets you gain access with windows to all the functions for the Power FC, and for me I'm very much so in limbaugh, since Power FC with Datalogit = AEM price wise... then you add the commander and the Power FC is more, but now you can monitor things like radiator temp etc... from the little hand held thing, and don't have to open a laptop...

How bout a plug in microtech?? install takes about 15min, will start and run like standard on the base maps, can run twins and single turbo easly, control your OMP,

The Plug and Play is stand alone, unplug your factory computer and plug in the microtech. it fits in the factory position behind the kick panel where the factory computer sat.

Wide band logging is in the works, they are working on it now, they will log narrow band now,
Dont think the E6K will log wide band either, as you can use the same oxy sensor on the microtech and the E6K.

So why is Haltech to highly recomended by a tuner I know here in Boston? I think it's the most expensive which is bad for me cuz of my limmited buget. Microtech sounds like another good option. I want somthing that can hook up to my laptop

Microtech are basically unknown in the USA, they are just starting to get the dealer base set and the products into the USA, they have been at the top of rotary drag racing in AUS for 10years,
Most shops will have there perfered ecu and they will try to sell it no matter what

Well seems like the pos. feedback is for the Power FC and Microtech. And everyone is mixed about the AEM havent heard much from the Haltech users yet but I guess that just shows that most people don't use them. Haltech is popular in Drag-racing so I thought that ment it must be good. But maybe that just shows it's not so great for the street.
**** just keep giving me feedback on your experiences with the different EMS's

BTW, there already are several Supras making that kind of power.
