What Ecu For Me? need some help...

ok here is the deal i currently have a 87 n/a with a 91 n/a motor/intake. i am planinng on getting a turbo rex in the next year or so.... most of the proformance parts on my n/a are able to be transfered to a turbo. minus exaust anyway is there an ece that would work both on my na, and on a trubo when i get one?, or should i just get a s-afc. looking for fuel control due to larger secondaries.... looking for some prices. i yould also like a ecu where i could use my Brand New high imadensa injectors i have lying around and not these old clogged lo impadence ones. it would also be nice to get a wiring harness with it....to much to ask for?
thanks

Yes, any EMS will work great on your NA, and they are all available with a very nice, new, wiring harness. I agree that it's a good idea to get familiar with the EMS on an expendable NA engine before you try it out on an expensive new turbo engine - that's what I'm doing with my 20B project. However, I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to go through all that work installing it, just to remove it next year and have to plug all those sensor holes when you sell the car. I guess that's up to you.

Most EMS units work best with high-impedence injectors. It's the low-impedence injectors that usually require a lot of electrical handiwork to keep them from overloading the injector driver. Check with the manufacturers to see what will work with their product.

I highly suggest buying an EMS which has local rotary engine support. Check around at your shops to see what they like. Trust me, it is a real pain to have to contact someone on the other side of the world every time you have a technial question.

Here are some links so that you can do some homework:
