There are Numerous Sub Forums on this Site,,Like Haltech,Aem,PFC,RTEK..etc.
You should search through there.
Also,If you prefer Used( to save money) I
would cruise the classifieds on the forum.People are parting cars every day.
AEM Sub Forum: https://www.rx7club.com/aem-ems-81/
The Section is called: Engine management Forum.

good luck.STYX!~

All of the engine management systems do basically the same thing. If your friend is good with AEM, then I recommend that you buy an AEM product. Several years down the road when you have a lot of tuning experience and a really good idea of where you want to go with your engine, then you can switch to another brand without too much trouble. You are not going to be happy if you attempt to start off with an unknown and confusing EMS in which the closest technical help is a phone call to Australia. You will need hands-on help, not telephone or internet help.

You should wait until you buy an EMS before making a fuel injector selection because each EMS has a specific limitation and/or preference with respect to fuel injectors.

Injector Dynamics makes excellent fuel injectors, and other decent popular brands include Siemens, RC Engineering, Bosch, and Denso. Avoid Venom.

I run AEM in many applications including FD/FC RX7's, it works perfect and was quick and easy to set up.
