What are you looking for in an EMS? Are you looking for a standalone or piggyback EMS? Launch control, fuel mapping, ignition mapping, 2-step rev limiter, boost controller, etc? ---

I think you would have better luck searching and asking on bigger Nissan forums where there are a lot more people that actually have experience with standalone systems. Try [freshalloy.com](http://freshalloy.com) , [nicoclub.com](http://nicoclub.com) , or [zilvia.net](http://zilvia.net) ---

For a good stand alone, you might be paying more into the 2500 mark and plus the tuning etc. Do you want a replacement ecu or a full wiring job? Phone Cam at Lightspeed in Red Deer (403) 346-7960 He’ll be able to help you out for sure. Tell him your budget and what you are looking for in a stand alone. ---

For your needs AEM EMS is a great standalone for a good price. Im not sure if it would be less than $2000, but Autronic and Haltech have units in that range. ---

Lightspeed is the place to take it too for sure. They are the Canadian distrubutor for Haltech and Autronic. $2000-2500 plus install plus tune.
