theres an omex 500 ecu and loom on ebay..... are these any good? can they run 325i engines running a turbo for example?

No you need the Omex 710 to run wasted spark on a 6 pot. Think the 500 can only do two coils.

might be good for you 4cyl homos then?

The guys @ Northampton Motorsport suggested the 700 and said it was ideal for the m20.

lol ive just googled it and read that.
yeah the 500/600 only has drivers for 4 cyl.



on with the search for a management system that doesnt cost close to a grand.....
guna buy the management first for my turbo project as that'll be the most expencive bit to buy.

id run the motronic with a maf conversion, but i wana do it properly.....

hmmmmm.

got a couple of hundred saved from fiddle jobs ive been doing of late.
done a pair of front shocks and rear brakes on a fiat bravo this weekend.... £50.
got a cambelt and service to do on an 07 plate astra cdti next weekend so thatll be another £75 towards it.....

trying to do it like this so it doesnt bankrupt me!

whichever management you go for don't forget it might cost you loads to get it mapped properly too.

i understand the basics of it.
and i have a friend of a friend who maps turbo civics and integras on the road as you drive it, hes done my mates jordan civic turbo running .9 bar that hasnt exploded yet.
so that isnt guna cost much.

fritz has done alot of dealings with omex so worth giving dave a call there if you want some info, he may be able to get you a bit of trade discount aswell

I just remembered these guys do a set-up that I spotted in PPC magazine. Might be worth you checking out?

This was their response when I mailed them about a kit for an m20 2.5.

Hello Mark,

Sorry for the slow response this time...

The ECU kit (which includes software, pc connection, manual and harness
connector) is £429.95

Semi assembled looms are available at £49.95 which makes wiring much
simpler - all colour coded wiring and pre-connected at the ECU - so it's
just a case of connecting the wires to your sensors / power supply.

I can throw in a MAP sensor free of charge with an ECU kit if you'd like
to go that way.

Recorded, tracked delivery on a system is £9.95

Where abouts in the country are you? Hopefully I can recommend a dealer
that has worked with the systems before.

Kind regards,
David Hampshire

bloody hell thats cheap! looks easy to install and lots of help too.

I don't know anything about the tech side really but I do know that a few people that have used them have been very happy with the results. They worked well on a Triumph straight six so can't see any reason why it wouldn't be just as good on an m20.

hmm thats looks really good, cheers mark. i'll save up for that insted!
