haha, was gonna say 'guess who's gonna answer'

i think GMC are doing are deal on omex management, or a least they were. it was something like cost of parts plus £100.

some very useful info on there,has simo gone onto standalone yet?

Dont think he got round to it.

Do u get a smell of petrol coming through the vents with having the extra 5th and 6th injectors. I know I do sometimes

6th November 2005, 15:32

yes i do,i did worry me for a while though,but thought that it would be the injectors

6th November 2005, 15:48

Yes it is, another reason to go standalone. You got a catch tank as well ?

wahhh lol

Omex 600 is the way to go, thats what ive got, it does everything on the tin, traction control, launch control, idle control, lambda closed and open loop control, antilag for turbos etc etc) its not cheap but its a really good system, you need the aux loom to go with the standard one as it has the extra wires on for the idle etc, which means you can meet MOT rules etc and also map it for power as well.

also does WI, NOS etc, can control 2 extra cooling fans, use any array of sensors, all you need is 1x air inlet temp and 1xwater temp the rest of the saxo sensors work.

how much did it set you back?are you running everything that it provides

9th November 2005, 14:12

set me back £700 ish, im not gonna run all the features, ie antilag, traction contol etc. I was gonna get a 500 which would have done what I wanted (Except idle) but they dont make them anymore, and 600 is almost if not better than 700 spec.
