Its not really about the extra power more the efficiency of the fuel/map etc, it could have run the same power with a aftermarket Ecu but would have been loads better to drive on the road.

why dont people just use standard ecu all the time then is only advantage about aftermarket that you can run more stuff?
i bought an omex 600 ecu from a lad on here but it didnt come with no plug/connector piece just checking im looking at right thing as i need one asap

Yeah GR performance. James custom builds some amazing manifolds and his colleague is good at mapping. James is from Dinnington, but they're based in Swinton I think.

James has built his own C2 GT Turbo running 373bhp, he had to quit his job to go full time due to the demand. I rate him.
The biggest problem with the standard ecu is the lack of people who can properly map it. I don't believe for exams that ktec have even got a full damos file for it so aren't able to alter it as fully as you need to in order to make it work properly. If you had complete control over it you could make it reliable but it would still be cumbersome and hence cost a fortune in mapping time. Far better to use an aftermarket ecu which is designed to be remapped than try and hack about the standard one.

Good work mate, hope the mapping goes well.

Well this is interesting
the company I was going to use for wiring loom and mapping have just rang and left me a voicemail saying they no longer would like to do the job as I couldn't get an mtech ecu and I'm using an omex600 instead :/ apparently it's cos he's not used one before!
Tbh I'm glad as if he can't map that ecu or never done it before I imagine the outcome would of been s**t. I'm taking it down to GR performance Saturday for them to have a look at the work then hopefully leave it with them

Shame you are so far away from Mike from MWM mate
He loves working with Omex.Fair play to the company you were talking to though for not just taking the job on and trying to learn on the job like a lot of people would at your expense!

How far is it?
Also need abit of help. The radiator has been made fabricated so it fits in better basically same size just slimmer and think fans not as bulky well was a lot smaller than my original now the plug that connects the fan I have no where to connect it to.. Could I change the connection on the wire to the fan? I don't even want to drive it to the mappers with the fan not connected

Make sure you wire the fan in with the correct polarity otherwise when you want the fan to pull air through the rad it might push it!

Couldnt resist, i find that film massively lol. Anyway good luck with the mapping etc
Im not sure if it works like that TBH due to the way the blades are shaped, but it certainly wouldnt be a good idea to wire it backwards anyway.
The three different fans I tried last year all offered this feature so you could put it either in front or behind the rad and it said to take care with polarity so you don't send the air the wrong way lol
Dan have you tried Paul at RS-Tuning?
Ph1 T
I got a price off him it was around 1k is that a tad expensive or about right if so going to have to wait a few week before I can book that..
Was that including supplying an ECU? If so I would say that was cheap.

Thats cheap, paul is highly recommended on here too, he's done plenty of clio's
Dan have you already got the omex or are you just about to buy it? What does the loom look like? Pics?
The semi assembled loom he is on about is just one big plug and a load of wires coming out of it.
Ahh so a fair but of wiring to do then, I was going to say to Dan he should fit the ECU himself and then it just needs mapping but that will be more tricky if it doesn't have the connectors on

That's the semi assembled loom...
Is it a major task to do something like that yourself?

I would say it's what I would expect to pay for that amount of wiring and mapping and for the ease of going 20 mins up the motorway to Leeds I would do that Dan. Any further issue's or changes you want to make aren't going to be a 2-3 hour drive.
Its a time consuming task, but its not very difficult, all the wires are colour coded and omex give good instructions.
Takes me a day or so normally, but depends on how pretty you want it etc, perfectly possible to have it up and running in just a few hours.
