OMEX 500 ECU AND THROTTLE BODIES
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

Ive got a set of C20XE novatech throttle bodies here, linkage, FPR, the lot ready to go. Ive also got a OMEX 500 ecu that runs the bodies and is setup for a 2.0 XE. Now i have no use for them as i no longer have the XE so what does everyone reckon to running 2 throttle bodies on a 1.3 metro lump with the whole OMEX ECU and with the vauxhall trigger wheel sensor e.t.c and running the XE coil pack for distributorless ignition?

Would this be a setup worth doing and is the ECU easy to map? i have no laptop to do it so would need someone to come out and do it, maybe a fellow member? I have no idea with EFI on an a-series using other parts so curious if i can use what i have


Cheers

You could run the engine with it, but it would more than probably make less power than a carb and put your engine at risk.

Have a read of this:

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

That was a really interesting read Paul, some how i've missed that up till now.
