i want to learn everything thats my biggest fault.
there is another company in wicklow that fit and map omex. i've seen there rb26 engined s13 drift car that runs good. seems very reliable. do omex sell direct?

you working for them Danny?

Omex is somebody elses product originally if im correct? aussie ecu (autronic?), bought the rights etc?
have looked long and hard at moving away from Emerald, but given the options, only the expensive Motecs do appreciably more, but are mega bucks

each to their own, but i have lots of maps for the Emerald (in various s12 engine spec/turbo/states of tune) that i can let people have free if they go emerald.

VEMS looked good, essentially a megasquirt derivative but commercially developed, but i notice Phatbob has dropped hios involvement with VEMS now so the development in the UK may slow.

No not at all, Just the software is written by GEMS (to omex specification) who also do it for a lot of ECU manufacturers

You wont find a lot of places who will do the mapping on VEMS, I know more and more who've tried and wont touch it now. Dont know really, never done one.

Bit of a shamless plug but while you are there have a word with the Simtek UK stand. I know they used to deal with both Omex and DTA, looking at the website they only stock DTA now but they might be able to answer some questions.

The reason for it being a shameless plug is that my cousin is the owner.
