Stoichiometric...the theoretical AFR which gives complete combustion.
Its depends on engines speed, not just load (throttle)...in any case, the ammount of air is fixed by volumetric efficiency at that event...so the mass of fuel required is dependent on the AFR you are trying to achieve for...
yes...brake fade.
ABS enables you to maintain steering stability whilst braking...it isnt just meant to stop skidding in a straight line; believe it or not, this is a side effect. It has become a common "asset" to most modern cars, due to most modern cars being sold to planks that drive round...
I use Emerald and KMS...usin gmore KMS now tho.
Yes, they are more expensive for a reason...extra functions, extra aux outputs etc, faster sample rates, etc...but its horses for courses...you dont need all that on a simple road/track NA application.
However..its not as if the Omex isnt up...
MAF isnt MAP though.
I reckon your MAP signal will be all over the place due to massivley reduced intake volume.
I would just spend £200 on a proper ign only ecu.
Why the need for a bypass valve?
At idle speed, there wont be enough pressure to cause any sort of damage..esp if its geared to peak at 7psi.
It would need a 2 bar MAP sensor, and the ecu adjusted so it could read above atmospheric pressure, then calbirated to suit.
Cr could stay std...
It seems its set in stone in your head its the ecu...the reality of it is, it isnt!
IF you had a megasquirt jobby and were having these problems, then yes, I would suggest an ecu upgrade, but the hardware you have now is more than up to the job.
The on-paper-spec isnt like with a pc or laptop...
name and function are often mutually exclusive....it can be a mistake to rely on reputation alone.
I would say that your feelings towards the current Omex set-up have been induced by poor calibration and set-up.
The solution....get it done right! The ecu is up to scratch...theres no doubt...
and its expensive compared to say KMS...whoch does the job very well, has adaptive lambda function, launch control, full throttle shift and other auxillary outputs.
bargain at circa £400
ABS sensor is proving a bastid...will fone around breakers this week matey. Apparently no-one removes them as they are always seized! might be a renault purchase yet :p
As for inlets, Im just waiting on a delivery of a couple of sets. they will shift fast, so if you want a set, get in touch.
with alot of the hardware, your not limited to JUST RS Clios...most stock managment can be manipulated. It may be a couple of $K outlay initially, but if you aim for other cars also, you will have the monopoly really.
Worth considering.
Likely he came up with a spec designed for use on non-OE controlled engine...so MAP sensor doesnt cause issues..
the way you worded it first time round sounded like he designed them so they wouldnt run on OE managment!
You can buy KMS managment for £400. It has adative lambda control, launch control, full throttle shift function..yadda yadda. Its a comprehensive control solution at a price you cant complain about.

depends on the boost you are planning to run. If your thinking of sub 1bar gauge, a 2bar absolute of a 21T would suffice. Anything over 1bar gauge, and you'll be looking at 3bar absolute at circa £80 of the top of my head.
and a camblet kit...der lol :p
I can supply all the parts, dont worry about that.
The cambelt, idler, tensioner, and aux belt I can do while you wait...
The water pump takes abit longer, and would be best left with me for a couple of days.
Its about 210 miles from Swansea to Finchley...
It used to take me about 3hrs to get from Barnet to Swansea, when I was working in Borehamwood.
Bailey1260...M5 runs from midlands to south wales :p
