Omex 500 or 600 - What's the difference?

[clio-lane]

I see from another thread that most of the modified clios use the 600 model, why is this, what are the differences between the models?

 

[Guy]

the 500 is relatively old

the 600 came out this year as a new model.

 

[clio-lane]

Any idea on the price of them? What benefits does the 600 have over the 500 other than being thhe new model?

 

[Guy]

try looking at the specs on omex website and comparing them? 600 i believe has more features on it.

The OMEM600 Engine Management System is a high performance, easy to install, easy to map ECU system designed specifically for the top clubman competitor and low volume manufacturer. The OMEM600 offers three-dimensional mapping, has user adjustable correction tables and is programmable with the engine stationary or in real time whilst the engine is running. The OMEM600 is suitable for both normally aspirated and forced induction engines.

• Semi-sequential fuel injection for up to 4 cylinder engines
• Grouped injection for up to 8 cylinders
• Distributorless ignition for up to 4 cylinders
• Distributor ignition for up to 8 cylinders
• Programmable load and speed sites
• TPS or MAP can be used for main load sensing
• Wide range of crank trigger patterns are suitable (user programmable)
• Turbo wastegate control
• Turbo anti-lag system
• Variable cam control
• Traction control
• Narrow and wide band lambda feedback support
• Stepper motor, push/pull, and single line idle controls in addition to scattered spark control
• Knock sensing capability
• 3 programmable outputs switched on user controlled inputs (eg boost, coolant temp etc)
• Security protected calibrations
• Full throttle gearchange
• Intercooler water spray control
• Water injection control
• Nitrous ignition r****d and fuel enrichment
• Two cooling fan controls
• Barometric compensation with external sensor
• Uses the latest version of the superb MAP2000 Windows programming software
• Suitable for normally aspirated or boosted engines
• Inbuilt independent fuel and ignition rev limiters
• Separate Tachometer, Shift Light and Fuel Pump outputs
• Magnetic or Hall Effect crank and cam sensors
• Automatic interpolation between mapped sites
• Sophisticated acceleration fuelling setup
• Various harness options from economical semi-assembled to full race quality bespoke looms
• Battery voltage compensation table for fuel injectors (not just a simple number)
• Battery compensation and engine speed compensation for coil charge time
• Mappable coolant temperature compensation for engine warm-up
• Air & coolant temperature compensation for fuel injection pulse width
• Separate cold cranking and decay tables in addition to warm-up fuelling
• User settable ignition trim based on air temperature, coolant temperature, and barometric pressure
• Separate start advance for cranking provides easy starting for high compression engines
• Deceleration fuel cut-off feature for road engines
• Maximum recommended engine speed 12,750 RPM
• AND LOADS MORE


this is all i have on file about the 600 at the min.
Good thing about it over the 500 is the ICV control.

ECU = £545 plus vat, but you need loom, injectors, plugs and MAP sensor

Copied this off the saxo forum. I think the 600 replaced the 500 not sure though.

Ive got a 600 on mine.

It says it can do traction control and full throttle gear change.

Must ask Andy about these.

 

[Guy]

mark, did you just google search for that or did you used to be an SSC regular??

 

[clio-lane]

I tried the Omex site but it's being updated. Thanks for the info guys

 

[MarkM]

mark, did you just google search for that or did you used to be an SSC regular??

googled it then did a search on saxo sports club never been on before though.

 

[Guy]

ah right just wondered.. i have like 20 000+ posts on there.. i was a regular on there from being 16-20

Processor power....

The 500 has a 286 and the 600 has a 386

I might upgrade to the 486 sx powered 700 .. zoooom

have you got any info on the traction control and full throttle gear change.

I will have to get the software off Andy next time I see him.

545 is a good price for a standalone ecu

Gems/motec for my old car was well over a grand

Its more like a grand when you add VAT a loom installation and mapping

The Traction control is not all that good.

Full Throttle gear change... yes it has got it, but you need a dog box really to make the most of it.

Afraid not mate. Just need manual though !!

with all the sensors - Water, Temp etc...

Kit with all the Sensors Should be about £580+ VAT RRP - its not what we sell it at obviously...

Gems/motec are positioned in a slightly different area though lol.

 

[Andy GDI]

the traction control is a calculated system, i.e. it only reads differential speed or one wheel speed, then looks at rpm vs that wheel speed and if one is greater accelerating than the other backs off the power.

so compaired to a system that reads all the actual wheel speeds its not going to be nearly as good.

its only really good at stopping monster wheel spin in a really powerfull car.

Christ...Alot of mula...buy Jap if you want easy power.
