Omex & cams/inlets or Omex & ITB's???

[Guppy]

What would i see the best gains out of?

Owners experience appreciated.

Gup

Ideally you want cams and itb's, but probably a similarish bhp result between the two, dont need omex for just cams and inlets though which might sway your decision

 

[Guppy]

Cant aford both atm

one or other

 

[davM]

ITB's without a doubt then get cams fitted on top at a later date

 

[sideways danny]

you can see similar peak bhp with cams and proper mapping to ITBs, but the torque spread will be less, and the peak lower.

You will LOVE ITBs, and there's always the cam upgrade option later

Standard ECU, cams, ITB's, trip to pmurray?

 

[stan*]

Has he fully mapped one on itb's yet?

"running" is one thing, running correctly is another.
Until its been done succesfully I wouldnt count it as an option tbh.

ITB's and aftermarket ecu would be where my money would go. If Paul can offer a remap for ITB's that works, then obviosuly dont even bother looking at aftermarket...

 

[Guppy]

Im having ECU problems atm hence why i am try to opt for Omex

I think the Bwarp of ITB's would sell me tbh

 

[stan*]

What problems are you having?

 

[Guppy]

Limp mode at the moment

Could be a simple fix like a sensor or it could be the ECU/FBW Throttle and now would be a good time to spend some wedge on the engine as its what it needs imo..

If ECU/FBW is the problem then i'd like to think the Omex/ITB option would be a good way to go for power/driveability also

itb's are full of win, and im doing itb's and standalone first and then getting cams at a later date

Yeah ITB's are the way forward, its not just the gain in peak figures, but as has been said by danny the torque spread is increased...i.e torque everywhere is increased. This makes the car a whole lot quicker. Add to that the improved throttle response and its a win win situation!

 

[powey]

Itbs , book it in for wed. win

 

[Guppy]

Itbs , book it in for wed. win

lol

Will see what happens

 

[iimushroomzii]

ITB's! Do it!

 

[Guppy]

Any owners comments then??

Are ITB's full of win?

 

[Bazzon]

ive said many times before and argueed. They are great on track, Personally i wouldnt be spending that much money on a clio road car, i also dont think you would see the full benefits of ITBs on a road car. (unless your a street racer )

They are reliable to a extend, but weve had a few issues with ours luckily we were able to fix them, due to our knowledge of our car.
Ours takes a thrashing EVERY time its out so can not comment on MPGs and that boring stuff ect.

But if its a track car or you plan on doing track stuff go for it.

the noise is awesome

Personally id upgrade to the 200 though

 

[Guppy]

It does do track work

Just lack of money atm has stopped it

 

[Bazzon]

Go for it then, aslong as your engines in good nick it will run fine.

Save your self more money and fit it yourself you learn alot from it

Or buy a LSD they completely change how the car drives aswell .

Good luck if you decide to go for them
