Has anyone ever fitted one of these to an escos?

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...pcode=OMERLCLC

anyone had any experience with them good or bad, Pros and Cons ect how hard they are to fit, what one would i want out of the 2 for sale in the link?

My cars running P8, Pectel board, ALS, WI, and Stu's Twin ignition amp coil pack if it makes any diffrence?

thanks for your help

They take about 5 minutes to fit. A very basic and crude system.
As said if you want the real deal, the likes of Autronic is the way to go

Gatecrasher

i know Autronic has it as a standard feature but this costs like Ł117.00 and can be fitted "supposedly" in 20 mins

just want a quick fix for the car as i may take it to the pod next sunday just to see what the cars capable of at Stage 3 power

Gatecrasher

haz87 how would it be fitted to my car then mate?

@ 5 mins lol

haz87

IIRC theres

Ground for the launch control button
2 wires for the coil

Thats it

haz87

Oh i forgot the ground for the actual unit as well. So yer 5 minutes to fit... another 15 to tidy up the wiring and route it nicely

Dumb question - How does it work

cossiemanden

I had it on my car for a year, worked GREAT
took of about 0,3 sec of my quartetmile time also

Gatecrasher

where do the 2 wire for the coil go? as when i fitted my stack dash i put the RPM wire into the coilpack and had to set the stack to 2 cylinders

Gatecrasher

cossiemanden

was you running standard ignition or coil pack when you had yours?

haz87

That i don't know. Mines on an xr3i, not a cossie
However the instructions that come with it are extremely good. Think there online on the site as well

cossiemanden

Just grp.a coil?

cossiemanden

I think you have to consult omex on that one, have also tried to figure that one out

Gatecrasher

if you had it fitted on your car for a year dont you know where the two wires went?

Gatecrasher

is your XR3I efi as efi's ran a coil pack didnt they? will have a look on teh website now thanks for your help

Gatecrasher

one last thing if i do just go out and buy one it ias the single coil version i want snt it?

cossiemanden

Ehh, yes, i USED it on my old engine, for a year which used a single coil(grp.a one), better now?

U need to choose the one for the type of coil u use, nothing else

Gatecrasher

Right just getting back to what i said about when i fitted the Stack dash it was only reading half the Cylinders I.E. one ignition amp runs 2 cylinders and the other runs the other 2

i just had a look on Burtons website

on the single type the code number is OMEXRLL

and it says

Other Info: FOR COIL PACK TYPE IGNITIONS, USE TWIN COIL UNIT OMEX RLLT

on the OMEX RLLT it says

Other Info: SUITS TWIN COIL DISTRIBUTORLESS SYSTEMS

so what one would you go for?

Anyone got a video of this being used on a car?


Looks/sounds fun!

cossiemanden

You can here it in this video

cossiemanden

My guess is the RLLT type for 117Ł for twin coil?

Hi Radders

if you take a look at keith cowie in his R32 Skyline you will see at the 58th second he is using the launch controll to keep the revs to whatever it is he has his rpm set to before lifting the clucth and fucking off

I know mine will be nothing like that but you get the gen idea

How does it work, You flick the switch and it holds it at what ever revs you set it?


What do you do? hold it in 1st with throttle down?

Jasesapphy

iTrader: (1)

Yes basically

Gatecrasher

yes mate

roll up, dip the clutch, put it in first, hit the switch, floor the throttle, lift the clutch and off you GO

now all i need to know is what one i should buy and how i fit it

Dunno if its a wise idea with my cadbury issue box

leecavturbo

Ben is your box and diff's up to it?
you will be surprised at the output
when using LC.

Gatecrasher

Gearbox is a Barra full straight cut and the diffs are Quaife, thick wall casing R&B plate ect wont be wanting to do this when i have the new engine but while its only got 330ish Hp thought why not have a go

no Radders i wouldn’t mate as i said im only doing it as my cars over engineered for what power i have and you can bet your bottom dolla i will still break something

Found this on there site

again is my car a 4 cylinder twin coil now i have the coil pack on?

Also the instructions lok pretty simple

http://www.omextechnology.co.uk/Revl...ads/RLCLCT.PDF

If my car does need the Twin coil version then from the instructions im pretty sure i could do most of it myself

I am interested in this as well Ben, as my car will still be running EEC IV hopefully with around 400ish BHP, so obviously can't use Stu's LC package ..... If you are on P8 why not see if MSD can adapt thier LC programme to run on P8?

Gatecrasher

Hi Will,

i originally wanted stu to custom map my car with the als ect but he doesn’t do P8 using the pectel baby board he uses his own software but unfortunately i had already bought the pectel and it would have meant i would have had to get rid of the P8 and got an L8 aswell ect

must be someone on this site that knows how this all works maybe someone tomorrow will be able to shed some light on the subject as i suppose a lot of people arnt on, on Sunday nights but once back to work the skivers may be able to educate us

Where's Chip and Stav when you need them

This is basically a cruder version of what me and my mate were playing with, in that it can only miss sparks and not do ignition retard as well to really bring the boost up.

You set an RPM you want it to hold you at, you nail the throttle, then as you pull away once the car "hooks up" you let go of the throttle and you get your power back.

If you are on coilpack it has 2 signals to interupt,so yes you need the twin coil setup, where as if you are on a group a coil it has one, but the theory is still the same.

Dead easy to fit, of fairly limited use though and still requires practice to get the timing right for when you let go of the button, and to decide on the optimum RPM.

As a side effect, it probably pops and bangs a bit.

Just out of interest what other options are available for this ? If you were using a level 8 ecu....just need an extra bit for the launch control, the omex sounds like it would work quite well....

Stavros

No, I was having sex.

Hope this helps.

Maybe we could do a group buy on that
