its a good ecu and worth it - pm me where you getting it from as ive just purchased a omex 600 with loom, etc for a very good price and the customer service was excellent

710 is really well featured, and omex in general tend to be very reliable.

Ps

What is your reason for wanting aftermarket, just to give you a better choice of tuners, or cause you want to tune it yourself, or are you looking for some feature the standard ecu doesnt have?

cozy777

got rid of std parts ages ago, its been a on off project for last 7 years lol but its time to finish it now and get it back on the road/track

m8 of mine recommended omex 710 as he maps alot of them now and says there good

turnover

got too say ive had them on a few cossie motors now and had no problems,alot of people normally recommend what they are used to fitting and mapping ,all the better name ecu.s all do the same job just different parameters settings etc but they are only as good as the person whos mapping them

whats the diff betweent he 600 and 710?

cozy777

710 can run my 8 injectors

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

is that the only diference?

not really worth the extra expense just to run 8 injectors, when 4 modern injectors are more than enough big bhp

I would personally go for the GEMS EM36 - the Omex 710 was designed by GEMS I believe but the software is from 2005 so is quite outdated on functionality.

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

too late - ive already got a omex 600

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

How does the EM36 compare pricewise??

SiST

I bought an Omex 600 originally but have changed it as it is shite

The GEMS is about 1400 I believe - quite expensive but definately an investment. My tuner got me an AEM ECU which has every feature I wanted for Ł1k and runs a more upto date version of the GEMS software - more than the Omex but once i factored in the boost controller which i needed as the boost management is quite simple on the omex, it was no more compared to say the Omex 710 and Apexi AVCR. With the GEMS you can also map the boost but gear, RPM and speed etc

I have used the 600 on several engines, mostly 20v turbo Audi/VW's and had great results with them all, why didn't you get on with it??

cozy777

your right 4 these days are up to it but i got 8 injector set up there so might as well use it

710 also runs coil on plug ,


that the main function i purchased it

TimC

710 is fully sequential for 4 injectors or batch for 8, 600 is batch for 4 injectors.

There is another difference.

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

710 is sequential on the injectors on an 8cyl car, but wasted spark on the coils.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

No its not the only difference, go and read the spec sheets, there is a lot more between them than that.

Key thing is the extra outputs for both fuelling and ignition, so you can run fully sequential and coil on plug etc.
