LS2 coils

[steveobes]

Been a bit busy on car.
Replaced omex ecu with megasquirt.
problem was ecu would not run existing coil pack without a extra support module.
so I thought id do away with my old coil pack with all those long ht leads
and go for coil on plug LS2 truck coils
the power of the spark on these coils is massive compaered to ford set up.

What was wrong with the omex steve?

[steveobes]

nothing wrong with omex,had full firmware upgrade and check from omex last year.
just needed more pin outs to run water injection.
gona sell omex if you know anyone

Why didn't you use an Omex 710?

[Gadgeroonie]

you could have run a wasted spark system like the 2.5 nobles do

what omex ecu did you have ?

Gadge i think steve has got a 2.5

Why do you need to run the water injection through the ecu Steve? i guess you are using the omex 710?

[steveobes]

was running omex 700 which im going to sell.
now running mega squirt with fully sequential.
new ecu is a lot easier to map,plus I built ecu so was a good deal cheaper than new omex.
Check out megasquirt ecu, good price plus good options list.
Already got car to start n idle better than I ever did with old ecu.

Megasquirt has water injection control in software so controllable with boost.
To be honest,mapping is not my thing really, but my son nile has built n mapped
his car very successfully using megasqiurt so is very familiar with wiring n mapping this ecu.
So far very pleased with it.
Really don't think you need to spend thousands on ecu,
My mate spent 3k on motec n mine does everything his does apart from throttle by wire.
