Engine managment

I have a 1.8L zetec on bike carbs currently running on an old zetec ECU and loom, what is the best managment system for its money? I have been looking at omex and just wondered what everyone else uses and how much they cost?

Any advise is welcomed as I don't want to spend a million pounds on the wrong one.

morning!
I would put my money with megasquirt like i have. you can either build it yourself which obviously is cheaper or you can buy built ones. and you can tailor it to suit yours as such for fraction of the price! also these zetec engine loads have mapped them so there is plenty of help out there and base maps to make it easier

Surely if he's running carbs he only needs a Megajolt rather than a Megasquirt?

You sure its bike carbs and not bike throttle bodies? Wouldnt have thought the zetec ecu would work with carbs? I thought the zetec ecu did fuel injection and ignition?

'Jolt (or the new nodiz system, search on here for it) for carbs
'Squirt for throttle bodies and injection

Can I put a MAP sensor on bike carbs? They are carbs I'm not 100% what the ECU and loom is off but all the banger boys that run a zetec with a carb use it I heard it was the first ever zetec engine but I'm not sure

Megajolt it is then!

TPS sensor would be easies with bike carbs imho

Megajolt is great.

MAP needs 4 individual vac take offs 1 from each inlet runner after the carb
TPS is on the throttle butterfly shaft

I have been looking at Megajolt and Nodiz, I would have to say the Nodiz product does have a lot of features going for it, and they are very helpful. might be worth a look.

I would suggest megasquirt/megajolt.

Might be worth going with megasquirt so you have the option of adding fuel injection if you wanted.

There is a massive amount of people out there using it and the amount of information on the internet about it is unbelievable, lots of forums dedicated to this ECU.

This will have to run ign and injection on a Honda vtec v6
And at some stage later I'd love to turbo it if the std internals would cope with a little boost well actually two little boosts being a v it would be easier to mount 2 smaller blowers

An MS1 v3.0 would do all this and more, a MS2 v3.0 would give better RPM resolution in the tables and a larger table size, with some settings trickery you can get 16x32 tables.

I'll have an OMEX 500 ECU with loom for sale as I've just upgraded to a 600 with my Supercharger upgrade. Should be available in about 2 weeks time if you're interested?

i'd go with Megajolt. Super easy to map, and lots of advice and help available on the forums.

Think i've mentioned before i'm just down the road from you - if you want a hand i've fitted Megajolt to two different zetec kit cars.
