Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I don’t suppose any of the other Mega S2000 owners out there happens to have kept the original Honda water temp sender have you? (I must have thrown mine away when I installed the Omex ecu). Note, it’s the OEM Honda sensor I’m after, as I’m changing ecu and the new one will use the OEM Honda senders.

darve Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Why are you changing ecu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy (Sycho) Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Dave I may have one, I can have look but I’m not sure what it looks like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 does this mean you've given in and ordered the supercharger Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 No supercharger ordered Steve! The Omex 630 was never intended for someone like me! it will run the S2000 engine fine in a standard Mega S2000, or one with throttle bodies etc, it’s just that I like to fiddle develop the car, and that’s where it falls down, yes, you can remap fuel and ignition, but otherwise it seems every time I start to consider the direction I’d like to move in, or think about changes, the ecu cuts me off before I start. I could have gone part way and changed to an Omex 710, but that wouldn’t really have covered some of the things for the future. So instead I’ve gone down the DTA S80 route. It will cover all my options shot of changing to a GDI engine!! I’ll need to make a fresh ecu loom up, so have already bought a second hand Honda engine loom to harvest connectors from, and as fellow S2000 owners will know, it’s an engine out job to remove and refit the loom, so one for winter. But at least this way, I’ll have a complete Omex 630 with sensors and loom to move on to offset the new set up a little. I’ll be honest, this has been spurred on as much as anything by Stack and their UK tech support specialists inability to ever get fully to grips with a speedo problem I’ve had from the start. (The speedo being the non Stack designed instrument in their range - it’s just a rebranded generic speedo made by the company that owns Stack). I’ve loved the analogue gauge look, the Stack gauges look great, and the Stack Dash ST 700 Series, with its analogue rev counter plus digital oil pressure gauge/oil temp gauge has been fantastic, I will miss that. But it’s back to digital dash’s for me, where I feel most comfortable, and for that I need a proper working can bus output from the ecu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim.McKeegan Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I will have a look tonight. I think I still have all the original parts from when I bought the engine. It’s the one that did go on the intake manifold isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I still have all the original parts from when I bought the engine. It’s the one that did go on the intake manifold isn’t it? That’s right, it goes in the end of the inlet manifold, nearest the cockpit, near where the EGR valve is and where the water elbow fits. (ie, not the sensor in the inlet manifold that faces the cylinder head directly, and goes in between the intake runners! That ones the air temp sender, and you need that!

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Incidentally, Ian found a very nice looking Jenvey throttle body set up that’s available in the US, the other week, uses the same Jenvey SF’s as normal, but has a really nice manifold, that properly includes all the front water recirculating/bleed connections, that I’m starting to suspect are more important than has previously been given credit. May ask them what they’d charge to ship to UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
