Not really, but I had some head work done by Neil Garner who's based in Cheltenham. He recommended I go see Dave for cam timing...

Unless the Omex can come with all the parts to make it virtually plug in and play the KMS is a surefire winner for my situation.
With the engine transplant theres no way i can hear the engine running before id get the ECU fitted (Standard ECU wont work as im using my existing keys, transponder, all ignition stuff)
So the KMS with a basemap which is easy to fit with single plug is the obvious choice

Neil fitted a big valve cylinder head for me. He's not exactly cheap I can tell you that!
Your old man recommended Omex 600 as the ECU of choice. He said that he wouldn't be the one who would wire it in though, that would need to be done by someone next door to him. I would bi interested in what they would quote for me for the complete job, I.e., installation of the bodies, ECU, loom and mapping...

No Neil isn't the cheapest your not the first person whos said that lol, you could of got that done at mech.
No he wouldnt be the one who makes up the looms etc, Mech Repairs next door do all the fitting + wiring, and Mech Motorsport do all the mapping & tuning etc on the rolling road.
Omex do produce their own TB's which are similar to Jenvy's. Ring either Mech Repairs for a quote on the fitting (01242 243385) or my dad (Dave) on 07711896878
Mapping would be approx £250 maybe £300 i would of thought.
I would of thought your engine with a ported head, cams, throttle bodies & omex would be a right little screamer!

You did? Ooops! 
Do you have a link to the info? IIRC, wasn't that without the installation of any bodies?

On top of that, see what the costs are for installing the bodies too. Basically the whole thing mate! The price to carry out a full conversion, so install the bodies, sensors required, all the loom and ECU, and then mapping. Cheers fella!
