Don't see why not, but I'm not sure why you'd want that really...

It seems odd then that GMC are using the stock ECU and the KMS together to get around the fact that the coolant and oil temperature gauges cannot be viewed. There must be something else to this.
When I mentioned getting an Omex 600 to QEP, they told me the same thing, that I would lose the option of being able to display those gauges. So something is definately causing this issue...

my omex was on a 3 plug car before i had it if that helps, its all hard wired into the main car loom though, so not a simpple plug in and play. id speak to martin from tweeqd on here i know he did a wiring loom for a 16v rallye from scratch.

Did you lose the oil and coolant temperature gauges?

the cars not fully built so cant say, personally id go omex over kms, due to the many problems ive read from people running kms. Omex have been around alot longer and from being on different forums they seem popular on all marques of cars. emerald are also good espec as dave walker sells them irc and mapping is a tad cheaper

All I need is the answer to the temperature questions, and then I can decide which one to purchase.

Prices for the ECU's etc are on Emeralds website
Basically any good engine work place i,e Hiflow heads, qep etc can you make you a harness mate with the Emeraly built into it
Think Hiflow do it for about £250

After I had the cylinder head changed in my car, I went to a motorsport place in Cheltenham (Mech Motorsport I think...) and they optimised my cam timing, and did a fantastic job. The chap doing the work was recommending the Omex 600 to me...

Only the KMS and the Omex 600 mate.
I can get whole lot done, including KMS DTH ITBs, by GMC for just under £3k including VAT. Can it be done cheaper with other parts, or people? I just don't know.
EDIT: This is with reference to Leeroy's post, lol.

At the time, the chap told me they could wire up an Omex for me. But I hadn't looked into things much at that point in time, so i didn't have any of these questions to ask.
