Currently I have no indication of my speed so I use my phone and a gps app for my speed.
The wire for the rpm display on the dash has been snipped and the output from the omex is now connected so I get to see my rpm on the dash but the Ecu has no f@#king idea what's going on.
Also not getting a read out for my coolant temp.
Thankfully the fuel level display works.
Essentially I've unplugged the engine, removed it.
And trimmed off anything that wasn't needed.
I kept the reverse switch wiring, coolant sensor(the one in the engine and not rad)
speed sensor (vss) and the alternator wiring (4 wires, used one)
The after market Ecu was plonked in and given a live, ignition live and earth, then the rest of the harness plugged onto engine(with some modifications but nothing that would affect speed/eps)
So essentially the Ecu is sat there like, I'm on, I'm de-immobilised, but what the shit is happening?

Sounds like you have a lot of wiring to do. It will probably be easier to get a after market dash with extra inputs and outputs then you might be able to foul the eps if the dash you get can output the correct signal. I know of a nearly new motec c125 with the input and output options and looms but you might not want to pay the price!!!

Changing my diff to an r200 so this is probably best option for speedo
