Omega General Help / Re: tuning a V6
« on: 17 November 2006, 17:02:46 »
raising fuel pressure is great. however, if the fuel pressure is too high, this can affect the injector opening, which can be bad.
Turbocharged cars are reliable. crap engine (c20let) / badly looked after / asking the engine to do something it wasnt ever designed to do with out changing the parts needed and its gonna end in tears.
Plus a turbo'd car allowed 100% VE - not many N/A cars can do this.
and why would you want to drift on a track? unless you're into drifting, then its pointless, especially as most tracks dont like you doing it, and to make progress you need to be going in a straight line.
I had a 3.0 Elite Auto myself - i was going to plough £3k into it, but at the end of the day, it was never going to produce the power i wanted.
Moral to the story - want a fast car, start with a fast car in the first place.
The Omega is good at what it does. its an exec car.
Cams, Chip, decent air filter and a free flowing exhaust will add some benefits, even with the manifold restriction.
I still hold aspirations of manufacturing some tubular manifolds for one - perhaps when we get a unit / more development time we will, however, as is often the case, they wont be cheap, so not many will will sold.

Omega General Help / Re: Thinking about getting a chip for my 2.2 dti
« on: 28 February 2007, 14:41:26 »
We provide many options.
The map for the 2.2DTI cannot be downloaded, only replaced, so a tuning box would be best if you ever want to set it back to standard at any point.
I have a customer who had a new map uploaded to his 2.0 DTI Vectra. It now shuts down his sister in laws 170bhp+ Toyota Celica

Omega General Help / Re: ecu chips
« on: 30 October 2007, 16:54:57 »
The ECU for the 2.5 is a different version to the one for the 3.0, so the chips arent interchangable.
You would need a chip for your 2.5 ECU.

Omega General Help / Powersounder..
« on: 26 September 2007, 00:18:22 »
My dads power sounder keeps going off randomly.
its done this ever since i sent a pheasant to meet its maker.
It hit the bumper and broke the bottom bracket for the headlight.
any ideas what would cause this? have since disconnected it and its making life easier on the ears (and the neighbours!)

Omega General Help / Re: Can't get out of park....
« on: 17 September 2007, 23:13:46 »
i think the ignition has to be on.
if you remove the plastic gear surround, you can flick the lever and take it out of park.
if its not coming out of park when the ignition is on, then its likely your brake light switch.
