Correct....a lightened flywheel only help an engien on a dyno........when connected to a gearbox, prop, read diff and then a 1.7 ton car....they make break all difference!

Plus, you wont take any weight off an Omega flywheel as its a complex multi piece dual mass setup!

As for the exhaust maniofld to head matching....they are already matched!

I wondered if that was the case after I posted the above comment! Learn something new everyday

riiight.... what about opening up the ports to the exhaust manifold and matching the bore in the manifold? (obv would need sports exhaust etc to get benefit)

Stick a supercharged V8 in there and have done with it!

tubelar manifolds alex then match ports

Interestingly, the 2.6 and 3.2 manifolds seem better.

When I have Mick Dundees car on a long term stay and fix programme ina few weeks we shall see just how much better they are.

lol i'm going to invest time money and patience in a v8 omega project but not this minute
i want to work upto a big project like that haha!
i'v thought about a twin turbo project but need to be arsed to buy two t25 garret turbos haha!

oh yeah... from looking at a flywheel on the omega it looks rather like just a solid plate with six bolt holes in the centre and 6 mountings for the torque convertor

let me know what happens with that mark, might have to buy some depending what happens with tubular manifolds lol

Where can I find T25's cheap???

LOL, if its an auto, no flywheel!

You wont get the flywheel any lighter on an auto....as its a flex plate.....they rely on the torque converter weight.
