looking for a tuning box (chip) for a 2.5td omega....not sure where to get this am im new to the diesal opel scene...
also could i use that tuning box and get it remapped or would one cross off the other?
any info greatly appreciated :)
-
Go for an upgraded ecu chip rather than a box,if your car is an auto then a gearbox upgrade will be needed as well as the standard AR25 won't last long with the torque increased.
-
Tuning box is a waste of time (and actually a bodge). Get a decent chip.
Omegatoy and I can advise, based on what you currently have. Note, some of the ebay ones are shockingly shite (and some very good - its a pot luck games there)

i have a manual version...my uncle can tune turbo diesals its his business can these be remapped and if so how high bhp can i go before i do serios damage to the engine?
thanks for any info :)

When we use to race the BM 325 TDSE you could remap them comfortable to 185 BHP, and at a push by upgrading the Turbo, Boost pressure and Exhaust get the up to to just under 200 BHP but they wouldn't last very long.

Lump from a 335d it is then ;D

id be happy out with 185bhp for the moment she is going drifting so that power would do till I can find a cheap mv6.....:P
I will also be putting a straight through exhaust and front mount as well :)

Doubt whether you get 185 Bhp from an Omega TD, they where detuned over the original BM 2.5TD lumps, plus the BM SE flavour also left the Factory with a few ponies than the standard BM 2.5TDs

I think the engine is too fragile for that level of power. But as a track car, its not that important if it breaks, as it'll be towed home anyway.

id be happy out with around 160brake..would she be able for that do you think?.she is gettin stripped and lightned alot so hopefully she will kick out:)O....if i got a few track days id be happy out :)

I think the chips that Terry the chipman does are all iro 150ish. A bit of turbo tweaking (but not too much!) and bloody good servicing and having a permenent fan on the intercooler, you should be in that area.
Bin that bloody viscous though, useless PoS.

sounds good :)...it will be after christmas when i start spending money on it i need to get a diesal daily first :P....il post plenty pics of the build :)
-
If its a daily runner, or is used to travel to/from drifting events, I'm not sure I'd take it much beyond BMW spec of 150ish bhp. Did I mention its a fragile engine? And it tends not to break slightly, it breaks properly ;D

no she is going to be trailered to and from drifting and track days..:)....random question but does anyone know how much an omega diesal tank would weigh?...il be taking it off and getting a smaller tank im just wondering how much would it weigh :)
-
Pretty much break all. 5kg? Seem to remember mine being light, even with some fuel in it when tunnie and I took it off.

im hoping to turn it into a pick up....full cage and no roof from the front seats back....no floor and weld in checkered plating....no back doors,no boot....need to get her as light as possible to have any chance of having some fun with it..:O...

Alot of effort for little gain :-\
What you actually need is a V6, some partworn shit chinese tyres and a very heavy right foot :y

Remember that well, super clean in there for a what, 140k old tank?
I remember it being very light, no bother for me, which means it is practically nothing weight wise ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's plastic, so nothing to it.
