Title: New owner missing tuning tips
Post by: Omega_Ron on 18 December 2007, 19:50:34
Hi all,
Just bought a 2.5 V6 Omega Caravan model 2000 and want to increase power by simple mod's...!
On sport bikes there is a approx 10 percent increase, in power and torque by just changing air filter, exhaust and tuning injection/carbs.
Do anybody have any recommendations, on simple mods on Omega V6, to increase power and respond with confirmed improvements?

Welcome Ron....   loads of great advice and great fun on here....  please enlighten me is the Omega Caravan what we call an Estate or a Tourer????   First time I've ever heard this description..

"Look! I said Caravan "Towable Home" and didn't get shouted at by Jaime!"

Sorry Ron, it's an old joke on here!!!!  You'll get the gist of thinks if there are any responses, I'm sure...

Hi Ron and welcome.  Best mod is to swap the engine for a 3.0  :-X

In all seriousness the Omega panel filter works well and gains are rarely found from expensive aftermarket ones.  Best place for a full discussion is to post again in "General Chat"  :y

Hi Dave
A "Caravan" is an old expression for an Estate, at least I think it is... (was born i the 60's)
Don't you all think that the V6 is quite hard to wake up, to get it revvin and put some HP on the tarmac...?
I would like instant respons as with my bikes (sport and MPV 996cc V2)
Yes, I should probably have bought a 3.0 but this silver Estate is a beauty, with it's dancing shoes (sports 17")...

Just to make fun with my friends, I will remove all Opel badges and put on Cadillac instead...

Cheers
Ron

Hello & Welcome  :y

I know of the Omega Caravan, cos my little fella has a diecast model, which was sold as Omega Caravan  :y

Best Mods are 3.0 cams can be added
Or get a performance chip

Hi and welcome to the fourm!

naa unfortunatly there isnt really anything for tuning the omega. only option would be to upgrade to a 3.0 or 3.2. The 3.0l engine are pritty cheap and can be picked up for under £200.

Hi ron, try fitting the cams from a 3.0ltr, it really livens the 2.5 up and does not have to be declared[ if you dont want to of course] to the insurance co, they wont know if you dont tell em. :)

Do you have any figures on increase of power or improved respons?
For example a dyno test?
I figure new cam shaft ain't such a cost effective improvement I'm looking for.
Thanks for your advice.
Happy holiday!

May be better to ask the performance Qs in 'Omega Help' section for best responses.
