Omega General Help / Re: Ex-pod cars

« on: 17 August 2010, 10:51:14 »

Hey, i've got a little question...

take a look at this one
http://otomoto.pl/opel-omega-omega-mv6-3-2-anglik-kombi-v5-C14684855.html

it seems to be ex-pod (3.2 manual)

but interesting is it has mechanical throttle and egr, so it has to run on motronic 2.8.1

Does any 3.2 ex-pod manual miggy run 2.8.1, or there's something wrong with this car (engine swap?)

I'll let you know how things progress with this.

V8 (from Monaro for example) can be fitted in Omega, there were some projects like that here in Poland, but it is a lot of work...
But i'm still interested in project you mentioned with s/ced V8

If one of these will fit in a Holden then it can't be too difficult to fit it in an Omega, probably easier and cheaper than modifying the Vauxhall V6 engine when you consider that you'll need Forged pistons to take the extra power and heat produced inside the engine and your cams will need to be reprofiled to work well in a forced induction engine, and would the crank be strong enough to take the extra power ?

the thing is there's no need to get forged pistons etc for making 5PSI or less, all i have to do is fit the s/c, modify the wheels for the new belt, of course make new air intake and ECU. I don't even need the intercooler at this moment, because the air compression won't be too high.

well V8 would be ideal, but i don't want to make such a big changes to my miggy, and i would like to make my engine extracharged - just for fun & to know how complicated it is (or not)

i just wanna make a project similar to steinmetz's one, at the beginning as simple as it can be

my friend recenlty has turbocharges his miggy A C30SE, the total cost was about 4000 pounds...

here in V6 it could be even more expensive

Putting a couple of pounds boost onto an engine that already has 10.7:1 compression is not worth the bother, IMHO.
Kevin

well, it's all true, so just like i said, i'm gonna make some soft charging, i don't need turbo with such reserve of power that won't be ever used...

if my 3.0V6 won't handle without reducing compression i will try to use 3.2 V6 engine, it has compression about 10.0:1 afair


it will be some kind of experiment for me, i'm not gonna make 300BHP or more, rather get some practice for projects in future...

i'will probably buy a V6 miggy from UK, because those are really cheap, and i will make all the modifications on this motor. Then, when every thing will be done and working fine the supercharger and stuff will be moved to my car...

turbo seems to work o.k with v6 saab engines and calibra v6turbo, so could work well with omega very similar engine i thought both gm units arn't they
www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/saab-9-3-v6.htm

1. i don't need turbo to achieve 5 PSI
2. installing turbo would be really more expensive than supercharger
3. installng turbo would be more complicated to fit (oil, cooling, lack of place for exhaust pipes)
4. turbo won't be efective under 3000rpm, supercharger 'gives power' instantly all over the rev range (no turbo lag)
5. i wanna be unique and i want to have supercharger

i would say there would be a lot of reliabilty probs with all the pressure on the pipes and engine i think turbo would be the best opion i think

this engine won't handle tubro until you make expensive modifications...
i just wanna make some soft charge (about 5PSI)

here you can find interesting turbo vs. supercharger comparison:

have a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViGhqPlbTw0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgnp3-BPUj0&feature=related

yeah, i've seen all those videos, the thing that worries me is all the videos show test, test rides, there are no viedos showing that these cars live with their supercharges, i mean there are no complications after long usage, long distances etc. I would like to drive supercharged omega for two years, not for two days...

Omega General Help / Supercharger

« on: 17 November 2009, 23:46:56 »

Hi everyone,
i'm considering placing a supercharger in my miggy, has anyone already done it here?

I've been searching the forum, but I didn't found any supercharged V6 miggy here.

Perhaps some of you already tried to make a supercharged V6 here?

I'm gonna make some soft supercharging, (about 5 PSI) to avoid expensive modifications of engine. I will probably use eaton m62.

If anyone has some experience with superchargers please contact me

Omega General Help / Re: Thermostat

« on: 14 July 2009, 16:21:17 »

Any other ideas please?

i think you need a new radiator if the water pump is ok

check if the whole surface of the radiator gets hot when the thermostat lets the water to flow through the radiator... if the radiator is only partly hot, you need a new one

Omega General Help / Re: engine note!

« on: 02 April 2009, 14:23:41 »

The reason I ask this is because my wife drove the car yesterday and I didn't hear it go past me and I was only feet away? but the 2.5 was very audible and I liked the sound it made....

perhaps different air filter? try for a moment with open air filter box, or with no filter at all...

Omega General Help / Re: Check oil level mystery?

« on: 25 March 2009, 15:13:59 »

afaik there are two oil signals:
  'ckeck oil level' - appears when oil level is on half way of min---max (not so dangeorus)
  and second signal is 'engine oil level', which is worse, it means the oil level is min or less

  the idea is smart - the car tells 'check oil level' because you're loosing it somehow, but you can still drive the car

  if there wasn't such notification, you would get only 'engine oil level' signal, when there is already not enough oil for engine to work safely...

Omega General Help / Re: I want my V6 to be loud!!

« on: 12 September 2008, 14:14:57 »

Hello Guy snad Gals.

As I am competing in a charity rally next spring i am looking at one or two bolt ons to amplify the sound of the 2.5l V6

you can use the cone air filter, it will gain the sound of v6 and make it sound awesome!

perhaps cone will give you a bit more perfomance too

Do you think the MAF will mind? I know some cars dont like the oiled type cones. I dont want to tempt fate as reliabillity is v important on the trip lol

everything will be ok, i use cone filter, many of my friends too, no problems at all

Omega General Help / Re: LPG exhaust vapour?

« on: 12 September 2008, 11:56:40 »

Been running my Elite for 4 months now and noticed a steamy ? exhaust when sitting at lights when all other cars arent producing any vapours.

Does LPG usually do this ?

All seems well with oil , water and temp so a bit curious.........

don't worry, everything is ok

the products of lpg combustion are water vapour and CO2,

another thing is, the lpg combustion gives a bit higher temperature then gasoline combustion, so the exhaust gas also can be a bit warmer

here in Poland many many cars run on lpg, and it is normal to see 'clouds' of water vapour behind them (at lights for example)
