Omega General Help / another odd trait of owning a VX

« on: 24 April 2008, 12:00:32 »

When accelerating up to the redline some times the engine will judder/sounds like its holding back and this will cuase the brake warning light to flicker in time with the engine missing.

Just fitted a new GM cranksensor 10 days ago and has been fine since but today she feels wierd.

Am i to be worried?

Thanks

Omega General Help / Lower Divider help???

« on: 23 April 2008, 00:50:37 »

On the V6 vectras it was a common mod to change the 2.5 lower inlet divider to a 3.0 due to larger bores etc and this gave a little more power and torque,

Does this apply to omegas too?

Thanks

Omega General Help / Fitting 3.0 Cams?

« on: 16 April 2008, 22:40:24 »

What power and torque increases am i likely to see fitting the above to my 2.5?

Also is fitting just a case of carefully removing them and refitting while leaving the cambelt alone?
