Some good pics there matey

So did you drill and tap from the underside of the manifold then i take it???
Looks a good job tho, may try that on my other manifold, once i get the car all up and running.

Nope drilled from the top in the same direction as the petrol injectors, then countersunk the hole from the bottom.  Don't forget to use some threadlock....

I think i missed that one, i take it an MV6 doesn't have one?  

Correct. If you look up under the airbox, just in front of the front driver's side wheel there is a load of space up there. Jay W fitted the ECU and vapouriser there.

That's exactly where i put my vapouriser, i do have a water leak at the moment, so it'll be nice and easy to work with the car on stands.

Here a few more flicks anyway...  The one of the tank was my last 2.0GLS but my MV6 is just the same.

Thanks!

Shall i just post all of my pics?  then anyone can print them off ready for doing the job...?

I'd also be keen to know where people put the ECU, i bolted mine opposite the pollen filter and fed the wires through a large rubber grommet to the left into the HBV area.

Omega General Help / How tough are the facelift manifolds and cats?

« on: 20 July 2008, 21:37:37 »

The reason i ask is that i usually slowly reverse off my drive which has a 3" drop so as not to clobber the cats.

Today i was working on the car so i reversed it onto the drive and then drove forwards to drive off.  Unfortunatly i drove off without thinking and before knew it i heard and felt a huge bang as lower elbow of the downpipes hit the deck  

What are the chances i could have sheared a manifold stud or damage the downpipe?  The car seems ok but as my mind is now playing games with me i keep thinking that the engine sounds different.  This is the first and only V6 i have driven so  have no other car to compare it against.

I've heard that the facelift manifolds and downpipes are stronger, but how strong? strong enough to take a battering from a moronic drivere  

Thanks in advance...

I'm not too concerned about using the same connectors, but if i do it'll look much better in the engine bay...

I've looked at Samtec but couldn't find a great deal, i'll ty googling in a bit

Thanks

Omega General Help / Water tight connectors...

« on: 20 July 2008, 13:00:29 »

Hi,

I need a few of these water tight automotive connectors to complete my LPG install.  Most of the system has the already, but some of the wires don't.. ie: tank sensor, temp sensor.

Does anyone know where i can get them?  I tried Maplins and CPC but they are a bit over priced and didn't have the correct type.



Sorry if this is the wrong part of OOF, please move if needed.

Thanks

Omega General Help / Re: Rocker cover gasket change...

« on: 20 July 2008, 11:03:37 »

Make sure the old seal is completely removed; I used a wooden splint for mine.  I also used some spirits to clean the surface before putting back together.

IIRC, 8nm isn't it?  

20nm and you'll be doing the job twice!

Omega General Help / Re: How to adjust LPG vapouriser pressure?

« on: 20 July 2008, 10:46:20 »

For info..

3.0 facelift

I upped the pressure on mine to 1 bar, injectors at 3mm & 4 hole tank.

No errors get thrown at all now & it will accelerate all the way at full throttle. I've just towed my pikey box to Cornwall without it ever switching back to petrol. Only used about £65 worth of gas!

Excellent... i have to adjust the pressure on mine too.  Didn't know i could until reading this thread.

Dunno what they are.  They were (or should) be the correct rating for the power output of the 2.6.  I recall having to specify exactly which model and bhp my car was whn i bougt the kit.

Here's a pic anyway...
