Welcome to OOF
If you already have the same spec engine in the car then you can just use the existing loom and ECU.
Cavalier, Vectra, Astra, Zafira and Calibra all used variants on the same 2.0 16v engine but being front wheel drive they will have different engine mounts, sump pans, dipsticks and one or two other bits.
They can all be taken from the engine you take out of the Omega and fitted to the replacement.
It's a couple of hours of easy work to swap it all over - even easier if you have an engine stand.
Hi chaps.
One of our omegas has problems with engine. Its time for a swap. Its x20Xev.
Well i have 2 types of question here.
1. I do know 2.2 y22 from FL omega will fit assuming I am using my manifolds. I would think 2.2 from Frontera x22 would be suitable as well, but can anyone confirm this? I do know it has separate engine oil cooler, but i can fit that as well.
2. As i am newbie i cant write in WANTED parts area. I am looking for options to get omega petrol 2.0 or 2.2 engine around Brighton area within 50 miles radius. Could moderator post this for me as i am not selling , but looking for parts.
Some background:
I used to live in Brighton and still have a few friends there that are sort of mechanics. Now i am in Bulgaria. Well i got an LDV van in here and needed a few bits and bobs - so got in UK complete engine + gearbox+turbo Ford turbo Di. So its in my mates garage in Brighton. Than was offered in UK cheap VM 2.5tdi complete engine ( same as Chrysler voyager, Jeep cherokee, Frontera A 2.5tds, Late Ford Scorpio, some Rover i think, etc,etc,etc) . Than was offered cheap air compressor for impact tools. So to sum up - i have quite a bit of heavy and chunky stuff to get back to Bulgaria. I dont think omega will manage all of these at once. ..........My dad has knackered his engine, so now I am looking for a replacement. I am seeing 2 ways of doing it: 1. buying Frontera in Uk, loading it with engines, etc,etc, and when it comes here using its engine on omega. Fronteras break here for good money. 2. buying another 2.0 or 2.2 omega engine near Brighton( or whole car for breaking as my mate would do it for me) and getting a van to get these bits here.
Any Ideas or suggestions are much appreciated
so what exactly will i need to do if i change? im just trying to get an idea if itd be worth it,i can probably get a friend to do the work
