Omega General Help / Re: oil cooling jets

« on: 04 April 2008, 08:27:48 »

Hi
I was actually enquiring about the type which is a rail with jets, so does this engine have any form of lower bore lubrication other than oil splash/ mist, I would not thought it got much oil splash as the rear two thirds of the sump does not appear to hold any oil, it is all drained into the front part of the sump, also there is a baffle plate fitted to the bottom of the main bearings on the rear part of the engine, which is above any level of the oil, has this been fitted to aid lower bore lubrication? I'm finding difficult to know which way to go with this engine there does'nt seem to be a previous attempt to dry sump it and I'm finding it hard to get any information so as much information would be greatly appreciated. I still want to use the original oil pump as the pressure part of the system but am still trying to get the flow rate for this pump, I have E-Mailed Vauxhall directly, so heres hoping! I am concerned now as I dont want to seize the engine, so any experience would be appreciated, to add a spray jet would not be easy as I want to use the original pump and this could effect the flow to other parts of the engine and is it neccessary? sorry to go on
Thanks
Alan

Omega General Help / y32se engine

Hi
I have another question on the y32se engine, does anyone know the flow rate of the standard oil pump in this engine ie Ltrs/min, or where I might get that information? I need it to size the scavenging pump for the dry sump system.
Thanks
Alan

Omega General Help / y32se engine

« on: 01 April 2008, 10:18:32 »

Hi
I am new to this forum and I dont actually own an omega but I am a Vauxhall fan, I have 2 Vauxhall firenza's, I have just bought a 2002 omega y32se engine to fit into one of the firenza's which I have mated to a getrag manual 5sp dt gearbox, but to get the engine far enough back in the car I need to do something about the sump, it has the bulk at the front of the engine, so I am looking at dry sumping this engine, has any one had any experience of doing this, is there a dry sump pan available for this engine? or has any one fabricated their own? I am thinking of leaving the standard oil pump in exit the the pickup pipe through the new sump and fitting a two stage scavaging pump and oil tank, any help with this would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Alan
