Hey everybody, I've seen this site many times and found some things for sale and was wondering...if it's possible to change the ECU for the 3.0 V6 in a "Catera" wich is essentially an Omega B, and replace it with the ECU from AN ORIGINAL Omega B. I wonder this because here in the USA, when GM brought the Omega over, they essentially detuned it from 211bhp to 200 due to emissions.
I've seen tuning chips on ebay.de and the like and believe they work well. First thing is to get an original Omega ECU and replace it with the US version due to the HP changes and the Mapping. Then, replace the chip in the Omega with the uprated Mapping and should have 232bhp and around 220lb-ft correct? I was also worried if i would need the transponder unit and keys as well considering the immobiliser unit has a chip in the key.
Regardless, it's great to see many people with the same car as I do, and MANY guides! Here's a couple pictures of my ride. Feel free to comment on any upgrades as I will be doing many.
