That is something else just like the fella with the 2JZ-GTE motor swap.

Also you got some neat brake vents and a cool boot lid spoiler too.

Looks great just get some bigger wheels for it and you will be set.

How is the power of that motor its around 220hp right?

The horse power of 2JZ GE VVTI engine ranges from 215 to 230 depending on the car model it's originally from. If I'm not mistaken, the Crown model has around 215 hp while Aristo or Lexas has 220 hp and above. I assume Golf's car has more horses as he had it slightly modified.

Now where can you buy an omega in Thailand?, I know they'll be pre-facelift and GLS spec., and probably be asking for silly money aswell compared to what we would pay in the UK.

There has been no brand new Omega for sale since around 1998 when the importer& dealer stopped marketing Opel. GM has come to market their cars by themselves but under the name of Chevrolet. Now we have Chevrolet Safira, Aveo, Optra, Captiva, etc. but no Omega. Used Omegas are sold here very cheap like most European cars except Mercedes and BMW, which are still popular and regarded as prestigious cars.

Hi if the twin turbo is not a simple straight swap i have a fancy for a 4.0 v8 from a lexus ls400 for my Omega, any one tried to fit anything like this before, if it will work i am stealing my father in law's car and stripping it out
Kack

Hi Kack,
Some of us here were trying with the V8 from Lexus but there would be too many modifications involved as the engine is too wide for the Omega. It's not worth it, though.
I think just a simple 2JZ GE VVTI from Toyota Aristo is good enough for driving in any traffic conditions. However, if you mainly drive out of town, a 1JZ GTE VVTI (single turbo)suits best for Omega. It's fun to drive, but not good for congested traffic 'cause the turbo won't boost below, say 2200 RPM.

right then, how many thais want to come for a holiday (and fit a supra twin turbo for me!!!!!)

Hi Simon, I won't recommend the twin turbo engine (2JZ GTE VVTI) because there is not enough space for the twin turbo. Therefore, if you put the engine in you have to get rid of the steering gearbox and find a "rack and pinion" type to replace it. In case of Pun's car (with the twin turbo), he uses a Rack& Pinion from a Honda. Handling result is not satisfactory.

Hi Kack,
Nice to know you. Now it's me, AD, the real "ThaiOmegaLover". I had given my name and password to a friend to have him help posting all the pictures above. His name is Anucha, one of the administrators of www.opellove.com. Thank you very much Anucha. None of us here in Opel Omega community is a movie star. The car with some bodyguards around belongs to a core member of the club. He just happened to visit the site where they are running the camera for a movie. Then he asked them to take a picture with his car. Will talk to you more Kack. I have something to take care of now.
