any one any i deas on how i could get the most power out of my 2.5v6 omega getting the brain remapped and maby 3.0 cams but any other ways? all ideas welcome 

[Dan282]

Cams and a chipped ecu are a good start. Weight reduced, limited slip diff, exhaust maybe?

How much easier it would be to put 3,0 engine in, achieve same results and save a lot of money... With 3,0 cams and chipped ecu you will not get even near to +10% power. I'd say +10 horsepower max. 3,0 engine has got more.

3.0 cams plus inlet divider will see circa 18-20 bhp gains (3.0 cams have higher lift), if going further then 3.2/2.6 manifolds are much improved over the cast items on 2.5/3.0

Yes, but putting a whole 3,0 lump in will give the same/even better result and seems that these engines are available for less than 100 pounds so I'd be tempted to change the whole lot.. and then, if needed, putting the chipped ecu to that setup. And still the car will never ever be significantly quicker, nor it will become a sports car.

A 3.0 transplant is an alernative (Although the query was how to get more go out of a 2.5), going 3.0 then the better manifolds are also an option

Superior, see.

Are 3.2 cams no use btw ? Just wondered, in case they come up before 3.0 cams, for the op.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Unproven would be a better phrase, given the 2.6/3.2 have poorer eonomy than th 2.5/3.0 then I would be going for the earlier setup (plus there should be more about of the 3.0 ones)

[AndyStobbs]

J shafts seem to be half way between A and G from what I quickly observed on mine.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Interesting as I have never had an opportunity to measure the lift or duration on a set of J's.

Out of interest, has anybody dropped a set of G cams off a 3ltr in a 3.2 ?
Replacing either inlet, exhaust or maybe both ?

I just happen to have a set off my 3lt cams sat here and the cam covers / timing belt just happen to be on the agenda  this year

About to do just that. Haven't fired it up yet but that's the spec I'm building my 3.2 to. Removed the J pair and replaced with G. Giving 4xG

It would be interesting to see a late set of slightly ported 2.5 or 2.6 heads fitted to a 3.2 as well (in order to restore the compresison ratio dropped when the 3.2/2.6 lost the EGR)

[husky12]

3.0 heart is next plan of action wen this engine blows, wat wud all need to be changed? and 3.0 engines arnt that easy come buy in northern ireland and arnt that cheap, unless any one knows of one?/ also in the post i put 2.5 i keep for getting the engine is 2.6 block, head nd cams running 2.5 gear.
thanks for all help

What was Daz doing to that engine he has
