I'm having some problems with mine, and wonder if anyone else has the same, or if it works well.
I am running the original ECU.

[feeutfo]

What problems are you having Andy? Home made headers, or after market perhaps?

[Andy89]

When I press the pedal all the way the engine cuts all power, and my idle is going from 600 - 2000 on a hot engine, it's not going between these numbers, but sometimes it's 600, other times it's 1200/1500/2000

[albitz]

Try cleaning the idle control valve.

[Andy89]

Yeah but that does not explain why all the engines powers are cut, does it?
but i'll check into it.

It's aftermarket headers btw

[feeutfo]

Could it need remapping?

What headers, and how much? Link?

[Andy89]

Is it possible to remap the ECU?

It's these:

Just got an email from the ones that make it, and they did not think it would have anything to do with the headers

[feeutfo]

Via chip, yes. Will need to be specific map to your car though. The best petrol chip is for oe header engine. So I guess you'll be in new territory.

Oe headers are said to be the most restrictive part of air flow through the omega engine. So if that's the case yours may well be running lean at the top end if the stock fuel system can't keep up... "IF" it's a fueling problem.

I guess your in rolling road territory for set up now....?

Keep us informed though if you would be so kind. There might be a few on here interested in this project.

Where did you get the headers? Surprised they include the coolant transfer pipe though, if that's what it is?

[Andy89]

I've been wondering about if there is any gain putting 3.2l fuel injectors and 4bar fuelpressure regulator.

I'm currently overhauling an engine(x30xe), so most probably nothing will happen until its finnished.

I'll keep you informed

The coolant pipe does not include, and the headers do not come wrapped.
If you look for a thread of mine in Omega general help, you will find info about the headers

Yes found in your history. Headers hit the steering and no good for auto. That's not good is it? 

[Andy89]

I have no trouble driving arround with it, and i got a manual, so i don't care 

This is where the steering hit the headers on a hard left turn

Would it take much to alter them?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Any fault codes?

Given the revs are bouncing up and down and its hesitating badly I would be checking for air leaks etc as a start.

No fault codes, checked at opel dealer.

Idle is not going up and down, but from time to time i can be a different idle.
sometimes it's 600 other times it can be 1500.

Alter them to miss the steering and the auto box...?
