Performance upgrades 3.2
« on: 12 February 2012, 19:06:32 »

I've just bought this 3.2 omega elite,  ;D  got some standard shocks, not self leveling, and minus 40 mm springs on the way. so that is the suspension sorted out, I've been looking all over this forum and can't seem to find any engine modes that are worth doing.

Does anyone have any ideas or experiences in moding  3.2 2002 omega?
I wanna get about 270 b.h.p. and can't find any twin exist exhaust system (so there is one pipe on each side ). is it possible to remove silencer boxes and cats from underneath without getting EM lights and retarding performance? This should give me 15 horses.

Also, is there a way I can find out the code for my siemens 2015 color sat nav system? just in case my battery fails.


thanks guys

Not really many options available TBH, certainly not normally aspirated. You'll only get 270bhp with either forced induction, or if the dyno lies badly.

Code not required for NCDC, you can disconnect to your hearts content.

Just a oil change works, so many omegas over the years i found that the filters just don't get changed only oil and that really help the go in the car!! if you don't have kids, strip seats/doors cards so one, moves well then!!  :y

What is a maf housing?  I have been reading about the electronic supercharger.  Gives 10 - 15 break.  I wonder if That could be noticed?

You mean N2O or nitrous oxide. Or if you're some baseball capped chav, 'NOSS', from the manufacturer's(Nitrous Oxide Systems) sticker on the bottle.
Nox is one of the emissions.

I'll get off my highhorse now!

So i hear that this can be injected into your air intake as to avoid a complex procedure of direct port injection.  The only problem is tha the gas runs out too quick, yes.  And is it expensive?

and can someone tell me what the maf housing is and why and how much gains?
