and after 1 hour the engine is out

Then we took out air con compressor because there wasn't enough space in Feroza,EGR was disabled are removed,made service ,oil breathers disabled and we placed an oil catch tank.

So 1st problem that appeared was the flywheel we need one for manual gearbox after one week of searching we found one of c20xe engine,second problem that appeared was the missmatch of bolting the gearbox on the engine so we cutted it and weld it ;D

Hi :) keep the updates coming, :y

Hiya interesting! Welcome to the forum :y
-
Looks quite big job, best of luck and welcome to OOF :y
-
That is some project!
Welcome to the forum.
When you say"disabled breathers", is that going to create problems with the cam cover gaskets? The breathers are an important part of the V6 under normal conditions.
Will the four wheel drive transfer box cope with the torque?
Keep the pictures coming. An interesting project :y
-
Thank you all guys!! :y
Varche I disabled the black plastic thing that sends oil vapors in front of TB flies and into the plenum I did not close the entire system because it would blow the cover gaskets as you said (btw when I bought the omega these lines where stucked by oil and dirt so gaskets where blown and I had to replace them)now everything is clean once for all :) :) :) I will take a photo to see what I did.
About gearbox yeap it will handle it(it's from Daihatsu Rocky) but I have some doubts about clutch :-\ Future will show.. u can never know for something that never made before! :)
Here is a vid,I took it today :D first test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iLjxxLbVls

Hi and welcome to OOF :y
Keep the updates coming very interesting 8)

Great stuff.
So what clutch have you used?
-
Well I sent the flywheel to Athens in a workshop that makes custom clutch plates and discs and he made one for me with 228mm diameter that fits Rockys clutch shaft..if that one fails i have to send him again the flywheel so he can make one upgraded like 6pad or 4pad. :y
Question:In the back of the plenum there is something like TB fly that runs with vacuum any idea why is that for?I am thinking of deleting it also! :D

Hi Riko
Don't know the answer to your question but if you put the question and any others in general help then more people will see it.
It might also be good to put your pictures in a new thread in the gallery. Again more people will see the gallery.
Thanks for the clutch answer :y

Hey Varche
Np about clutch!I will start a new thread in the gallery section thx!I found about second fly...it's for the "dual ram" thing so I will delete it as the one before main TB flies. My opinion about engines is the simpler=the better!
