Just acquired my dads 3.2 mv6 so going to sell my 3.2 elite.
So ive decided going to doo as much as can without breaking bank hahah N/a improving gas in and out of engine, mapping and fuelling.
not after big gains just little improvements already capable car.
1.anyone fitting tubular manifolds to a RHD v6 omega? if so where did you purchase them or has anyone ever modified ford Probe ones to fit?
2.anyone fitted 2.5/3.0 single cat downpipes to a 3.2 how do you feel it ran afterwards
3. anyone had their 3.2 remapped ? motorsport developments said they can do it not a huge gain 13bhp but said should make it a lot smoother? anyone got any thoughts on remaps?
4. anyone fitted 4bar reg in conjunction with a remap and or other mods
5. Mantzle germany list a gearbox map for ecu anyone had this fitted??
6. finally any benefit in swapping my Exh J cams for Exh A cams. dont want G as shift power to far up but unsure as to wether J or A are better for midrange
cheers in advance to all comments

Six things which are a waste of time and money.
Fit a manual box and call it done :y

Have done the 3.0L downpipes, to stop the 420 codes.
The cams will give a bit acceleration,.
As for a manual gearbox, you only have two feet. ;D

Bear in mind that the 3.2 runs at 3.8 bar anyway.
Not that upping the fuel pressure ever gains anything anyway.

someone whos post is a waste of time.. nothing constructive to say dont say anything simple
next youll be saying ported heads wont do anything either
did i ask about a manual box no.
upping fuel pressure if mapped to suit can alleviate flat spots just wanting to know has anyone had it done
think ill do remap, 3.0 downpipes with single cats, stainless mandrel bent cat back exhaust and go from there..
should see something at least main bottleneck in manifolds i know but as one of most costly things leave that till last

did you notice any difference with 3.0 downpipes??
does anyone know for midrange torque what cams on exhaust are best to compliment the G inlet cams.... F,E,J,A

Jimbob had 3.0 downpipes which I fitted to his car, difficult to comment regarding gains as the ones they replaced were tired but clearly, they appear less restrictive.
Tubular manifolds are something I have not seen done in the Uk as they have never been available to buy off the shelf but, I would expect some gains with these as the standard setup is quite a compromise.
Standard fuel rail is 3.7Bar from memory so such a small increase to 4, even with tuning, is not going to do a great deal to help any flat spots you might see.
Some potential with mix and match cams.

100% fit the A cams along with the G cams, will feel a lot better midrange and top end....
Gasflowing the heads and mapping to suit, will get good gains... 12-13BHP doesn't sound a lot, but it can change the way the car feels under acceleration and will be smoother. Duno about the gearbox remap...
Tubular manifolds will help with gasflow, but better to fit an X pipe or 2 into 1 pipe and single exit pipe instead of the two pipes that will be unbalanced, the X pipe balances the exiting gasses and will make a big difference... It did my 2.5 :y make sure the pipe work is minimum 3" pipes from Y piece, otherwise it will strangle the exiting gasses and create unwanted backpressure....
Cant hurt fitting the 4 bar FPR but the ECU will restrict the fuelling, unless the remap can be programmed to suit the FPR.....
