Totally dumb question, but does the 'M' stand for motorsport or what in the MV6 title? (no laughing at the back either ;D)
-
Motorsport V6.....
-
Just as I thought then :y Thanks - this forum is great :D
-
I thought it stood for....Much-faster :P
-
could stand for mega ,massive,marveless,mighty quick car,i know the last ones three words but does sound good ;D ;D ;D

Stoke is MASSIVE mate ;) and so are MV6's ;D

I got asked that in a petrol station in Derby about two weeks after buying my last MV6 and couldn't tell the bloke. I asked around but no-one could tell me for definite but I assumed Motorsport.
Having said that, I always liked MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmV6!!
-
;D just one of them annoying things aint it, you think you know but dont tell anyone incase your wrong and look like a fool..... is the mv6 engine the same as the 3.0 v6 installed in the elite etc?
-
Yes. Same engine, slightly suspension set up, and "real" MV6's have a proper gearbox! ;)

Yes, the one's without that silly extra pedal!!! ;D

Im really hoping you mean that manuals are cool, cos my manual MV6 spot-on, just a real shame the the original owner did'nt invest in the limited slip diff when he purchased it new. Still 225 horses at the rear wheels is good, LSD or not.

What have you done to get 225bhp?
-
Oh yes... "driver involvement pack" is the way to go! :D
You also don't have to worry about going out one day and wondering if you will end the day searching for the remains of your thrust washer in the sump! ;)

Silly extra pedals, some silly stick in the middle? I don't think so ;D

CAT back bastruck group N exhaust, panel filter and an enlarged throttle body. dyno'd last year without the throttle body. did 218 first run and 225 second after ajustment.

Have you tried chipping to improve further?
-
Had the car since 60,000 miles and has full Vx history, spared no expense. Now done 129,000 still with full and extensive history. she is also the other lady in my life i you had'nt already guessed.
-
Mate of mine had a chip done on an MV6 similar to mine and reported 7hp difference for nearly 300 quid. so no not really.
-
Thats an expensive chip. Investigate others ;)
-
What are these chips like that Mtek gets, do they actually improve the performance a great deal? do they also improve economy when driven careful?? ;D
-
Looking at installing a APEXi air/fuel controller and set it up according to the car not what the chip thinks it should be....

I think a decent chip would be a better bet. Replacing the map in the stock ECU is a better bet than trying to fool it by manipulating the inputs. Besides, a chip will give you a new ignition and fuelling map, and to get any improvement out of a normally aspirated engine you need to optimise both.
As long as the map in the chip has been developed properly you've only got the last couple of horsepower to gain from mapping the car individually.

Power Engineering in Uxbridge, west london do a superchips chip where they re-map the ecu whilst playing with the engine on a rolling road to get things spot on....... is this the best way to go about it? Personally im happy with the standard horses but if its good and people want it done that way I think the prices started at £225 for the chip and rolling road tuning...... going back to my corrado days tho so might be more expensive now?

That sounds like a reasonable deal for a rolling road tune. Depends how long they spend on it on the day, of course, but if they're kitted out to modify the maps on the fly on the rollers and then burn you a chip with the new maps on, that seems reasonable value. It's certainly in the same ballpark to what I would expect to be charged if I turned up with a mappable ECU, although it won't be a complete re-map, just a tweak here and there.
I decided to be difficult and spent the money on a wideband Lambda sensor so I can tune on the road :y
As to how much difference it makes, I don't know as I've never driven a chipped Omega. As with all natasp engines, there's no magic boost value that can be turned up so you're really limited to improving bits of the OEM map that are lacking. Others have said it makes a worthwhile difference, however.
