Looked at one today and the bloke who is selling it says its got a 3.2 engine in it, can this be :question
-
Its only about 6% increase on a 3 litre could that come from being bored out?
-
Dunno matey.... Did the quickest of quick googles and nothing matched but, no doubt, someone will know for sure... :y

i thought the senator was a 3.0 litre
:-/ :-/

It is a 3 litre, but he says it has had a police spec engine fitted to it at a later date :-/

If you buy it mate, make sure the alteration, ie engine size and engine numbers match the vehicle reg document, if its had another engine all the details should be recorder on the doc.

Just switched my brain on and disproved my rebore theory, at +60 it would only come out at 3063cc.

No one noticed that obvious mistake ;D ;D most brains switch off at this time of night, unless, of course, you drive for a living

:-/3.3 rings a bell but that might be in my Cresta (frothy man) days. Try checking engine or block numbers. Also GSI something or other comes to mind.

That brings back memories, leather bench seats etc, what a car.

A load of 13ollocks. Police had exactly the same engine spec as Joe Public had .. same as Omegas.

Which is why they were a little pi$$ed when VX released the Lotus Carlton that had an official top speed of 167MPH and could easily out accelerate them......

....... the Lotus Carlton that had an official top speed of 167MPH and ......
Isn't 174mph? Something like that, I know it's faster than 167mph
-
There are the rarest of rare 3.6 ones which were a conversion carried out by some dealers.....I think hes talking cobblers.

Sorry, think I transposed it, It's 176MPH officially and unofficially I think someone has pushed one beyond 180....

No such thing, just a myth the same as police spec Omegas.

Acutally the rarest of the rare are the 4.0 24v Senators.....

It's probably the same one as I know of & AFAIK that engine set off in a European Opel.
-
There are just 2, 4.0 24v Senators in the UK.
These were only ever done as Irmscher specials in Europe with a hefty price tag.
Power was upped from the standard 204bhp/199lb/ft to approx 280bhp and 260lb/ft.
There were some 3.0 12v engines modified to 3.6, also done by Irmscher. These were most desirable in the Opel Monza. As Mark says, very very rare.
3.2 litre... load of twaddle from some who does not know the cars.
-
okay, now being devils advocate......
Isnt it possible he doesnt know what he is talking about but it still has a 3.2 engine.....perhaps an unofficial swap by a garage or private owner from a 3.2 omega. Would an omega lump fit in a senny... :-/
Not agreeing or disagreeing just looking for a way that both could be right, though goodness knows why it would be done...

Its a bit long, but here a 4,0l Omega B V8 Hockenheim Ring

This is what happens when you try to tame the 4,0l Senator :y

Perhaps its a 3.6 just he doesnt know :-/
Maybe worth getting engine number.....to see what you can find out about it.....presumably Irmscher kept records of engines they modified :-/

A lot of effort for a car that is 99.9% certain of being a 3.0 litre.

Asked him again today and he still says its a 3.2 which has now also been chipped ::) I aked him if the engine that had been fitted was a 12 or 24 valve, oh no he said its a six cylinder :o So he obviously doesn't know what he is talking about :-/ Regardless of what it is i am going to have it if all the paperwork ties up because the bodywork is in very good condition, just some attention to the rear arches required. As far as i'm concerned it is a 1990 3.0 litre 12 valve manual :y

That went off the clock quickly. I wonder what his instant mpg would've said? 8-)
