Omega General Help / Re: Are there any mobile 2.2DTi mechanics on here ?

« on: 26 January 2015, 01:20:42 »

I am not sure if these models have a priming pump. hope someone corrects me.

If it does i would first check the pressure to main rotary pump.

I have just checked on Autodata that the 'Fuel main pump delivery pressure' should be 16bar

Also a side not i am a mobile mechanic and am heavily involved and active members with other car clubs and forums.

the vin plate on your car will tell you the max front/rear axle weight. half these and you will know what the manufacturer indents on each corner. make sure your tyres match or exceeds these weights.

« on: 20 April 2014, 22:25:02 »

speak to any race engine builder they will say that the MAX you cab get on a normally aspirated engine in 100BHP per ltr.

So a 2.6 should be no more than 260BHP (at a bloody hard push) but yes will require a lot of work at a cost of at least a couple of grand.

Some how I do not think the police will do that.

Police spec cars use same engines as road cars but the cars are lightened. maybe a slight remap but thats all.
