Omega General Help / Re: Bigger, faster, larger...

Thanks for the answer.

For a few hours hard googling, looking at flow charts, adapter sized eg.. I can confirm that the 530d turbo is bolt on, exept for the oil tubes eg.. I'm going to test one to check out what it will do for my omega..

Omega General Help / Bigger, faster, larger...

« on: 01 September 2011, 21:00:16 »

Hi!

I'm rebuilding a 2.5 TD engine with almost everything brand new. But I'm looking for a bigger turbo. Is there any turbo that fits right on the stock manifold ?
I'm having a go on fmic and new exhaust as well.
I've heard rumors that the E39 -01 530d turbo fits bolt on... is this true ?

Thanks for the help

If so I'd start with a new sensor rom Vauxhall.

I could start off with that.

Bah, I bought this car because of a friend works at BMW. Cheap parts.

Orginal GM from Vauxhall (Opel) here costs £90.
3rd party is £40.

Thanks for quick reply!

Omega General Help / Water temp gauge problem

« on: 05 April 2011, 11:41:27 »

I have this Omega B 2.5TD (BMW Engine) and the water temp gauge in the instrument panel seems to have lost its mind. It reports 100C.

I have installed a external water temp sensor that reports 78C under normal driving and 82-85C under hard driving.

As my gauge starts at 80C, is this the correct gauge for my car ? (My car is kind of modified, with a engine from a E36 325 TDS)

My thermostat is 80C and I suppose it would be normal for a diesel car to have a gauge maybe starting at 70C ?
