Omega General Help / Re: Saturday oil change...

I definately suggest you do the spin on-conversion. Easier to fit than new housing and much, much more reliable!

When you say full do you really mean allllll the way from manifolds to rear silencer or just something like Simons catback?

That sounds like an easy install so me, might jump the power before the fuse and place separate fuse to extra WP Possibly going to drive on a race circuit next summer so all the extra cooling is good. Still priority would be to install external oil cooler hence original one has been blocked&bypassed on my new motor :/

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: ABS ecu's , how many types?
« on: 12 November 2014, 21:23:16 »Anyone got a part number for the right one? Or one for sale that will match ?As far as I know you should be able to fit any ABS ecu there if it's from manual non-DBW v6 and has ABS/TC configs inside.

« on: 12 November 2014, 21:20:39 »That might be....
. But then again never seen or even heard the front one
Perhpas Finland doesn't get warm enough for the engine to need additional circulation when it's stopped
really strange still, sounds like a really smart system :/ Wonder if one could retrofit that by jumping power from rad fans power suply

Here in Finland we have had that "circulation pump" as we call it all models starting from first PFLs. But then again never seen or even heard the front one Strange..

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: electric water pump
« on: 12 November 2014, 10:38:23 »Is it on top or lower water hose or where?Is that an FL or vauxie only feature since I've never seen one
My MFL V6 was fitted with one, as I'm sure all V6s are, not sure about the 4 potsI can't see that it's Vx only as it's a simple means of preserving your car engine from cooking itself after a run when ambient temp is high
You got me reallh confused here

You want a video of a fat lad cross threading every bolt?

There's one on the front? Heard only of the one under coolant tank making heating more efficient. If you mean that one then it should run always when power on/car running.

I'd say second lambda is fubar for sure if driven unpluged :/ That trim really seems to be faaaaaaar of the chart, optimal reading is ~14.7.

« on: 11 November 2014, 21:01:59 »You can reach under the car all the way to coolant bridge, at least with my monkey armsIt still looks like a PITA!
Mind you, it's not an issue that I've seen crop up on here regularly so I'll file that in the 'Hope not' folder along with the leaky head gasket!
Its overlooked imo , especially seeing how its hidden at the back
When I had that seal blown coolant ran on both sides of gearbox and there was a small puddle where clutch's hose enters bell housing
