Omega General Help / Re: Ultimate V6, has anyone actually built it?

« on: 22 December 2016, 22:00:30 »

I'm thinking about it just need a 3.2 short motor.got the rest. 
John.

I'm seriously considering it as it's going into a classic Opel. Long term I'd love throttle bodies. But that's ££££

Omega General Help / Ultimate V6, has anyone actually built it?

Im new to this V6 game but there seems to be alot of talk about swapping heads manifolds and the like to produce the 'Ultimate V6'

Is there a reason nobody has actually put the suggested complete setup together? or have i just missed it?
It seems parts would be be relativity easy to source and at a decent price are the power gains and effort just not worth it?

To say I'm cocking the whole thing seems harsh. I understand that most NA engines are designed with some back pressure requirements . Just thought I'd ask.

Indeed. Lots has been said elsewhere (I've caused most of the threads!) but the ultimate is (Quoting from MarksDTM)

3.2 inlet with injectors or fit 3.0 and the FPR from a 2.6/3.2 (slight increased rail pressure, worth having as it costs nothing)
3.2/3.0 inlet divider plate
2.5/2.6 heads which must be ported to match the inlet divider (2.5/2.6 heads have smaller ports than the 3.0/3.2) and 3.0/3.2 exhaust valves (sodium filled)
3.0 cams
3.2 bottom end
2.6/3.2 exhaust manifolds
2.5/3.0 front pipes and cats
3.0 electronics including DIS pack ecu etc with EGR blanked/removed and SAI removed


So as you can see, OP, from the above witha  couple of 'broke' 2.5 and 3.0/3.2s you could make yourself a very nice engine for very little, potentially 

Is there much gain by removing the cats? as i wont need them with the age of the car being 1968

Hmm Sounds like good news ish.
The 3.0 manual sounds like a good start to get it on the road and then collect parts as i go.
It all seems very simple, Are they all 'plug and play' type swaps? or are remaps required along the way to keep it running?
Did i read something about the 2.5 ECU being used?
Does the 3.0 gearbox fit the 3.2?
What HP/torque can the gearbox/prop/shafts take?
Is there a thread of the 'ultimate v6' that has been built?

Sorry for all the questions

Omega General Help / Doner Car

Hi

I'm looking for a 3.2 preferably manual Omega doner car or engine and all the gubbins to go with it for my Opel Rekord C Coupe project.

I seen a rough looking one go for £510 last weekend.

Is this the going price for a 120,000 mile Omega?
How often do they come up?

Note: Im not yet in a position to buy but looking to see what i need to save up.
