ar there is always people to put downers on situations, the bottom end on the v6 will be fine, and its about being different rather then being the same as everyone else, people do more stupid things to other engines then me, so asking 45bhp more out of mine should'nt be to hard, need to live a little peeps 

Agreed

Not wrong with that.

Just trying to help with a more effective approach is all, where's the downer?

As said, most interested in this. Please keep us informed.

More gain and more cost effective maybe

To me, this is a really worthwhile project. Pricey, and engines are difficult to find. But 350bhp from a stock ls1 with almost endless tuning possibilitys with a v8 barbel.
But each to their own as they say.

I do like the v8 conversions, but even just looking at that engine bay just puts me off lol, where would you start if you wanted to change something, but still a nice conversion if you got the money, but i think ill stay with the v6

No cam belt. Very small cam chain. Bomb proof as an engine gets with no cam cover seal issues, bullet proof bottom end, 50k (?) plug life accessed from the side admittedly but no cable tray in the way and well away from scuttle water leaks. Far easier to work on than a v6 by miles.
Not cheap, but better and more reliable results. Biggest concern is clearing the steering box exhaust manifold interface. But as you see, doable.

maybe you should go and buy yourself a v8 then, i love how i post a question about my car to see if i can get it re-maped and a few people are basically putting me down, well i dont see ANYone else doing ANYthing to their omega's so its more then some, the v6 is getting tuned and thats that, if i want a v8 ill buy a car that comes with one from factory, but thanks anyway

Tbh mate,imo its long been established that the v6 isnt particularily well suited to tuning. Afaik no-one has ever managed to get that much more power from one over the standard setup,even when spending quite a lot of money.

You have only been given the extensive experience and opinion of members

Personally, if I wanted something exceptionally fast I wouldn't start with an Omega... near on 2 Tonnes of car isn't going to be lightening quick without moving away from the standard power plant.

I wish you the best of luck in your quest for more horses and, I'm sure I speak for many here, if you manage to genuinely get a big power increase for sensible money we'd be interested

i will take in fair coments about the tuning and i understand there are people with experience on here, but i never once said i wanted a car that would be exstreamly quick, i said i want a fast omega, being that i am only 20 so i cant afford that much (car wise) i have a near 200bhp track corsa b which would easily beat the omega but i said i want 260bhp out of the v6 and i will get it, you dont no untill you try and thats what im gunna do.

I don't see anyone being put down here. You've shared your ideas, others have shared theirs. Exactly what a discussion forum is all about.

We'll be interested in how you get on. One of the reasons for the sceptical approach to tuning the V6 is that not many have trod that path, and there are lots of tales of woe of relatively modest power increases causing lots of hassle. It will be great if you come up with some fresh data that debunks the V6 tuning myths.

Best of luck again then

Anything is possible with enough money, but experience tells us that you will need to spend a lot of money to get more than 20% power gains from a NA V6 engine

since i posted this tho i have had a few people saying it ent gunna happen or well your gunna need to spend alot to get anywhere, but like you said not many people go down that road and maybe the people that have tryed havent done the best mods or the right mods, im not saying your wrong but, i have luckily got quite a few contacts that have a wide range of tuning and i get good discount, so hopefully wont be paying out outrages prices, so i personally do think there is lots of power there,, think about it tho 3.0lv6 210bhp standard ent much at all, vauxhall put that engine right down for realiablity.

Maybe its better we should all lie? Yeah go ahead, spend a fortune in persute of the impossible, knock your self out. Nobody wants to see you waiste money, hence the opinions.

I tell you what. You show us a before and after increase of 50bhp and I'll personally give you £100 of my own money. Provided...

It's naturally aspirated.
Before and after road tests are on the same dyno.
And it lasts 10k without bottom end failure with the same sealed ecu as the dyno run.

It ain't gona happen. But if it does, I'll be the first to shake your hand mate.
