Oh Lordy. Tunnies going to love this. ;D

V6's suck!  ;D

Fear not Tunnie, the connection between your four pot and the VXR lump is limited to little more than the valve and cylinder count.

Of course, taking the same approach, we could consider the 2.8 V6 twin scroll turbo which is available with 325bhp  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I suspect I own the vehicle with the most horse power
If only it didn't need Hornby track ;D

Besides, you know the best vehicle you look after, even if its not Thwaites....

2500bhp of shaft horse power at 750rpm and nearly 24,000nm of torque cant be wrong!

just been trying something with 3200BHP for short bursts, which is truly frightening even by my standards. Even with 30tonnes.

just wish I could say what it was...

There is an Omega in my area that appears on another forum and there are a couple of shots of it on the rolling road on 8/1/12 putting out around 245 bhp. I know this guy personally and it's work in progress to increase the engines performance to the max.Think the car was originally an ex plod 3.2 manual and even without the engine mods I would love to have this car sitting on my drive. :y

That will be Jay or X3 OXE as he is known on here, the stats from the RR were 244.5bhp and 222.7ft-lbs of torque

Probably a lot lighter to! although I suspect nowhere near the torque output.  :y

He's the Mod/Admin on Omega Owners Network, surely?

@ O/P - my 2.5 V6 (1998 PFL) ran at 215 bhp on the R/R with ABS in 2008. Don't know if others with same engine run more.

Seems to me owners should be dealing with rear wheel horsepower personally. Leave the flywheel figures to the factory's.

Nice job on the ex plod.  :y

Yep run 244.5 @ the fly and 212 odd at the wheels.

Spec has changed a bit though, I also had to remove the unichip i got off one of elitepetes breakers after finding out it had a golf vr6 map on it lol.

Will be trying for around 280 next. Cams, headwork and either a map or custom management, then throttle bodies last thing for possibly 300 or so, see how it goes I guess

Cheers

Historically - Omega (GLS trim spec iirc) with Lotus Carlton running gear.Built by Omegatoy,but no longer owned by him. I believe it lives on somewhere in Cambridgeshire. :-\
None spring to mind currently which have had serious work done on the engine for more power.

have a couple of pics of this now!!! found them!! but not sure how to post on here, who can???
