- In video I explain how I tuned the Omega MV6 engine in my Reliant Scimitar going from 211hp to around 275hp with a cold air feed, enlarged throttle bodies, ported heads, home made tubular exhaust manifolds and free flowing exhausts. In addition I show how I fitted a light weight, solid flywheel and an external oil cooler and oil thermostat.
If I only would have my own garage would definitely start working on my Omega 2.5 V6 that I got 3 month ago it needs some work but little by little I’ll bring it back to life
Its not easy working without a garage! I have done lots of car work outside. Keep at it. You can get lots done in tge summer. Good luck with the project.
Maybe a video of the car??
Nice to see another v6. My 3.2 is currently 710hp love these engines!
Thats mental! I assume its force fed. I've long known these were very strong motors, but I never imagine 700hp would be possible... u guess you have some pretty trick internals. I always planned to supercharge mine but the big issue is the gearbox. Is yours FWD? The RWD gearbox just isn't up to much more torque.
710???
Хочу это видеть!
You should try zf 8hp gearbox with stand alone TCU.
@@trolmountain475 I would bloody love to! Fund aren't allowing right now but that's what I want to put in my next project car. (The car is bought and waiting in a safe dry storage until I can afford to do it).
Such a cool gearbox, I cant wait to get my hands on one.
Some good tips here. Nice work on the throttle bodies! That lower inlet manifold porting looks easy & I might have a crack at that tomorrow. I'd always considered removing the air injection ports the next time I had the engine out so it's good to see that someone has done it with some success
Thabks for the comment Ian, great to hear from other owners and enthusiasts. Is it in the omega or another car?? I believe the restrictions are in the 3L but not the 3.2? Which engine do you have?
Is there animating on yours on the Web??
@@lozl Sorry, not ignoring you. UA-cam keeps deleting my comments :O
You can find more info on my build if you go to my channel's "About" section.
@@ianmcass sorry Ian, I had lost of track of who I was talking too. Forgive me. I am familiar with your car. Its awesome. I've had a good look through your website. It's a very impressive car, really nicely finished. I am green with envy, your car is so much smarter than mine. Mine is very rough and ready.
Your exhausts look fantastic! I would like to achieve a finish like yours on my next project.
I notice yours sounds nicer than mine too. A really clean sound. I think this is to do with all 6 cylinders sharing the same pipe. Mine stay separate all the way back.
Its a really smart car man! Love it. Hope to meet you at a show one day.
I had MV6 from 2004 till 2011, it was a good engine, always wanted to increase HP.
Great video, wish I watch it 20 years ago 🤣👍
Thanks for your kind comment. Glad you're enjoying the videos.
I agree it's a really strong engine. I've heard of some crazy power figures being easily achieve with forced induction
The gearbox is the weak link really
Brilliant informative and interesting video again.
Thanks dude. Its been fun making these.
Loving this!
Thanks Daniel, much appreciated. Merry christmas
@@lozl merry Christmas to you too ☺️🎄
Привіт.Гарна робота.
Many thanks :)
Спасибо, очень интересный ролик. Бюджет (по бомжу) то что нужно!
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi! Very nice build, congrats! Im in the middle of pulling out the engine of my mv6 b1. I have kind of similar plans with it. Can I ask what flywheel did you buy?
Thabks buddy, glad you enjoyed the video. And I like the sound of your project. Its such a great engine.
I bought the flywheel second hand, over 10 years.... at that time I believe it had originally been bought from Courtney Sport, the vauxhall tuning shop. I think a friend of mine has been in contact with them and found they no longer supply this part. I imagine it would very hard to find one now. I would be interested to hear of you do get hold of one. It's an awesome lightweight thing.
@@lozl Thank you! Yes, it is a solid engine, i like how relatively simple it is.
Well, I had feeling that my only option is to make a custom one mass flywheel for it😅
@@devbatyo yeah this might be the way to go. A have a friend with the same engine in his scimitar, he fitted a flywheel from something else.... maybe a 4 cylinder red top engine I think.... not sure. He has had lots or teething problems with spacing out the concentric slave cylinder and other things too but I rhino he bow has a good working solution.
Nice video. I guess the bhp figures were at the flywheel? I've pretty much done these mods on my x30xe engine too, but with 4 x g cams. I'll be running it on a standalone ecu and tuning on a dyno in a couple of months, so it will be interesting to compare dyno figures. I'd be very pleased if it's close to yours figures, but was expecting something more like 250. Fingers crossed then! Did you upgrade fuel pump, fuel regulator etc?
Thanks Phil, much appreciated. I'm afraid I never even asked, so I assume it must be at the flywheel, at the wheels would be too much. I have to say I was expecting 230 to 250hp too. I was amazing and so pleased. If anything I had my doubts, but when I got a 13.8s quater mile at Santa Pod it kind of confirms it.
Please let me know how you get on. I'd be very interest to hear. What ECU are you using?
I see you have no videos. Is there anything on your project on the net?? What car is it in?
@@lozl mine is in a vw type 2 early bay. Built for drag racing. Best time so far is 14.2, with a 1.79 60 foot. Only video of mine is on veedubracing channel from earlier this year. The ecu I will be fitting is an EMU Black. I'll also be opening up the inlet plenum a bit, fit an 80mm generic throttle body and make a smoother inlet duct to throttle body. I'll try and post a link

@@philswell18 that's epic! Thats way faster than it should be hahahah, I love it. That's so cool
👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the vid :)
عمل جيد
Thanks :)
what do you think about 2.6 v6 gm engine?
Still a cracking engine. I think the co.pression might be slightly lower than the 2.5 but I'm not sure. And I believe the inlet runners are slightly narrower. So they will have a fraction less power. But I'm sure they're still very capable engines.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found my video.
I am definitely not taking the heads off my MV6 to clean up the ports.... You bugger!
Its well worth it.......
No to be fair you have other more pressing work, but when that's done.....
hi! how work your MAF? at the origin he work for the 6 cylinder so on the video he work for only one side so 3 cylinder no? can you explain me please? ;)
Hi there. I'm not using the original MAF sensor, I am using a MAP sensor its connected to the side of the plenum. In addition I have removed the flaps from inside the plenum so it is all one big volume for all 6 cylinders. It uses an aftermarket ECU and a GM style MAP sensor.
Hope thiss helps. Thanks for the comment
Hopefully I will soon have my scimitar MV6 on my own Rolling Road. Stay tuned.
Great ! Van you says me about thé ecu ? Map ? Tune way ?
@@brice100nx it's a Canems ECU, it's their most basic model. So I'm batch firing the injectors. Wasted spake with the original coil pack. MAP sensor. It's an aftermarket ECU so I har it mapped on a rolling road. It was about 8 hours work and it was well worth it. Its an awesome engine
How did you connect your new cooler to the oil outlet from the engine?
I'm believe I took the old hard lines (that go up the side and back of the block), to a farm engineering place and they had some fittings to Fitz then they made up the hydraulic hoses to go to the thermostat and cooler. It was way overkill, 5000psi, but it worked :)
Hi Loz,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you remember what size the fittings were eg OEM fitting to AN fitting coupling ?
Many thanks,my oil cooler is leaking into the coolant and they no longer make them for a vauxhall omega 2.6 auto so I'm forced to fit AN10 after market type.
All the best great channel BTW.
Lou.
@@louspur3585 you're too kind many thanks.
I'm afraid I can't remember..... it will mean having the car out of action for a whort time, but you might need to take it somewhere for them to identify it. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. It was over 10 years ago when I first did this project :)
@lozl no worries, thanks for the replies anyway 👍🏾
@@louspur3585 if you find the thread on the scimitar forum, I night mention it in there. I also posted (like 20000 words and hundreds of photos) on retro rides, pistons head and a few others. If you Google scimitar MV6 on images, most of them are are my car so this might take you to a build thread
Could you get me that exhaust made for my omega ?
I'm sure it can be done. I haven't looked for a long time to see if the flanges are still available though. They would of course have to be a very different shape to fit the omega
So I will buy a Honda civic from the old compact ones.I have an opel omega with the same engine but it's in some trouble so it cannot be driven on road I'll take out the nine and put it in the Honda then tune the crap out of it
Might convert the Honda to rear wheel drive
Thanks for the comment. It seems I've only just found a load of comments I haven't replied to...
That sounds wicked. Its hard to do a RWD conversion, but oh so rewarding!
Hello mate! Really nice job !!!
Can i contact you on any platform (Facebook,instagram viber or something else)
Thanka for the comment :) much appreciated.
I haven't really got an email I can give out yet. But I will have in the next month or so. I've been making quite a bit of noise on the DIY Dyno group on Facebook recently you might find me that way
What we're you wanting to talk about? Have you got an x30xe?
