A huge amount of work Luiz. The low profile tyres give some inclination about the hidden power!
How long did this build take you?

[luizvivas]

Davies, the state where I live (Minas Gerais) is quite hilly and the roads winding. The 225-35R20 tires greatly increased cornering stability. My 6-cylinder turbo project started in 2015, when I bought the exhaust manifold. In the following months I continued to buy the pieces without haste. At the beginning of 2018, I finally met a friend mechanic who was preparing the engine of my previous car (between 2000 and 2004 I had another car, a VW 4-cylinder turbo engine). This professional indicated me some missing parts: programmable ECU, injectors, fuel pump and finally, in April / 2018 he started the preparation. There were some unforeseen events, the main one being the "tailor-made" exhaust manifold, which had to be redone 2 times. As I was not rushing to finish the job, he worked calmly and Omega was ready in March / 2019.

Dear friends,
 
I have been looking for the rear spoiler of the Omega GSI for a long time, but it is very difficult to find. I found a manufacturer around here, which made a very similar customized spoiler in fiberglass.

I canceled my subscription to Photobucket. I didn't adapt to it. I found a local website to host my photos:

As I am a big fan of car customization, below another modification. I never understood a car like this without lighting on the doors or the floor:

The chosen hosting site is down. Now with One Drive I hope it won't happen again. Sorry.

Hello everyone! Talking to the engine preparer, he told me that I would only gain from the change below:

K&N inbox air filter removed:



New K&N conical air filter:

You will need to block that cone off from the heat of the engine bay with a heat shield and get a cold air feed to it or you will lose power as the original setup is not all that bad👍

The watercooler's cooling system is very efficient. Apparently the air temperature at the intake hasn't changed, but I'm going to look at how to create a heat barrier. Thanks.

Hello everyone!
I stopped following the forum, because 3 months ago my wife and I bought another car (pocket rocket 2006 FIAT Palio 1.8R). Its restoration, after years of neglect by the former owners, is taking up a lot of my time and money. However, I didn't forget my Omega. After searching the internet without success, with the help of a friend who owns a garage near my house, we designed a heat shield for the K&N air filter, so the HX35 turbine only sucks in cold air.



HEAT SHIELD

Excellent just what you need although your charge cooler looks the business 👍 but.....  every bit helps😎

[luizvivas]

I totally agree with you. 

[Rangie]

A lot of work & a fantastic looking vehicle 👍

[luizvivas]

Thanks.

Hello everyone! After rectifying the head and installing a steel gasket to support the turbo, I decided to change the color of the engine cover, the support for the coils and also the brake calipers to red. Yesterday, I celebrated 18 years of Omega 3000. One day, I hope to pass it on to my future grandson.
