C30SE into Omega B?
26. Mar 2011 at 06:15

Hello guys

This is my first post on this forum. I hope for good answers on this question

Now i have an Omega B with Mv6 engine, the fourth engine in this car! I want to try something new and im planning to fit a c30se engine from Omega A 3000.

I need help to get the wiring right, if someone can bring up a good wiring diagram i would be extremely happy Grin

Thank you

Sorry for my bad english, im from norway! hehe
(i didn't figure the search function so i dont know if there is other treads like this.)

Mar 2011 at 06:59 I wouldn't do it from a performance point of view, and from reliability you might be better 30ne.(or ideally a c30ne 'goldtop' with c26ne dual ram system) Try posting on www.totalcarlton.com theres a few guys on there who will be able to advise

But its gonna be c30se, i know its not as mutch power as the mv6, but if its a better engine than the 30XE (less electric, and fewer things that can go wrong) I can try to post om that forum

Mar 2011 at 23:03 someone on here has one this - it's not that difficult. I'm sure he will be along shortly. C30SE has almost exactly the same electrical system, so the wiring is no easier. engine mounts are in a different place, so you need to do some subframe welding, and you will need a new gearbox if it is manual.

I knew you'd get there eventually, what took you so long?! Wink

Do you ever sleep - what with traveling the length and breadth of the nation building unmentionable stuff for work and keeping lots of Omegas Roadworthy?

Got to see any of your V8's yet? Wink

Nice to hear from you Stuart!

So, do i need MS or something like that to fix the electrics? or is it possible to connect the cars electric and the engine electrick together? if anyone knows, it would be alot easier! Tongue
