Exhaust manifold/turbo, I believe the angle of dangle on the exhaust down pipe wont bolt up with Omega Turbo.........

i there hall can you take the engine out with out taking gearbox out and how hard is the job to do as i have never dun one befor .dun lods of car engines and got hall the tools to do the job

Everything should fit except the turbo/air-con pump/engine mounts/flywheel andoil sump. if it is an auto note which way around the flywheel is as they will go on back-to-front rendering the crank sensor useless.

Starter/alternator/injectors/wiring loom and fuel pump are all the same, pump is not coded and the reference injector (one with the wire on it)does not have to be changed.

The manual box does not have a converter. there are 8 bolts securing the gearbox to bell housing.

thanks for the reply

Markowl, you will also have to undo the bolts holding the clutch slave cylinder to the bellhousing.

To allow the clutch fork to disengage (its a pull clutch not a push clutch as most are) you may also have to rotate the cross-shaft by hand if it will not disengage.....

You will need to swap the electronic gubbins from the RR injection pump onto the Omega pump. Have a word with tonyyzf. He has done a similar transfer.

you do not need to transfer the electronics from the range rover pump both range rover and vauxhall omega use the same pump 994!

You are right the pump is the same, but the electronic bit on the top is different and not compatable with the P38 engine ECU.

thanks to hevery one for the info i have looked at chapter 12 page 5 and on rave it says to undo the bolts holding the clutch slave cylinder to the bellhousing. To allow the clutch fork to disengage . is it hard to get the clutch fork to reingage back in .the replasment engine came out of a outo and mine is a manuel so i will have to change the flywwheel and clutchplate hop to get the engine out tomorow change hall the bits i need to change over and get it back in with no borther.

seanmull · Mar 31, 2011

it is easy to get the fork back in place by fitting the bell housing to the engine without the gearbox. also when removing the engine leave the bell housing on the engine

markowl · Mar 31, 2011
