Finding a dyno.

Opel Omega B OPC is ready to be dyno'ed already, so it is high time to find a nice one with good price as I'm still student. So to not make you think that I'm dead or something, just this short post to remind you :D Right now, my Opel is covered in a snow, on summer tires and I guess it's first drive will be to dyno. So...let's hope there won't be much snow as I don't have winter or all year round tires for a change. I also want to avoid salt on roads. So just a short post today, I'm going now to start seriously looking for a right dyno near me ;) See you soon!

How I regenerated engine of my car without parting it apart.

So here is long waited episode of my Aristos Garage show about regenerating engine without need of parting it apart. All extra info that you need to do this process you will find on blog post to which I've put link in the description of this video.

This is it. Now I'm sure my car's engine is protected and is running well. I am also glad that I've done it before snow and very low temperatures came. Next step is preparing it for dyno and...going to dyno of course :) About preparations of cars to dyno, I want to make different episode of Aristos Garage when I will have a car with forced induction, so it will be for everyone as you will simply skip steps for forced induction cars if you have naturally aspirated engine. For sure I will take videos from dyno and then we will know how much power X30XE makes and how much is lacking, or not, or how much more than stock it has already. Wish me at least those 208hp/211PS because I don't feel like modyfing this engine a lot ;) 

That's it for now! See you in next post and don't forget to subscribe to my Aristos Garage channel for more automotive videos! 

New Year 2016 goals and some info!

So my Opel is finally finished when it comes to engine regeneration "without opening patient". It recived all stuff that I've mentioned before, got its engine cleaned outside, flushed inside, have new oil and oil filter, engine regenerator, ceramizer, two fuel additions and new fuel filter. Video of whole process is coming soon on my channel Aristos Garage, so don't forget to click this link:

and subscribe so you will get it quickier than here!
Also I want to bring you some of my goals for this year which hopefully I will achieve:

-Going to dyno with my car and checking its real power
-Complete anti rust conservation of whole car's underbody.
-Complete exhaust change
-Fixing right side of sound system and eventually changing all speakers in doors from both sides.
-Soundproofing doors
-Changing door panels into plack leather ones together with locks and painting wooden trim silver.
-Installing front McPherson strut bar
-Changing all rubber elements of suspension into polyurethane replacements
-Installing new, lowering springs -35mm and possibly new gas shocks.

That's all that seems possible for me now. However I have much more plans but if I achieve these above, my car will for sure sound way better by itself, by music and will have better handling and look due to suspension mods. We will see what new 2016 year will bring but I'm very positive about it!
For now, I want to wish you all Happy New Year!!! And wish you  achieve all your goals for 2016 and to your dreams come true! Let's make this year awesome ;)

A little bit of chemistry.

I've just completed collecting everything needed to make engine of my car running good as it is only possible. This will give me certainty that when I will go on dyno to check car's power, nothing wrong will happen and engine will be closer to its specification when it was new.

So going from the left to the right, aside Ceratec empty box, we have:

-Bosch fuel filter with new plastic clasps for fuel lines.

-STP Engine Regenerator

-Liqui Moly Speed fuel addition

-Liqui Moly Ceratec ceramizer 

-Genuine GM Motor Oil 10W-40

-STP Formula for Gasoline Engines 

-Filtron Oil Filter

-K2 engine cleaner for removing dirt 

Beside these, I'm going also to use engine flush which I will show you all together with the rest of specifics and parts in new episode of my automotive YouTube channel Aristos Garage.

Good news and a nice surprise.

Last Tuesday my car had its electronics diagnosed. Results? Only 2 errors, both old,
both caused by works that we have done before. As the car has electronics in a good state and no errors or potential damages that need to be fixed were found, next step is preparing its engine for dyno. This means some restoration which I will show you after I got all needed things. Below photo of print from diagnostic service:

We got errors number 19 (wrong signal of engine RPMs) and 145 (wrong signal from immobiliser). And that's it :D Everything is working fine, I'm going to collect all things I need and make a video of basic actions you should take if you want to make your engine running better! ;) So stay tuned for more. See you!

A tiny thing fixed and further plans.

So today very short post as I wanted to tell you that finally my car has working oryginal auto alarm system. Due to old battery in key pilot, not only I wasn't able to lock the car automatically but also alarm wasn't going into stand-by mode. Changing batter helped and it shown car's real auto alarm. Oryginal with small "horn" like siren which sounds like someone is honking. Together with this blinkers are flashing. I'm glad that everything about is working well and that I have oryginal auto alarm system.
So now, my next goal is to fix some cables with front seats as they got cutted wiring and due to taking old seats out from the car, I got airbag lamp on when starting up the car. So to turn it off, first i need to deal with front seats wiring and then I will take my car to someone who will delete all errors trough OBDII interface and also we will find out if engine is working 100% properly. If not, then we will start doing our best to bring it to its top condition and I will probably take my car on the dyno after it to see if it still has those 208hp under the hood.

Honking problem.

So since I've bought my Opel Omega B, it never honked...even once. Finally I decided to change it. After taking off horns, which were oryginal Hella two tones, together with my dad we found out that they are so dirty and rusty, that they won't work at all. One honked a tiny bit later, but the only place where they should end up was junk. I bought one from my mate, used and working, and later my dad found second with lower tone on a junkyard.
We've put them together and had finally completed horn:

After cleaning then and painting with flat black paint, they finally looked well:

 

Yet, they were working but not on the car. What was the reason? Broken electrical installation. So it had to be completely changed into new one, with new, thick cables and put in a way that it won't catch fire, melt or simply rub on anything. After this operation, car got its horn back and I must say that oryginal Hella two tones for Omega B sound great.
