I guess Mats can answer this.

Oh yeah Matfo, the polite Mats I mean. :lol:
As far as I know it only fits the SPICA unit.
Isn't it another one when there is power steering?
If so I don't think it will fit.

I guess you have figured it out but: The reason for the different distance between the holes in the flywheel and crank are that they only should fit in one way. :) I used a 75 3,0 flywheel on my Q4 engine and then I just needed new bolts. The Q4 bolts was to short due to thicker material in the 75 f...

Jarmo has answered my e-mail immediately!! Seems like a very nice guy, says that his kit fits spica racks which according to him is what the vast majority of GTV 2.0s should have from the factory. Will post details soon. Sweden has just gained my utmost respect. :wink: X Ok, nice! The conversion is...

Beninca's headers are 1.7" ID primaries. http://www.alfapower.nu/gallery/album416/aam About AUS$2K. Larry Jr. also did headers, not sure if he is anymore. Price was US$1K + 164LS/Q headers. Either way, not cheap at all. Thanks for the link to the picture of the headers. There where also a coup...

You can get from a few places: Beninca Motors (Australia) Glenwood Motors (South Africa) Or you can make your own by modifying the Q4 manifolds. Requires lots of modification, but the flange part is usable as well as the collector. Thanks, now I have mailed them both. Hopefully I get answers soon. ...

Exhaust manifolds for 24v in GTV6

I'm currently conversing an Alfa 164 Q4 engine to fit my GTV6. My first plan was to use the Q4 manifolds but it seems more or less impossible to modify them to fit. :( On my 2,5 engine I have a pair of SZ manifolds and I have read that someone modified those to fit on a 24v engine. First of all I do...
