Yo, Mats, Us continental dudes work with cc/min injector ratings. The NA crowd goes by lbs/hr. Of course OURS is the correct way (heh!) since they have to assume juice specific weight! Its more convenient for them because the formula giving injector sizing from power and BSFC is also in lbs/hr. You ...

Oh,I just remembered something. Sometime ago this Alfa nut here (NOT me!) succeeded in stuffing an Opel 16v head on his Alfa block. I have no details, but from what I've heard it wasn't easy.
Speaking of Frankenstein motors,this is a thought with enough potential don't you think?

Brian, you villain!! Ready to commit sacrilege! You snail lovers will stop at nothing! You're the kind of people who'd put sunglasses and lipstick on the Mona Lisa, hahah! You are -to my knowledge the FIRST....pervert (!!!)ever to even THINK of turbocharging the classic AR 16valver! Heheh!,are you b...

MD !!! Congrats,man!! "Rocking-horse shit!!" Hahahah! What a laugh, I haven't heard that one before,hahah! Ok, back to business now, the AD 16v 2liter was first used in the racing 116 (both coupe and 4-door) from 1972 on. AFAIK there is a complete engine for sale in Belgium right now, one ...

There is no comparing 105 vs 116 performance. With the same power and driver quality, the 116 will beat 105's left,right and center, owing to better balance, suspension etc. There is NO way a car taking corners on three wheels will do it quicker than one on four! Suspension improvements are notable ...

Murray,
I went through the same questions years ago. If you want a short answer list, read Micke's pointers twice!

Hi guys, Everything is ok with my laptop,so I'm...open for business,again. Sorry for the trouble. I have to correct one mistake in my post about the 16v GTA 1300, total price for the 3 cars the man bought is 270,000Euros not 90,000 as I wrote (3 years into the Euro money system and I still mess up, ...

Yeah Mats, right!. The only thing that I backed up is the BOOK!!!(Thank God!). :cry: Jim K. PS: This is as good a site as any, to tell you guys what I did last Saturday: This rich guy here,has bought 1 (1970) GTAm, 1 GTA1600 and 1 race GTA1300 16V (!!!) for a total of 90K Euros. This last one they c...

Hi everybody, my laptop at home went 'belly-up' yesterday, so if anyone is trying to send me something, please use my office address: dkartalamakis@haicorp.com I will let you know when you can revert to the jkv6... again. Thanks for the use of this space for the contingency! Regards, Jim K. PS: Sinc...

Hi guys, On the subject of preload, the minimum should be used,in order to make sure that there is uniformity during the transition between on and off lock operation and the diff will positively limit slip when one wheel is totally slipping. THIS value of preload is the one quoted in AR manuals (its...

Thanks Barry, you saved me the trouble of writing the sermon! Our diffs DON'T have the spring washers.As it comes from the factory (theoretically) the preload AR gives in the specs is 1,5kgm (about 15Nm) for 25% lock. This is fine for the street but for track use you may want 47% (advocated by AR, e...

Right Barry, to normal people it simply means 'good morning'. However, if you happen to be a member of an AR car club, the dictionary also gives another meaning: "where the f#*!!k are my Christmas presents???!!", hahahah!!! I swear, its true!
Jim K. (in early Xmas spirits!)

Hi Barry, you already speak enough Greek to get in trouble, I see! If you're looking for a Rotary Position Sensor (the formal name for a Throttle Pot) WITH a through D shaped hole, check out RS Components (company and site) and the part number is 319-310, with a retail price of 17.30UKP. Its the exa...

Come on Barry, out with the price of the runners! What with Xmas coming, I figure I can make me a present and get both the runners and the mfi-pro IF the total price is under a million!
Regards,
Jim K.

There's been more than enough talk about the Quaife LSD in the recent past. It is WAY better than the std factory LSD even when this last one is correctly adjusted, as the Quaife DOES NOT WEAR or require readjustment! You install it and that's the last time you'll need to see it (unless you break so...
