Re: exhaust flames - how and why???

A mystery to me is why some racing cars have flames licking from the exhaust on the overrun. :? I don't mean turbos, but NA racing engines. And I'm not talking about the short sharp spits of flame (my 105 used to do that), but long slow big licks of flame - think V8 SuperTaxis and you'll know what ...

After delays due to bad weather and the need to go work at my real job, I finally got to the dyno shop today. Results were decent, although not quite as high as I had hoped. The engine put out 231rwhp at about 6500 rpm. I will put the dyno sheet up tomorrow. I feel this is a respectable number for ...

Has anyone tried a twin system that incorperates an X-pipe?
Where both sides join together for a short length and then seperate again.
Apparently they help quite a bit and are farely popular with the v8 fraternity, atleast here in Australia.

Nice work Baz. But it is strange to read an engine builder who endorces running an engine extra rich for extended lengths of time. Aren't you concerned with washing the oil off the bores causing increased wear? Also, the extra carbon deposits in the combustion chamber causing hot spots and pre-ignit...

How about enclosing the standard intercooler in aluminium and pumping water though the fins, turning it into a water to air intercooler? It's been done befor with other air to air intercoolers and it keeps the plumbing nice and short. Water to air intercoolers can work real well (tho I don't persona...

:?

As much as I love seeing quality custom stuff that is actually done by the owner........... I'm still thinking NO!

Looks like a waste of what appeared to be a decent Alfa :cry:

To each their own I suppose.

:wall: Nice work tho.

Do you notice much of an improvement with the your drop spindle mods? Would you be interested in modifying a set for anyone else (road use)?
Love the custom stuff. Very innovative 8) .

Hi Greg,
when is your book coming out? You could perhaps sell the plans for your kit seperately as well.

Curious about the sensoring of photo's :? . You were more than generous with the photo's for Super Red Verde Greg, have you improved your design of the supercharger mount/discharge plumbing?

About air to air intercoolers. Is it wise to put electrical fans on them to cool the air while standing still or driving at low (city) speeds. Typically not required unless the intercooler is getting heat soaked from other hot components. WRX's suffer from this with their top mount intercoolers. I ...

75 Motronic Wiring Diagram

Hi all, can anybody help me find a wiring diagram for a Motronic (1990) Australian delivered 75?
Do the early 164 use the same Motronic computer as the 75?
Would an early 164 wiring diagram be worth trying to get?
Cheers. :wall:
