Re: Finally my Giulietta from Uruguay
Well after many years, changing Giulietta's and getting all the parts and conversion together it's finally running. Engine from a 164, megasquirt 2, TS gearbox, 28mm bars, koni struts and poly bushings. Just waiting for the bumpers and other little trim bits to be put in. Oh, I have a Jim K design e...

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
Cool! i'm interested on seeing the results on your 1.8 turbo, I have a Twin Spark engine for the race Giulietta laying around that needs a rebuild, and i've been toying with the idea to rebuild the engine for a turbo application, looking for broadband of torque and power more than peak, so turbo sel...

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
I agree with you completely, doing that without variable cam timing is also another challenge, I guess the best approach, in case you need to rebuild the engine is the big bore approach and then cams, to make use of those big ports. So what engine size do you think the ports are made for given their...

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
I see what you mean, I was thinking more in the lines of revving the engine up for more power as it seems the ports are over dimentioned for the std 3 liter displacement instead of going the big bore route, at least for a bit of cost saving maybe, but as I see, the 24v has the same problem as the 33...

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
Hey Jim, how about the hydraulic lifters? what's the max rpm they can stand? I remember having to limit the 33 16v rpm's due to the lifters not coping, 7600 rpm's was max, could have gotten more power as the curve was still climbing at that rpm....

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
Yes, Giulietta I meant, project has been going on for years, sourcing parts and just working on it, plus a whole chasis change in the middle for a better shaped Giulietta. Next step, supercharging.... I need to find a home for the 24v engine I have, maybe get myself a GTV6 abroad. In the meantime i'...

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
Nice! I can only think how my Giulie is going to go with TS box and the 164 V6, it should start next week and maybe be able to go around the block a little bit.
Are you going to make some vids Jim??

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
I've had a good experience with Megasquirt, I think the user festy was decoding the 24v ecu, but I don't know if it's the same ECU you are using, I would still prefer the std ecu, it has knock detection right?

Re: My engine 3.0 V6 24V
Yep, new pistons and liners, should bump compression while you are at it, upgrade injectors and please get a proper mapping before opening up the throttle big time...
