Re: New 24v ITB's

Decided to go slightly different route and build own budget ITB kit using available parts. First "half" arrived today from Latvia (just a matter of luck, where they have them cheapest). They are from a Triumph 675 which as you can see is a three cylinder. Nevertheless you can split them on...

Re: Interesting Dry 24V Sump Project

Good idea Evo. Found somthing similar already as CNC for 2.600 EUR. Just the operating diameter seems quite small 400x100x250. Just wondering if the table can be enlarged afterwards. http://www.ebay.de/itm/3D-CNC-Frasmaschine-Kompas-VF25GS-Mit-Kugelgewindespindeln-Top-angebot-/171235103115?pt=Indust...

Trying to undo the nut from the main pulley led to braking the socket. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EdTuZxDr2jk/UvDSBYGyBRI/AAAAAAAAAsM/GYzLdZRmn1M/w1024-h768-no/DSCN0493.JPG Just bought a straight 3/4 without using the reduction and it did the trick. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nD6c1DS...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Thanks Alan. You are right. I was following your both threads. On here as well as on AO. And saw your new toy and the vids of you driving it on Grobnik track. Really like your DIY and low budget approach very much. Forces you to come up with very nice alternative solutions. Moreover you are one of t...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

While planning. One of my first issues will be the flywheel as it needs to be balanced together with crank shaft and the main pulley. Since the one I have is completely useless I will need to buy the right one. Could you please advice me which one is the best option to fit in the GTV6 housing? Do I ...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Thank you Jim. I am not in hurry at all as my engine project will be a slow one. :) Anyway would you please confirm it is possible to reprofile the 3.0 cams as well? And also by reading your posts on AO it is not cleat to me now. Are you changing exhaust cams profile also? You wrote that inlet GTA c...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Welcome Saabretooth! Nice to have you here. It gets really interesting. Following the advices and discussion I will ask Jim to help me with the cams and really tempted to buy the adjustable gears with that also. If I understood well there are Renault profiles and some even more performance focused l...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

I believe it is the AO Forum member calling himself Saabretooth. Here is his summary - http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-gta ... ost6694081 . I have asked him about his plans and he mentioned being in touch with Jim regarding Cams. Also planning to increase compression.

Bags of olives. :) Maybe I would not mind as they are expensive due to bad weather or something I heard.

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Thank you Jim. Others have already made it clear to me. :) That was the reason I posted this question on here as I was not 100% sure about porting. Now it is clear to me you were recommending that for the 12V engine in the book. How about the rods and pistons lightening? I saw your comments in Alain...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Interesting thoughts. After reading Jim's book I was convinced porting will be necessary. One job less. By the way this is a comparison of the ported 3.75 Autodelta (UK) engine and the OEM 3.2: http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1518/wf86.jpg So I will focus on replacing only those internal parts th...

Re: 3.0 24V - your suggestions

Thank you for the advice EVO. I really like your idea about ITBs. Completely forgot about Triumph being a three cylinder. That would make it much easier and cheaper to put things together. In relation to ITB. I was also wondering if the length of the runners make the same difference as in case of on...
