Re: 4-cylinder turbo performance

greetings Jim,

Is that with t3 inlet on a log manifold or EL manifold?
And u are right, smaller turbine housing would be better... that 100 hp kick between 4k-4.5k rpm is crazy... you say it doesn't feel alive in the street? yes the power comes in late but it must be fun :twisted:

Re: 4-cylinder turbo performance

Alfa Variator works between 1000 and 3500 rpm... and it boosts torque between 2500 and 3200 rpm...at 3500 it goes back to normal timing... It advances the valves 10 degrees between those rpm... and thats it... 1.8t engines are not as common in europe as u might think... the whole series was sold on ...
