Re: 24v cam timing adjustment

i didnt loosen the belt and just loosen the cam bolt for one full turn, then used homemade puller (plate with two hooks that go in the cam gear holes and screw in the middle that presses onto cam screw head) to loosen it from taper, than 25mm wrench and adjust the cam, hold it in place and tighten t...

Re: The WTF wheel adapter. 4x100mm to 5x98 wheel adapter

Re: Son of Cab a FWD racer?

Fwd can be fun, my 156 3.0 has become pretty fast car with 1000kg and 270-ish hp :D (there were 71 cars on timeattack)

Re: Son of Cab a FWD racer?

yeah why not :D but to have cheap and readily available parts, 156 or 147 should be easier to get body parts. My 156: stock-ish 2.5 v6 http://shrani.si/f/2f/qs/1oc7ILOA/sphavba.jpg 3.0 tuned and lightened to 1000kg cca, a lot of homemade parts: http://shrani.si/f/20/96/a2qtppq/4278563020473889189073...

Re: Head torque settings for 24V

i always do it like factory specs, but not 4x60. I do it 2x120 degree so to have no stop while the bolt is already torqued so much. I hope you understand :D

Here you can see the difference in rear arms: http://shrani.si/f/36/md/1b3V5zoI/20141224142709.jpg random pic of front arm: http://shrani.si/f/1S/cQ/2IExTTW1/r...

Re: 2013 Silverstone Classic ( 300hp beats 500hp !)

Why not fabricate your own parts, i modified my 156 a lot and all is homemade. Made lower arms with unibal and raised them at the subframe 10mm and mowed the upper alu piece that holds the upper arm more out and rotate it to gain more caster and less camber (i made lower arms longer and wheels 40mm ...

Re: Balancing factor 3.2 V6 + solid flywheel 2.5?

balancing factor is described in Jim K. book.
50% is normal, for trackcar that sees a lot of revs, use 51 max 52%
I did my engine by the book and it revs smoothly and freely.

Re: Another big-brake kit for 15"wheels.

why dont you use 305 x 28mm 5x98 disc from new gtv. Then you wouldnt need to grind the caliper. I think that 3mm diametre difference wouldnt decrease braking performance too much :)

I think you had more power than the S2K. Did the rear tire blow out?
Front right tyre peeled off.

Re: Alfa Romeo 75 3,0 V6 Gr. A Conversion from 12V to 24V

Great build!

Plenum looks like a clean and simple design. Maybe you could make some trumpets inside (should give even more flow)
I did them like this:
