Yes . I would like to see a follow up on this .

The Jenvey’s are really designed for the front wheel drive Alfas to fit under the bonnet hence they are sooo short. Ideally on the 24v when placed in the transaxle should have a longer runners with throttle bodies each side above the cam covers . This is a current project leading on from the throttl...

There is a very exciting project that I will start posting next year. It’s gonna grace the race tracks, it will spit flames, it’s gonna be to Historic Touring car specs (we’ll sort off) it’s gonna deliver 380 Hp but it’s how its gets delivered is the biggest “ innovation “ since the 90s . It’s a tra...

Yep ! All the cloning in FB is bullshit ! It definitely has its place .
I need to do a full post on the throttle body set up !!

Now it’s back to dyno to remap the new injectors . Probably only in new year. Some interior pics and that’s all. Comments welcome

New idle valve , sump gasket refresh and coil packs

One Humpty Dumpty was back together I pressure tested the water system system and just check did a static compression test. Well I did find water leak out of bottle so good news that was all

New injectors fitted for much higher flow as noted previously from dyno session I ran out of fuel at 5600rpm .
New type are 340cc Bosch

I used to have sealing rings that sat on top of the sleeves . These rings had very sharp edges that bit into the heads to seal. Back in 2007 I had head gaskets made so I had these rings machined flat. Well so I thought . The were definitely not parallel.So now it was to make no rings giving max 0-06...

Next up was new water pump, thermostat conversion from Jim’s latest book, a proper fan and fresh pipework.

As mentioned on previous page the head gasket went on the last session of the track day . Was not to upset as it had already done two seasons of racing back in 2007 . So it was heads off and reskim time. I thought while the heads are off a whole lot of updgrades needed to take place. It was not the ...

Interesting corner weights to compare to my standard original 3.0 road car at 1280kg vs front gearbox mount track car.

Before the track day I spent some time changing the suspension set up and geometry. I swapped my custom bilstein coilovers to my other car to try out some adjustable coil overs a friend built for me. The options on the rear were I could run coil overs or separate springs. At this stage it’s separate...

Finally the Classic Alfa Track arrived and with the help of my mate Matt I got both my GTV 6s out onto the track. My original road 3.0 was sporting its new throttle body conversion which has been in progress for the last 30months . I will post more information on that in another topic .

Leading up to the track day I decided to get the car back on the dyno (rollers) to check the mixtures etc . It’s the first time it’s been on the dyno since coming to UK and we immediately picked up its running out of injectors !! Not surprising as these were my old 164 3.0s and I was living at 6000f...
