Alfetta GTV 2.0

Hi! I've just bought an '81 Alfetta GTV 2.0, and was thinking about fitting the front anti roll bar from my 75 Turbo (24mm). I didnt find out yet how large is the alfetta one... 1st: are they interchangeable? 2nd: Is this a nice upgrade, considering it would reduce the pronouced body roll knowned fo...

Julian, I hope I can see you EVO before 2009!

Here's a clip with the sound of the new exhaust:

Plugs for Turbo

I'm using NGK B7ES in my 75 Turbo, but I've been advised to use something colder, like 8 or 9, just to be safe of not melting a plug.
Std engine with Squadra Chip!
Any thoughts?

Mats, acording to what you say, the EVO manifold should make a big difference... Here are some pictures of the crack: Engine cold: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/Atravessa/75%20Turbo/Img058.jpg 5 secs. after been started from cold (water leaking???): http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/Atravess...

It's been a while since I've handle exhaust issues, but finally I made up my mind. I got a custom made stainless steel exhaust! It has a 70mm (aprox. 2,75 inches) diameter pipe, straight from the turbo, with no silencer at all! The "no silencer situation" is temporary as I'm planning to du...

Cracked turbo

The turbo from my 75 has developed a crack in the turbine (exhaust) side. It's located near the pivot from the wastegate valve. I guess there's no air leak yet, but how long can this hang on? Is there any repair procedure, or I just have to replace it? If I have to replace it, what turbo should I go...

I was thinking on this too. I´m going to start the works on my 75 Turbo, but i´m going to change the intercooler, put megasquirt and maybe water/metanol injection. It has an evo engine. But are you modifying the standard intercooler to water cooling? Regarding the front intercooler setup, here is a...

Any engine bay pics? Does the trottlebody has to be repositioned? I recall that the 75 EVO race car has the trottlebody in the same place as the road car.. but then it's a very close fit to the cooler pipes, because the compressor outlet is facing up in the road car, and facing down in the EVO race ...

I'm also planning to mount a front IC. I have the 75 TurboDiesel twin fan water radiator set up ready to be installed. I also have a 75 1.6 i.e. inlet manifold to dump the standard IC. This way I can use the trottle body in its standard position. Question now is there any front intercooler that can ...

Problem solved!

Samco hose between turbo and AFM, and GTV V6 TB AFM adapter ti circular section!

Now, I've just need to work out the type of filter to go for.
Any ideas?

EVO set up

Hi Guys! I've noticed that the EVO AFM setup is different from the other Turbos' and I was thinking of converting my America to that setup in order to eliminate that ugly bend between the turbo and the AFM, and to change the big air filter box to a cone or foam direct filter. Just by looking at some...

Dump valve in a standard 1.8TB

Hi!

I was wondering how and where to fit a dump valve, in order to reduce some of the lag form the turbo...

The "whooosh" sound is nice too! :twisted:

Thanks!

I was going to say that you were very close to Italy, by being in Croatia, but then I saw you're in Split, and that's very far from Italy!

I've been in Croatia (Trogir, Split, Makarska and Dubrovnik) in 2004, great country! Hope to be back there soon...
