Zamani,

I reckon I found that picture on Mendes website for IMSA Alfa parts. It's been in the Alfa pics folder a long.

Dropped spindles would certainly improve geometry and travel too ! I do have two sets of front spindles & hubs, but I've never felt brave enough to trust them being cut up and re-welded to give the necessary extended lower section. Perhaps instead of drop spindles, look at doing an upside down lowe...

A good picture.

With regards to inlet manifold design, I'd suggest that you look at very capable normally aspirated engines. Notably the Ferrari 458 and the 991 chassis Porsche 911 GT3. Both make about 125hp/litre and the Ferrari engine achieves a BMEP number of 15+. Importantly, neither of them use ITBs. If you co...

Does anyone know of a suitable liner material other than grade of cast iron that usually gets used?
If a stronger, stiffer steel type of material could work as a cylinder liner, then it might be more suitable for a high stress application even with a thin wall thickness.

How far could the capacity of the 2 litre motor be taken? With 2.2 or more litres of engine and a well sized (as small as you could get away with) turbo, you'd broaden the torque curve of the engine noticably. Really speeking, if you were able to add 10% more engine capacity, then you should be able...

Going by what Jim has said, you might aswell start with the Holden (GM) 3.6 litre engine. All aluminium with continuously variable valve timing for all 4 camshafts. Jammed into the now dead local Commodores, they move those barges OK. Modified for more power and in a much lighter car, they'd make de...

Got a friend with a 420hp turbo TS powered 75 street sedan. His words : "Mostly undrivable./unusable power". Without knowing a lot more about it, I'd guess he's got a pretty sizeable turbo on there. Probably of the GT30 variety? Fairly sizeable turbo on a fairly small capacity engine does tend to b...

I've asked similar questions in the past. Obviously a turbo'd 3 litre V6 will give the highest average torque, even if peak HP is kept the same as a 2 litre. If the car's weight is kept within reason, it would be effortlessly fast pretty much everywhere in the rev range. Effortlessly fast in a strai...

I was having a look through my Haynes manual for the Alfetta's and it shows needle bearing rather than bushes in those older gearboxes.

Excellent!

Shweet!
But the video needed to be much longer!

[quote="4SFED4"]Any consideration of monetizing the site to offset costs?[/quote] I for 1 am totally against this appoach to running a forum. There becomes a conflict of interests and that very rapidly intrudes into the freedom of speach we all enjoy here. I was once instructed to alter, (Alter, not...

Lets do everything we can to keep the forum alive and the excellent information that lives here available for many more years to come. I'm sure that most people are more than happy to make contributions to cover the cost of any move to a different platform. But I really believe that it needs to stay...

Something I've been thinking about for a while based on some of the things that have been posted on various forums by guys like MD, but also Richard Jemmison over on AlfaBB. MD says that 1 rubber coupling at the engine is a minimum. Richard says that 2 couplings are required if you use a solid centr...
