Never seen or heard of a 2.0 with v6 tank and battery placement from the factory. But hey,they 're italians sorry anything is possible i guess. :wink:
after loads of research I have come to the same conclusion
maybe they had a surplus of v6 chassis and needed to fulfil an export order
in a way I'm glad as the only difference is the front mount

In late 1984 in South Africa there were quite a few GTV 2.0 that were actually made from excess GTV 6 shells . So battery was in boot and tank behind rear seats , the hubs were five bolt pattern however the torsion bars and callipers were same as 2.0 . Estimate about fifty of these cars were made . Also they had full recaro interior with long dashboard . The chassis numbers were never stamped into the chassis but rivetted onto plates in the inner wings .

this is a late 84 and is as you described ive checked calipers and torsion bars which are tge same as the v6
wonder if some of these were exported to the Belgium market ill check the number on chassis
1 had a 147 2002 2.0 t spark which was a Belgium import
That had no external boot opening and no control buttons on the steering whell

but hey
That's Alfa

good work there mate
next dilemma is the fuel injection wiring
Ive got the wiring with the ecu but how to splice it in is going to be a head scratcher

Thanks Darryl,
I am going to use a Motec ECU Hopefully I done have too much of a issue.

I am having a bit of an issue with the flywheel bolts, i have fitted the flywheel with the 4 mm spacer and need 12Mx1.25 by 34mm long bolts. these bolts are very hard to get. Would you know any Alfa with these flywheel bolts sizes. :?:

You need the flywheel bolts from a 75 V6 Motronic engine with the 1.25mm pitch bolts. Early engines had 1.5mm pitch but somewhere along the line they were changed for 1.25mm. If you can't find them, you can look for the same size in Allen-head (hex) design, but they must be high grade 12-12.9.

You should use Autronic. Beninca is in your area. I think the Autronic SM4 is about 1/2 the price of Motec M800.

Hi Jim,
I had been to a bolt supplier for the flywheel bolts and he has recommended Allen-head grade 5 titanium bolts, They are just under grade 12-12.9 .
Has any one used these bolts for mounting their flywheel. :?:

Titanium bolts? :shock: I don't know how they compare to steel ones. This is something the mechanical guys can tackle, the 3M's -Maurizio, Mats, Micke? 8) As far as I know, Ti bolts are only used in corrosive environments but lack in tensile strength. Hardness and tensile strength are different things.

This is what you need. Unfortunately not available in 35mm length.

I can probably get them for you.shipping might be expensive however... The bolts themselves are not cheap either.
Drive it like you stole it...

Why titanium bolts? I've never heard of any flywheel bolts failure before. Down there a badly lighteed flywheel or giubos are probably the first to go.

hi all the engine is sat nicely in the car
Just a quick question
Ive heard because gtv rear bell housing mounting points on the transmission tunnel are slightly different to the gtv6 I need some spacers before I bolt them up
Does anyone know the thickness of these
Thanks

Ti bolts is nice stuff, a bit overdone for what you want here. As the price will shock you a little bit.
I'm not sure what grade the standard bolts are, my memory recalls a 10.9 grade.
*edit*
JimK states in the post below 12.9 grade, his memory is more often refreshed with this stuff :lol:
*edit*
The standard bolts will just do fine with the correct torque, secured with the correct locktite will do the job!


So for the sake of improving common knowledge:

A Ti gr5 bolt is strength wise (Rp0.2!) just below (90%) a 10.9 grade bolt.
Ultimate strength is just above a 10.9 bolt, but you don't want to use a bolt in that region :wink:

But the real advantage: low young's modules, so larger elastic deformation due to the pre-tension.
Which says something about the quality of a connection.
Simply explained, setting/relaxation behavior in the connecting parts has less impact on the end tension in the connection.
Ti has a low density, so low mass with regards to a steel bolt.
