ISN'T THAT WHAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IS DOING?????

evilbay... I didn't get the engine

Hi Guys,

Just finishing reading the 11 pages, I want to do the same to my ts.
But then with a rotrex.

Specs

Je Pistons 8.5-1
Rotrex c30-94
Copper gasket.
Oring my liners
Intercooler 600*300*60

Stock con rods
Stock intake
Stock cams/Head

Mangement KMS
Fuel 128 octane (cheap)

All the bits and pieces must be in this week.

I want a reliable engine for track use (n'ring) aim 275 HP

Please give comments for the do's and DON'T s

Can not find a new oil-pump for a reasonable price, does anyone have a address?

Arno.


PS can someone supply me with detailed pics of a autodelta/alfa corse dedion axle.
My next project.

My don't comment is, don't use the Rotrex, or any other centrifugal on an Alfa 4cyl.

Do use a Garret

Didn't Greg just tell you NOT to use a centrifugal on an Alfa 4???

Well, I meant a centrifugal belt driven compressor. An exhaust driven compressor doesn't have the same problem because the compressor speed is NOT fixed in relation to engine speed. I can make a great argument for Roots or Lysholm design superchargers, or for turbochargers. There is no way to make a good argument for a centrifugal supercharger on these engines, at least not one based on performance.

Greg, Greg, Greg. I thought you would have picked up on my tongue in cheek humor .
Pretty sure that la_strega_nera would have

tacky, tacky, tacky

Hi Duk, Yup, I am a little dense sometimes! I just have this reflex action, when someone says Alfa and centrifugal in the same sentance, I say NOOO, not unless you want to lose to every other forced induction car on the road.

Its been a long time since some new hardware has been presented anywhere for the 1.8T engine. Well, after some deliberation with Paul Spruell and CP, here is a new forged piston for these engines, which will accept the well-proven factory rings. Slight valve cutouts are evident and CR is 8:1 (std CR is 7.5:1). Weight is 448gr, 11gr less than the std items. Here are a couple of pics from the first production set I got yesterday next to a std new piston. P.Spruell has been instrumental in seeing this project through and he plans to delve further into the 1.8T and TS parts world soon.

Ok, we all know the 1.8T can make lots of power. If components are not up to par, things sometimes break, but I didn't ever think I would see something like the pictured item! The particular 1.8T has ~280 wheel hp and 38kgm (275ftlbs) of torque. The owner loves stoplight rubber and apparently the std flywheel has had enough! I am amazed at the way it btoke! I suppose too much traction did this but G.Gordon would know more about this!

That must have been a scary experience for the driver...

And this is why I always warn people about drilling holes in a cast flywheel...

Imagine that happening at 200Km/h, it would take a while before you think to depress the clutch I'd say...

Pistons look sturdy, looks like quite a lot of squish though, comments?
