ALFAGTV6.COM

I was speaking to my mechanic, who just told me that he heard you can just drop in a Maserati V6 Twin Turbo into an Alfa GTV6. I this true ? could be, somewhere i heard alfas used to make the old maserati's, not to sure tho

Yes you can ,
you will have to make some arrangements for the flywheel and make some room for the cooling system .
In the end of the day a costum built TT alfa engine isn't less potent than the Masserati one and may be easier to fit perfectly.

yea, and why would you want to trade one head ache for another? i mean the maserati parts are prob more difficult to find than alfa gtv6 parts. i heard from someone who has driven one of the biturbos that the turbo lag is complete garbage and the car is such a dog before they spool up. it probably sounds just as nice though...

ahhhhh very true guys, thanx

if i remenber its a 90° ve...

so it translate to awesome headacke for eshaust, maintenance..Ect...

Alfa 3.0 conversion into Biturbo Maserati coupe would make more sense. Much more room in Maserati for Alfa set up than for Maser in GTV6.

I've read up on those BeeeeeTurbos and came to the conclusion that they just didn't spec out as well as our transaxle cars. A well tuned Maser probably goes pretty well, but they are nose heavy, have solid front rotors, the 90 degree rough cob vee6, rear-toe changing semi-trailing arm suspension, and not as good looking as the GTV6. Add a well tuned 3.0L and the performance advantage goes away. Also, the early cars had carbs! It does have three valves per cylinder but that's about it as far as I can see.
Now I admit that having something different is always interesting, and I thought it pretty cool seeing one on the track at a club track day a few years back, but otherwise it seems like an inferior car to our Alfas. Neither a Maser engine in an Alfa or an Alfa engine in a Maserati seem to add up to me.

Merril,
I think that the author was reffering to a new age Masser 3.2TT engine that comes in the Biturbo Coupe rather than the old gen 2.2 3 valves per cyl engine that came in the less sportive salon cars.
A well built turbo 12v alfa motor could supply very good power from lowdown to 7K redline ,furthermore going single turbo on a 12v would even clear some room for A/C and power steering to the lazy ones:)

would the maserati's turbos be a resonable addition to the Alfa V6

I don't think so, because Jake wrote he heard about the V6 biturbos.
The 3.2 liter one is a V8 appeard the first time in 89 in the Shamal.
Anyway at the same time they launched a new generation of V6s as well with 24v and 2-3 years later a 2-liter model was capable to produce 306 HP in a Ghibli or 335 in a Ghibli Cup in the middle of 90's.
Anyway I think it's a way better to upgrade our V6s with turbos than go for a 'mule car'.
