Re: ITB Conversion Alfetta GTV 2.0

Given that guys are topping out at 200-210hp on 48s on the 2ls and TS motors, you're not suddenly going to see 230hp converting to ITBs... just ain't going to happen, and funnily enough, doesnt happen. Your statement is logical, however there could be an improvement in power at the lower RPM's but ...

Re: ITB Conversion Alfetta GTV 2.0

Hi guys, Thanks for the amazing response. The GSXR ITBs sound... interesting, will check into this! Do they come out as standard on the bike? @ JohnGTA, the car is a 4 cylinder, not a V6, would the power output still be the same? Can anyone else confirm the 20-25bhp increase on the 4c variant? Is i...

Re: ITB Conversion Alfetta GTV 2.0

or jenvy type, which are bolt on replacments for your webers Brad, These SA "DICE" ITB's are identical to the Jenvey's, basically reverse engineered. Locally a set of ITB's for the V6 would hit you at around e2750.00 with duties etc, the DICE inits are about 50% of that. Results are the s...

Re: ITB Conversion Alfetta GTV 2.0

Forgot....................power wise expect 20-25bhp & obviously it will make a serious improvement at the top end. When I first tried them it was on a 3.7L 24V in my GTA, this motor at the time was in stage 3 spec, 288degree cams, 11:1CR,big valve heads & with a single throttle body attache...

Re: ITB Conversion Alfetta GTV 2.0

Hi, Here in SA, Gotech&Glenwood Motors use a local supplier who makes great ITB's, known as DICE(David Ingles). I'm using them on my 147GTA3.8L, the same size would work ideally on your set-up, 45mm. Give Dawie De Villiers a call on +27 82 9001926. With the Rand exchange rate you will find the p...

Re: 3.7 156 vs. E46 M3

Seems that this red 156 in SA got spanked. It's on youtube, I'm a little discouraged to post the link, but go and search on youtube. Zamani, The war of words with this soulblade idiot was an exchange with me. This particular 156 3.7 was just a big bore, exhaust & Unichip...........................

Zman, No more Alfa`s, no parts, no special stuff, no nothing. I now drive a Nissan. 8) Barry, Wasn't there an Alfa/Nissan joining of forces years back that created a seriously bad looking Alfa?

Re: Kevin GTV's and other Alfa's

Kevin, Great to hear from you. Lyntton's GTV & mine are parked next to eachother in AJ's workshop. His car is now complete but I've taken mine to further extremes as I want the car in Concourse d'etat spec but it's not entirely original, well externally yes as you cannot tell by looking that it'...

Re: Kevin GTV's and other Alfa's

Kevin, Have a good time over there. Any plans to visit Jano at Autodelta? Towards the end of Feb I'll be flying up to JNB & off to Dawies place for a few days. I will also be collecting my 156GTA which I am sure you have seen the old man running around with & doing final testing & mappin...
