You have definatly captured the 'spirit' of the place.Glad to see you give our old Transaxle cars some due credit as I read Roberto Giordanelli's write up in Auto Italia and he is mostly very unflattering about the 116 setup. Fernando, I fail to see how this is mostly 'unflattering'? If you are ref...

Hi Greg The big drawback from the centri blowers, is not only minimal gain at low to medium revs, but also one of cost. Vortech, and Rotrex are mega expensive compared to Eaton. Cheaper to Turbo the engine than go Centriblower. And thats exactly what I want to avoid - heat problems, big intercooler,...

Have a look at these!! I think it would not be too hard to make a bracket that uses the 75 power steering mounts - similar to the early nord aircon mounts in the picture. Both using m45?? I think they only reach low boost - I'd be looking for 12-14psi @ 6500rpm with a twinspark motor!!! Has got to m...

Andrew, I know a guy in Denmark running a Rotrex SC on the good old 8 valve 2 liter TS (out of a 75). I belive he gets about 230 reliable wheel HP at about 0.6 bar, estimated 250 crank HP. Think they did a kit - super nice, the engine compartment looks factory! He is running it in an Alfetta GTV (t...

Supercharged 2.0 TwinSpark.....
Has this ever been tried?? I would love to S/C a TwinSpark 2.0 and stick it in a 105 GTA replica, or an early Alfetta GT...... What sort of specs could you expect?? Power estimates. Keep the standard pistons?? say running about 9 psi, will they be strong enough. I guess you could off set the little ...

The quad cam motors already have adjustable cam pulleys from the factory 8) So you dont really need them - But I went with Lightweight Alloy pulleys for my 3.7 race motor :D But only to look cooler than everybody else!!! Sad I know. I can tell them it's worth 1/2 a second a lap :D Was a development ...

Engine looks really nice eh!! Prices are aruond £8-9000 bracket, but i' sure JJ will give exact pricing for you. I was out with Dawie for 2 weeks before John arrived (late) and saw the motor semi built, waiting the american rods and pistons. Having driven several full race 3.7 motors, I can tell you...

Andrew was out here from UK , so he also took a lot of pics. Also got some pics of our trip to Zwartkopps race track on Wednesday where Dawie had prepared a 3.5 12v carb GTV with newly fitted RS suspension . Nice to see Dawie put in a few laps himself and ofcourse Andrew using every millimetre of t...

We also took the time to hook up a TP100 ignition module (which kind of serves the same function as the "fly-back board on the MS conversions) to allow you to run low impedance injectors... ANOTHER CLARIFICATION HERE: It was my understanding that you "can't" run low impedance injector...
